New Build (315)

[Roy Hirshkowitz]

• Added support for e4 on the render farm (updated the farm as well to 315).
• Made e4 an "official" choice in the interface under Lighting->Advanced. -- choices are e0 (Standard), e1 (Path Tracer), and e4 (Hybrid).
• I now pass a frame number to RPCs during animation.  This should make animated RPCs such as fountains work, but it's completely untested.  Let me know if it isn't working.

How does the RPC part work?

[Roy Hirshkowitz]

Not sure what you mean.  Just run an animation-- they should work.

Hi Roy, since a little time, I noticed some strange shadows in the water of my pools when I wanted some caustic with the Engine 1. So I did some comparisons and here is what I obtain. Do you know what is happening with the caustic in the Engine1 ? (water is a simple face tagged as "caustic" and not "thin"). (Perhaps do I have to open a new thread)

[Marc Chaumier]

Here is the dwg, for you, and those who want a water material...

[Roy Hirshkowitz]

Yes-- it should be in a separate thread.  Looks like a bug.

Check the build number for me (Help->About).  I'll try the 32 bit build this morning-- something may have happened.

[Roy Hirshkowitz]

I found the problem with the build.  It's an r17 problem so it effects Acad 2007-2009.  I'll have a new build shortly.

[Roy Hirshkowitz]

There's a new build up which should fix the problem.

Ich habe auch mal getestest. So sieht mein Ergebnis aus nach 1500 pases.

Einstellung war Hybrid. Sieht schon gut aus.

I think that in certain cases I still prefer Path Tracer: the transparency is much more realistic (close to real object) than in e4. But darks are much better in e4.
