Bug Fixes
[/HR]
V-Ray
- MultiMatte’s include/exclude lists are not considered in IPR
- tyFlow mesh only visible on first animation frame when using camera motion blur and DR
- Object visibility does not work on tyFlow objects
- Artifacts around stars with Bloom and Glare in lens Effects
- Copied meshes with modified normals export and render differently in V-Ray Standalone
- 3dsMax crash when updating Xref scene during IPR GPU DR session
- Copying V-Ray Gaussian Splat creates a broken copy
- Incorrect normals and lighting of tyCache particles in V-Ray Standalone
- DR2 | Crash when stopping the render directly after the server begins to render
- DR2 | The VRayClipper object itself is rendered when using “Use local host”
- Crash with any Anima Car + 4D Walking people when using IPR on frames above 0
- Wrong Zdepth element when opacity mapped objects are intersecting the Gaussian Splat bounding box
- Incorrect behavior of VRayProxy dockable rollouts in create mode
- VRayBitmap’s viewport preview does not update properly when previewing an animation
- Crash when trying to render with DR2 and a LightMix RE is present in the scene
- Crash with DR2 builds and V-Ray Profiler set on a location different than default
- The help button for GPU Color management in Render setup opens CPU Color management docs page
- USD-Promoted objects are overlapping with the initial geometry when rendered with Standalone
- Crash when render tyFlowt ySplines and tySplinesMesher geometry
- VRayPhysicalCamera’s focal length is rendered wrong with USD 0.11.0 and above
- Fireflies when using Secondary ray bias with textured lights on vrscene export
- Crash on undo operation with VRayIES, VRaySun light, VRayFur, and others when changing parameters
- VRayCryptomatte mask doesn’t work with Xref object and MultiSubObject materials
- Proxy visibility does not work with Distributed Rendering and transfer missing assets
- GPU motion blur does not work with tyFlow and animated mesh
- tyActor animation is not exported as sequence
- Extreme slowdown between frames when rendering tyCache with instanced geometry in it
- Wrong parameter field types in VRayDirt and VRayEdgesTex causing wrong results with import into a scene with different system units
- Wrong Inverse Gamma when converting non-linear images through the V-Ray Converter and 3ds Max Color Management set to OCIO default
- Mapping options of VRayEnvironmentFog shouldn’t be greyed out when switching to V-Ray GPU
- V-Ray Lister ‘Multiplier’ parameter is not syncing on multiple light selections when changing the ‘Units’ parameter
- Flickering with very small VRaySphereLight(s)
- Black circle in Night Sky when the VRaySky is positioned in a dome VRayLight with locked texture rotation to icon
- The moon draws on top of everything with Aerial Perspective active
