finalRender R3 Service Pack 1 Released

What's New in SP1

finalRender R3 and R3 SE SP1 Enhancements

• Physical Sky Texture map; an offset to the map has been reported and is now fixed, appearing with a visible physical sun in different map slots.

• fR-Scatter had some reported issues with offsets from its base surface; these are now amended.

• fR-Scatter in rare situations a crash was reported; this case has been isolated and now resolved.

• finalRender's core accelerator engine (MSP) could have showed some intersection problems. They have been isolated and repaired in this release.

• finalRender's core accelerator engine (MSP) has improved precision now and performs with greater stability in GI, Raytracing and other secondary effects.

• finalRender's high performance MTD core showed some reported crashes on complex displacement setups. The issue has been isolated and resolved now.

• Using finalRender's Scanline rendering accelerator could have resulted in crash situations when complex Multi-Sub materials were used. This problem has been isolated and is now corrected.

• In some situations the Scanline rendering accelerator could have resulted in a crash with motion blur. The pflags are now amended, (as the array was too small sometimes).

• fR-Wire material used along with the Scanline renderer accelerator is now aware of Multi-Sub material structures.

• Instanced geometry is now working properly with Sub Surface Scattering.

• fR-Light material may have shown artifacts in some situations; these have been isolated and the problem fixed for this release of finalRender.

• Extremely long object names could have resulted in a crash; this problem has been isolated and now fixed.

• finalRender's advanced Render Elements could have caused instability in rare situations; these have been isolated and the problem resolved in this relase of finalRender.

• fR-Material RE showed some instability in rare situations; this has been amended in this release.

• Dome light view port material is now updated for reflections or in the rendered image.

• fR-Wire works now with Scanline rendering accelerator and GI.

• fR-Wire supports now Scanline rendering accelerator along with fR-Layer.

• fR-Light material and animated meshes are now working as expected.

• finalRender's AQMC GI engine could have shown some issues with instanced objects and solution files; this problem has been isolated and amended in this release.

finalToon R3 SP1 Enhancements

• finalToon's high performance line render engine has now added support for detecting line styles for any Multi-Sub material.

• finalToon's hatching map has now increased precision to avoid possible instabilities.

• Several line styles could have shown flickering; this problem has been amended in this release of finalToon R3.

• finalToon's line renderer algorithm could have shown missing or broken lines; this problem has now been fixed.

• fT-Outline material now supports Multi-Sub material trees.

• finalToon's advanced hatching algorithm showed some instability; the issue has been isolated and resolved in this release.

• finalToon's advanced hatching algorithm could show wrong alpha values; this issue has been isolated and corrected in this release of finalToon.

• finalTooon's advanced hatching texture map properly supports all tiling options that are available in 3ds Max.
