06/04/2010 - Maya plug-in updates :: Release notes v.2.0.36
Changes
- Added a shelf button which exports the scene and sends it to the Maxwell Render network system.
- The location of the MXI file can now be specified in the render options.
- Added batch rendering command line flags for all the 2.0 channels and for specifying the MXS and MXI paths.
- Added a control in the plug-in settings window for the maximum texture resolution used in the viewport.
- The resolution of the viewport preview texture can now be overridden at the material level.
- Removed unsupported image formats from the dropdown in the render options panel and added EXR, HDR and JP2.
- Added Maxwell Render attributes to the RFRK object (hide from camera etc.).
- When the AE is displayed for a RFRK node, it has additional tabs for its transform and material nodes, just like regular meshes.
- Updated the AGS wizard to match MXED.
- Vertices with invalid positions are filtered out because the renderer aborts when they are present.
Fixes
- Fixed: crash when trying to display textures larger than half the maximum resolution supported by the video card.
- Fixed: mirrored objects with Maxwell materials on them were black in the viewport.
- Fixed: the output image path was reset to MAXWELL2_ROOT/default.png when the user specified a bit depth that was not supported for the current image format.
- Fixed: crash when trying to load an inexistent EXR file as a texture or in the render view.
- Fixed: displacement was not exported if the first layer in the material was disabled.
- Fixed: the LOD control of the instancer node did not function correctly.
