Table with important changes that happened in particular revision:
Revision | Changes |
---|---|
25819 | Added support for 'instance source' and 'instance' location types. |
25842 | Added initial support for Live rendering in Katana 2.0. RT CPU only at the moment. Support for editing material parameters. Support for moving lights and editing their parameters. |
25865 | Builds made with clang 3.4 compiler are available. These builds work out of the box in all supported Katana versions. The main benefit for the users is better rendering performance (10-30%). |

25943 | Added support for ID Pass. This makes it possible to select objects in the Scenegraph from the Monitor tab. |
26104 | Rendering Deep OpenEXR when there are other AOVs/RenderElements in the scene doesn't break Disk renders anymore. |
26331 | Added support for script, prescript and none types in the RenderOutputDefine node. Better handling of AOVs/RenderElements when doing disk renders. |
26419 | Added VrayFur node, which allows growing fur over polymesh and subdmesh locations. Driving various parameters with textures is possible. There is no preview in the viewer. |
26553 | Added support for VRayVolumeGrid. |
26580 | Fixed some issues related to motion blur and instance source and instance locations. |
26669 | Added support for geometry.arbitrary attributes for curves locations. |
