• [Houdini] Added support for UV maps with two components only
• [Houdini] Addressed the IPR updating of the default headlight position after any camera transformation
• [Houdini] Fixed bug that could cause a cameras flickering problem in the RenderView while working in the "Any Camera Viewport" update mode
• [Houdini] Fixed bug that could cause Warning messages while instancing OpenVDB files using the instancefile workflow
• [Houdini] Improved IPR fps performance when the "Export View Continuously" option is enabled
• [Houdini] Improved GUI and IPR performance in the HDA and subnets exposed material parameters
• [Houdini] Improved Viewport IPR GUI
• [Hydra] Added support for Solaris 19.5.773, 19.5.805 and 20.0.506 and dropped support for 19.5.682 and 19.5.716
• [Hydra] Added support for the REDSHIFT_ENABLE_SOLARIS_PICKING env. variable to disable the viewport picking feature
• [Hydra] Trace depth options exposed in the Solaris viewport settings
• [Hydra] Addressed the missing options in the AOVs secondary ray visibility parameter
• [Hydra] Addressed a problem with several render settings, like BlockSize or SubsurfaceScatteringRate
• [Hydra] Addressed a problem in the Solaris Edit Material LOP while importing RS OSL nodes
• [Hydra] Fixed bug that could cause a problem in the instances velocity motion blur if multiple prototypes are selected
• [Hydra] Fixed bug that could cause a problem with the "Affected By Refraction" light param default value
• [Hydra] Fixed bug that could cause black viewport render in Solaris 20.0
• [Hydra] Fixed bug in the Solaris 20.0 default light intensity
• [USD Procedural] Added support for USD 23.08
• [Katana] Added support for Katana 7.0v1 and dropped support for Katana 4.0
• [Katana] Added support for instance arrays pointing to "instance" type locations
• [Katana] Added support for "usd point instancer" locations
• [Katana] Fixed bug that could cause a problem with the RT renderer in live mode
• [HIP] Fixed a bug where the curvature node would produce incorrect results on HIP devices
• [HIP] Fixed a bug where subsurface scattering would produce incorrect brightness on HIP devices
• [CPU] Fixed a bug causing mouse lag using multiple instances of Maya
• [CPU] Fixed a bug where Cinema 4D UI was blocking when running Maya 2024
• [CPU] Fixed a bug causing 100% CPU usage on the main thread
• [RT] Added DLSS and exposed several performance options
• [RT] Added preview rendering, decreases RT startup time by rendering with simpler materials while shaders are compiled
• [RT] Added texture compression and streaming, allowing RT to render VRAM heavy scenes
• [All] Added RT-specific render settings UI to all DCC plugins
• [All] Fixed a bug that would cause a horizontal artifact in volumes when volume trace depth is greater than 1
• [All] Fixed a bug that would cause banding in refraction with a ramp on refraction color
• [All] Fixed a bug where using hardware accelerated ray-tracing caused different tessellation results when using camera space rendering
• [All] Fixed a recently introduced material pre-processing inefficiency, which would hamper scenes with many like materials
• [All] Fixed a bug where sphere meshes with a diffuse material would show artifacts when used in combination with area lights
• [All] Fixed a bug where using brick shader caused artifacts in Irradiance Cache mode
