Features

  • MeshSegments : Added a node for identifying faces in contiguous segments. 1

Improvements

  • Viewer : If Arnold is available, then it is preferred over Appleseed for performing OSL shader previews. If neither is available, then Cycles will be used (#5084).
  • FormatPlugValueWidget, ChannelPlugValueWidget, ChannelMaskPlugValueWidget, RGBAChannelsPlugValueWidget, ViewPlugValueWidget : Added support for showing multiple plugs at once, as needed when multiple Spreadsheet cells are selected for editing.
  • Spreadsheet : Improved display of image formats.
  • USD : 1
    • Added support for Arnold-USD's convention for representing connections to individual indices of an array.
    • Added loading of float4 USD shader parameters as Color4 parameters in Gaffer.

Fixes

  • Viewer : Fixed bug which made it impossible to switch back to a previously used display transform 1.
  • Cycles : Disabled auto-tiling mode for the viewport/interactive render mode, which caused odd/glitchy behaviour on larger than 2k renders 1.
  • Arnold : The ai:GI_diffuse_depth and ai:GI_specular_depth options now default to 2 when they are left unspecified, matching the default values on the ArnoldOptions node.
  • Menu buttons : Fixed missing dropdown menu indicators.
  • CompoundNumericPlugValueWidget : Fixed failure to construct with an empty list of plugs.
  • ChannelPlugValueWidget : Fixed compatibility with multi-view images.
  • FilteredSceneProcessor :
    • Fixed bugs which allowed read-only nodes to be edited.
    • Fixed undo for Remove menu item in Filter tab.
  • 3Delight : Fixed bug preventing 3delight from loading on Windows. (#5081). This also caused errors in the light editor at startup : IECore.Exception: File "maya/osl/pointLight" could not be found. 2
  • NodeEditor : Fixed bugs in handling of "green dot" non-default-value indicators with nested plugs.
  • GUI App : Fixed error on Windows when launching the gui app after a previous launch loaded a script with \ in the path. 2
  • HierarchyView : Fixed P and N editor focus hotkeys 1.

API

  • PlugAlgo : Added findDestination() utility method.

Breaking Changes
