V-Ray 6, Update 2, hotfix 2 (6.20.02)

Official release

Date - Jan 24, 2024

Improvements & bugfixes

• Adaptivity Clamp control is introduced in the Render Parameters' Optimizations section. The default value of 1.5 avoids excessive sampling of overexposed areas while a value of 100 disables this optimization
• ‘Viewport Texture Resolution’ option is implemented (Extensions > V-Ray > Preferences > Viewport Texture Resolution). It controls the size of all viewport texture previews of materials using the Bake binding mode
• Bake Binding Texture Mode is now enabled by default for newly created materials
• Fixed an issue with the V-Ray File Path Editor causing baked textures to lose their names and fail to render properly
• An issue preventing the V-Ray File Path Editor from archiving Raw Bitmap Buffer textures is resolved
• Scatter tool information is now displayed in the SketchUp Instructor tray and status bar
• Scatter Area Modifiers are now inactive when using '1D - On Splines' scattering mode to reflect that they have no effect on it
• Scatter's 'Normal Alignment' rotation option now accepts negative values. As a result Scatter instances can be aligned towards the vertical down (-Z) axis
• Scatter's UV Grid surface mode no longer ignores the size of the host’s group or component material

• Fixed an issue preventing the update of Scatter asset's Guest list after deleting and reapplying a component as a guest twice in a row
• Fixed a crash caused by undoing and redoing the creation of a Scatter asset with enabled Scatter Viewport preview
• Added a 'Submit New' button to the Chaos Cloud window. Submitting consecutiveCloud rendering jobs is now possible without having to close and reopen the window each time
