Release Date
September 19 2014
This version uses Arnold 4.2.1.2
HIGHLIGHTED NEW FEATURES
- EXR overscan support.
- Improved sampling (textured quad lights, Cook-Torrance specular and refraction.
- Improved performance for shadow ray and rough glossy texture lookups.
INCOMPATIBLE CHANGES
- Difference in microfacet BTDFs: Rough refraction viewed at grazing angles or using Phong-smoothed normals renders slightly darker now, especially for high roughness values. This affects the standard shader and AiMicrofacetBTDFIntegrate(), and fixes a bug in the previous BTDF sampling.
