Enhancements
- Update to Arnold 5.2.2 : The core version has been updated to 5.2.2, with improved photometric (IES) light sampling, hair shader anisotropy controls, and more; see the release notes . (352)
Incompatible Changes
- XGen multithreaded disabled : XGen is currently unstable when using multithreading, so the toggle is now removed and ignored on
ArnoldXGen
, and may be re-enabled at a later date when XGen handles internal multithreading better. Note that if you have multiple XGen procedural locations, that can also cause instability ifparallel_node_init
is turned on inArnoldGlobalSettings
, so if you experience crashes please turn that off as well. Finally, the XGen procedural in MtoA will be updated to guard against these crashes in the near future so thatparallel_node_init
does not need to be turned off. (353)
