VUE, PlantFactory and PlantCatalog Exporter R5 build 5003965
Release date: Hotfix: August 10, 2020
VUE
[NEW] [MacOS] Added Integration plugin for Cinema4D R21 and S22.
[NEW] [MacOS] Added Integration plugin for Maya 2020.
[Cinema 4D] Fixed a potential crash when reloading old scenes.
[3DS Max] Fixed the display of real-world terrains in 3DS Max viewport (mirrored texture map).
[MacOS 10.15] Fix display of e-on windows and opengl areas in C4D R21+ and Maya 2019+ in macOS 10.15 (also macOS 10.14 for Maya 2020)
[Alembic] Fixed a potential crash when exporting an EcoSystem to Alembic, when exporting texture maps beside the .abc file (new option from R5).
Fixed a potential crash when trying to export a spline with no geometry, using option to *convert* existing maps.
Updated OpenEXR to version to 2.2.2
Keep original picture gamma after automatic reloading.
Add missing picture type info when auto loading side channels.
[Images] Fixed crashes when reading 4bits-per-pixel grayscale PNGs.
[Images] Fixed reading PNGs with a palette and a transparency chunk.
[Images] When loading content or scenes referencing missing pictures, the folders selected by the user for the first(s) missing pictures should be used as hints for the next ones, to speed up the process, but instead in X1R3 it kept asking again and again, and since X1R4 it would even silently fail to load missing pictures without any warning to the user!
[NEW] Massively reduced the memory usage during render, for EcoSystems using SolidGrowth species.
[Infinite Terrains] Avoid continuous updates of infinite terrains position.
[Terrain/Displacement] Fixed potential crashes when using displacement on a Heightfield where width is inferior to height!
Fixed a potential memory leak in Atmosphere Preview thread.
[3D DISPLAY] [ShaderEngine] Fixed lack of transparency in 3D viewports when using shader4 OpenGL engine.
[ATMOSHPERE] Ignore "ignore atmosphere on map" setting when environment map is disabled.
[DISPLACEMENT] [Metablobs] Avoid losing all displacement mapping when animating a MetaBlob.
[INSTALLATION] Fixed installation and upgrade on some filesystems where trying to change file ownership is an error, like Apple's network storage protocol used on some NAS.
[MISC] Fixed potentially invisible or broken pre-animated meshes (example: Elf models provided with new C3D batch) - regression introduced in R5.
[MISC] Fixed potential errors when reading scenes using Turbo Smooth Subdivision.
[MISC] [curl] Upgrade to version 7.70 (from 7.68).
[MISC] [CrashSender/macOS] Wait up to 3 minutes (instead of 1) for the crash data to be generated as long waiting times have been witnessed and most crash reports thus seem to be lost on MacOS.
[NETWORK RENDERING] Fixed potential connection issues when adding a node by its IP address, and added logs.
[PATHTRACER] [Splines/GeometryEffect] Fix texture mapping of Splines' Geometry Effect meshes when rendered in the PathTracer.
[RENDERING] Fixed inconsistent results (in terms of render times and quality) when loading pre-defined preset files (Preview.urs, Final.urs, etc.)
[TERRAIN] Fixed errors during loading of 3 presets from the 'Infinite Terrains' collection.
[UI/UX] [macOS 10.15/All] Fixed display of tooltips.
