Round Corners

A new shader aiRoundCorners allows rendering of rounded edges at shading time, without having to subdivide the geometry.

Features

  • Out-of-the-box support for VDB sequences in aiVolume and image sequences in aiImage
  • Added support for sequences in Render Selection to Texture
  • Added Shader Motion Blur parameter to turn off motion blur on shader parameters
  • Support User Data in Override Sets
  • A new normal_map blending mode was added to the layer_rgba shader. This makes easier to create fine details and is more efficient than connecting multiple bump or normal mapping nodes.

Bugfixes

  • AOVs from references scenes used to be rendered even though they didn't appear in the AOVs list
  • Fix issues with instanced Standins
  • XGen Interactive Groom Splines: visibility wasn't properly supported
  • XGen : Instancing Xgen shapes wasn't supported properly
  • Fixed error when trying to add a new output driver to an AOV
