Na to wygląda.

169 nowości/zmian/napraw - nice!

 

(*) VRayProxy: Added Show whole mesh viewport display option;

A to nie było tego?

 

(*) V-Ray: Reduced light cache leaks through a new parameter "Leak prevention";

Brzmi jak "czasem działa" ;)

(*) VRayProxy: Added Show whole mesh viewport display option;

A to nie było tego?

 

Byla możliwość importu mesha z proxy do sceny, ale nie wyświetlania jako whole mesh. Ta nowa opcja może sie przydac do przy tweekowaniu materiałów.

 

Brzmi jak "czasem działa" ;)

True. Może po prostu napisali cos lepszego niz retrace treshold, co jednak nadal nie działa zawsze.

Już troche za duzo tych opcji od leakujących LC.

Dobra wersja. Szczególnie cieszy ilość zmian w RT.

 

Beta-testowałem już SP2 od dłuższego czasu i szybkość z jaką Vlado i support reagują na wszelkie zgłoszenia jest na prawdę godna podziwu.

Najciekawsze jak na razie co wpadło mi w oko to dodawanie/ujmowanie nodów w trakcie renderowania.
