This version uses the Arnold 5.4.0.0 core, and it includes the beta version of Arnold GPU. See the Release Notes.
Note:
Important information about Arnold GPU (beta)
- Check the system requirements before using Arnold GPU. If you don't have a supported card or the required drivers , GPU rendering will not work.
- Review the list of supported features and known limitations before you start using Arnold GPU.
- If you have any technical problems, questions, or feedback on Arnold GPU, use the beta forum on Arnold Answers
Note:
Minimum required R20 version is now R20.057 . If you have an older version it can hang at startup when loading the plugin. Please update your Cinema 4D R20 in this case.
FEATURES
- Added isolate selected feature to the IPR window
- Added render text overlay settings
- Added clip_geo shader which clips out all geometry against the shapes it has been assigned to. Users can limit the objects that are affected with trace sets, and optionally choose a specific shader for the intersection surfaces. Self-intersecting geometry or intersecting clipping objects can cause artifacts.
- Added AOV read shaders which let you access built-in AOVs in the AOV shader context or custom AOVs in the regular shading context.
- Autodesk analytics program : Arnold can now optionally send anonymous statistics data back to Autodesk for analysis, which helps optimizing Arnold for the commonly used workflows and systems . For the moment this is only available for OSX and disabled by default (opted-out). This service can be enabled (opted-in) through the kick
-ADPflag, or through other Autodesk applications that support this, such as Maya and 3ds Max.
