Rendering

Textures

  • Support for Bercon tiles texture.

Animation editor

Auto-exposure



Modified

UX/UI

  • Improved the 'Update textures and meshes for current frame' button - now it is a toggle and when enabled automatically updates meshes and animated textures in the interactive viewport, when playback is not active.

  • Rearranged the rollouts in the Environment tab UI. Renamed Environment rollout to Sky, Cloud settings rollout to Clouds, Sun light rollout to Sun.

  • Moved Sky model settings from Sun rollout to Sky rollout, visible only when Environment mode is Physical sky.

  • The render progress dialog is now movable.

Performance

  • Improved memory usage when using a single GPU (around 30MB per megapixel) to not use double buffering.

Scene states

  • Renamed '<chosen scene state>' to '<current scene state>' in sequence rendering, keeping current changes during the offline rendering.

  • Added a SAVED SCENE state, updated on each "Save scene" or "Save Scene As..." action, preventing the previous accumulation of Auto Saved sub-states.

  • Improved the 'Create scene state' button - now it automatically creates all necessary sub-states where needed and is added in the top toolbar.

  • Renamed the 'DEFAULT' scene state to be 'ORIGINAL SCENE'

Output

  • Improved the output filename when Render elements are enabled in sequence rendering to be better recognized by external applications. 

Gizmos

  • Improved the rendering of the navigation and placement helper objects.
