V-Ray 2.0 SP1 для 3ds Max 2012

Компания Chaos Group выпустило обновление рендерера Vray 2.10.01 с поддержкой Autodesk 3ds Max 2012. Исправлены многие ошибки и повышена стабильность версии.

Версия VRay 2.00.03 кроме поддержки 3ds Max 2012 (и Design версии) x32- и x64-bit имеет некоторые пофиксенные ошибки:

• Добавлен доступ к списку исключения в материале V-Ray material посредством MaxScript;
• Рендер сервер V-Ray RT выводит намного больше информации в режиме GPU (будет полезно для выявления ошибок);
• Добавлена поддержка четырех рендер элементов FumeFX;

Также ChaosGroup исправила:

• VRayHDRI могла не соответствовать установленному лимиту памяти (memory limit) для тайлящихся текстур (tiled textures);
• источники VRayLights, у которых были исключены объекты из освещения все равно могли влиять на GI этих объектов;
• медленные рендеринг, если в сцене много перекрывающихся примитивов VRayProxy;
• блики (hilights) от основного слоя отражений (base reflection layer) в материале VRayCarPaintMtl были темнее, чем должны;
• в случайном порядке пропадающие гизмо во время визуализации VRayEnvironmentFog;
• шум, когда была включена опция «Clamp output»;
• визуализация с GI могла использовать более детальную текстуру уровней mip-map, чем необходимо;
• V-Ray RT: когда используется в качестве production renderer, то игнорировалась анимация деформирующих объектов (deforming objects);
• V-Ray RT: объекты могли исчезать при анимации.
