Redshift 3.5.18

Note the fixes listed below are included in 3.5.19 as well. This version was solely released within C4D and is not available for download via the Maxon App.

• [Maya] Fixed support for Maya 2024/macOS on Apple Silicon hardware

• [Max] Added support for global optical camera parameters

• [Max] Fixed incorrect tone mapping defaults in optical camera parameters

• [C4D] Fixed bug that would cause procedural projections to get lost after rendering shaderballs

• [C4D] Added experimental support for automatically converting cloners with instances/multi-instances of meshes or proxies to point-clouds, improving performance and interactivity for scenes with a large number of clones

• [C4D] Changed the default export units; new scenes will now default to centimeters and the Legacy Units option will be disabled

• [C4D] Addressed issue that prevented the batch conversion of C4D Standard materials to Redshift materials

• [C4D] Addressed issue where switching between Basic and Advanced render options would trigger an IPR restart

• [C4D] Addressed issue where a camera-map procedural projection would produce incorrect results if the linked camera had a film offset

• [C4D] Addressed a crash when extracting Pyro volumes with a very large number of voxels

• [C4D] Addressed a rare deadlock when opening a scene with proxies with their geometry previews enabled

• [Houdini] Added support for Houdini 19.5.682 and dropped support for 19.5.569

• [Houdini] Added support for the resolution override options while batch rendering using hrender.py

• [Houdini] Added support for rendering Packed Alembic primitives as Redshift Alembic procedurals

• [Houdini] New option in the RS ROP node to configure the Alembic procedural working mode (Alembic SOP or Packed Alembics)

• [Houdini] Support of the "time" and "fps" primitive attributes to configure the RS Alembic procedural time and fps parameters

• [Houdini] Addressed the default light position updating in scenes with animated cameras

• [Houdini] Fixed a problem in the RenderView color picker

• [Hydra] Added support for Solaris 19.5.682 and dropped support for 19.5.569

• [Hydra] Added support for assets picking in the Solaris viewport

• [Hydra] Added support for color temperature as a multiplier to the textured lights

• [Hydra] Added new params to the RS SunSky light to override some of the sky environment settings

• [Hydra] Addressed the default value of the optical camera saturation parameters

• [Hydra] Fixed several issues in the Scene Import LOP scripts affecting the RS lights

• [Hydra] Fixed a problem in the camera map node while using a projection camera

• [Katana] Added support for light instancing using instance sources or instance arrays

• [Katana] New option in the RedshiftObjectSettings node to configure the light instances shader type

• [Katana] Added support for lights instancing "light_color", "light_temperature" and "light_intensity" arbitrary attributes

• [Blender] Fixed RS Ramp node update changes issue in IPR mode

• [Blender] Added support for User Data Attributes

• [Blender] Added basic support for Jitter node (only 'ObjectID' mode is working for now)

• [Alembic Procedural] Fixed a crash if the abc file is not ready for reading

• [Alembic Procedural] Added support for the replacement of the alembic assets local transformations

• [All] Added system requirement for CPU with AVX2 support

• [All] Updated version of Intel Embree to 4.1.0

• [All] Added support for nested projection nodes; existing scenes can look different if multiple projection nodes were used in the same material

• [All] Distorter shader: Added support for world and object space distortion; existing scenes can look different, if distorter input was in world or object space

• [All] Extended MatCap shader with scale, rotation and coordinate space parameters

• [All] Fixed bug introduced in version 3.5.16 that would prevent proxies from being compatible between Linux/MacOS and Windows platforms

• [All] Fixed brick shader not using the alternative color on Vega GPUs

• [All] Fixed OSL bug that could cause a compile error when using the trace() function

• [All] Fixed old bug that could cause instanced point cloud sphere primitives to have incorrect normals
