[HowardDay]

We're a few months down the road, and I'm hoping there's some update.

Pinging again, a month later.

Hey!

This will be discussed with the team next week, it is still on the GPU roadmap with priority. Sorry this is taking time :/ ,It is that the devs has been busy with big features for a while now like texture compression(nearly finished) and kernel 3

Best,
Muhammed

HowardDay This is now in the nightly builds, being tested by our QAs as well

Thanks! Unfortunately, using June 2nd's nightly in Max 2022.3, rendering a spotlight with a projection map will randomly flicker in brightness on the GPU in RTX mode...
Also visible on the spotlights of the main, center ship in this animation:

Isn't this intentional ? Your "SpotCookie" has two frames and the bitmap node is referencing them using an IFL file ?

Oh my god, you're right - that's exactly the problem. Sheesh, it must have auto generated the ifl because there were two images.
Sorry to waste your time!

[HowardDay]

And, nope, I was wrong. I double checked, and the lights in the ship scene are definitely using only the single PNG, not the IFL. And the flickering is random, per frame, per light. https://drive.google.com/file/d/11d2...ew?usp=sharing
So this is still a problem, unfortunately.

Thanks for the file
Our Developers are looking into this now, plus couple of other issues related to Omni and Directional lights
