Improvements & bugfixes

Adaptivity Clamp control is introduced in the Render Parameters' Optimizations section. The default value of 1.5 avoids excessive sampling of overexposed areas while a value of 100 disables this optimization
‘Viewport Texture Resolution’ option is implemented (Extensions > V-Ray > Preferences > Viewport Texture Resolution). It controls the size of all viewport texture previews of materials using the Bake binding mode
Bake Binding Texture Mode is now enabled by default for newly created materials
Fixed an issue with the V-Ray File Path Editor causing baked textures to lose their names and fail to render properly
An issue preventing the V-Ray File Path Editor from archiving Raw Bitmap Buffer textures is resolved
Scatter tool information is now displayed in the SketchUp Instructor tray and status bar
Scatter Area Modifiers are now inactive when using '1D - On Splines' scattering mode to reflect that they have no effect on it
Scatter's 'Normal Alignment' rotation option now accepts negative values. As a result Scatter instances can be aligned towards the vertical down (-Z) axis
Scatter's UV Grid surface mode no longer ignores the size of the host’s group or component material
Editing a Scatter guest's group or component no longer causes its instances to appear misaligned in the viewport
An issue preventing interactive updates when deleting a Scatter widget is resolved
An issue preventing interactive updates when adding an additional Scatter host is resolved
Instances of Scatter objects duplicated during interactive rendering no longer disappear from the rendered image
Fixed an issue preventing the update of Scatter asset's Guest list after deleting and reapplying a component as a guest twice in a row
Fixed a crash caused by undoing and redoing the creation of a Scatter asset with enabled Scatter Viewport preview
Added a 'Submit New' button to the Chaos Cloud window. Submitting consecutiveCloud rendering jobs is now possible without having to close and reopen the window each time
An issue preventing the Cloud window from reloading automatically after updated Chaos Cloud application is resolved
An issue causing updates of the Chaos Cloud application to produce errors is resolved
Implemented safeguard logic which prevents the V-Ray log files from reaching abnormal size
An issue causing an incorrect state of the Export button in the Export V-Ray Proxy window is resolved
Export V-Ray Scene window now correctly sets the current project's name in its File Path field
Export V-Ray Proxy window now consistently provides the same output file name when being opened multiple times
An issue preventing V-Ray windows from closing when opening a new file is resolved
An issue causing the Animation Frame sliders to disappear in specific situations is resolved
An issue causing the V-Ray UI to crash in rare situations is resolved
Canceling the opening of a new SketchUp model no longer closes the Asset Editor
The V-Ray Log window now correctly filters errors not caused by V-Ray and no longer pops up for such encounters
The Adaptive lights optimization no longer causes artifacts in scenes containing Subsurface Scattering materials
The Environment Background multiplier now affects the Sky texture's procedural clouds when rendered with V-Ray GPU
The VFB no longer prints a localization error when rendering for the first time in a new session
Removal of a V-Ray modifier from a Scatter's guest no longer deletes all instance previews from the viewport
Opening scenes with missing Cosmos or Enmesh asset files no longer leads to errors
An issue causing a crash after undoing and redoing a V-Ray Light creation during interactive rendering is resolved
macOS: Fixed an error prompted by import of assets with auto-generated UI
macOS: Entering sleep mode no longer severs the communication between V-Ray and SketchUp
