Improvements & bugfixes

  • Adaptivity Clamp control is introduced in the Render Parameters’ Optimizations section. It can be used to avoid excessive sampling of overexposed areas.
  • Scatter Area Modifiers are now inactive when using ‘1D - On Splines’ scattering mode to reflect that they have no effect on it.
  • Fixed an issue preventing Scatter’s ‘Normal Alignment’ rotation option from accepting negative values. Scatter instances can now be aligned towards the vertical down (-Z) axis
  • Scatter guests with V-Ray Fur are no longer omitted from being rendered
  • Improved Scatter UV Grid surface mode handling of host objects with different mapping channels
  • Fixed an issue where Scatter’s points previews are not drawn on the host’s surfaces when Bounding box volume center guest origin is selected
  • Fixed an issue causing removal of V-Ray special objects from a Scatter’s guest to delete all instance previews from the viewport
  • Added a ‘Submit New’ button to the Chaos Cloud window. Submitting multiple Cloud rendering jobs is now possible without having to close and reopen the window each time.
  • Fixed an issue preventing the Cloud window from reloading automatically after updated Chaos Cloud application
  • An issue causing updates of the Chaos Cloud application to produce errors is resolved
  • Implemented safeguard logic preventing 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 always uses the current project’s name in its File Path field
  • A valid default file path is now used in the Export V-Ray Proxy window
  • Export V-Ray Proxy window now consistently provides the same output file name when being opened multiple times
  • Fixed an issue preventing V-Ray windows from closing when opening a new project file
  • Fixed an issue causing the Animation Frame sliders to disappear in specific situations
  • An issue causing the V-Ray UI to crash in rare situations is resolved
  • Added support for edge softening adjustments during Interactive rendering in Rhino 8
  • Added support for Rhino 8 Blend materials
  • Added access to the Sun creation window via the V-Ray toolbar’s Sun icon in Rhino 8
  • Added support for Rhino’s native Clipping Plane inclusion and exclusion list in Rhino 8. A migration for preexisting scenes is implemented to ensure synchronization between the V-Ray and Rhino lists
  • V-Ray properties tab no longer appears empty in Rhino 8.3
  • Unassigned materials from vrscene files are no longer imported via the V-Ray Scene Importer
  • An issue leading to material loss when importing a linked block with other nested blocks is resolved
  • IES lights contained within Cosmos assets now produce the same illumination after asset merge
  • An issue producing artifacts in subsurface scattering materials when adaptive lights are used is resolved
  • The Environment Background multiplier now affects Sky texture’s procedural clouds when rendered with V-Ray GPU
  • Rhino render resolution is now synchronized with V-Ray upon V-Ray activation
  • Grasshopper: Added viewport preview options for V-Ray Proxy Meshes, Proxy Scenes, and Cosmos Assets. The preview modes are: a simplified mesh, whole mesh, a bounding box or a point
  • Grasshopper: Instancer component plugged in an Infinite plane component is now considered for calculating the automatic Z Offset
  • Grasshopper: An issue causing data loss after upgrading Light Rig components from older versions is resolved
  • Grasshopper: Fixed an issue with incorrect Surface Scattering Slope Limitation and Slope Angles values in specific situations after upgrading Scatter components created with previous versions
  • Grasshopper: Fixed a crash when adding a Proxy Scene as a Scatter Guest
