  • Formatting was changed.

...

  • NSI: improved initialization performance.
  • NSI: added support for inter-object visibility. This features is a generalization of such features as Light Linking.
  • NSI: improved live render performance snapy-ness.
  • NSI: robustness fix in Python binding: SetAttribute can now receive 0x0 data for string parameters (will be considered as empty).
  • Fixed a potential crash bug in 3Delight statistics. Also fixed a memory leak in the same area.

...

  • NSI: added particles node support. As per the specifications, this node allow rendering of tiny particles.
  • NSI: added support for all visibility attributes.
  • NSI: improved documentation formatting.

12.0.139 - 2017-03-03

  • Changed naming of channels in exr layer which is geometric data (point, vector or normal) to more compatible R, G and B instead of the more descriptive x, y and z.
  • NSI: curves can now support deformation blur.
  • NSI: curves can be specified as a b-spline, in addition to the already supported catmull-rom basis.
  • NSI: update particles node documentation.

12.0.138 - 2017-02-28

12.0.137 - 2017-02-23

  • NSI: slight improvement in memory consumption for geometric primitives.
  • NSI: full support for OSL displacement shaders. Note that displacement shaders are run in object space.
  • NSI: update nsi.pdf manual.
  • NSI: NSIDisconnect() now accepts a ".all" first parameter for mass connections deletion.
  • NSI: transformation edits (live render) are now supported on objects.
  • NSI: add a ".global" node for global scene configurations/settings (refer to manual).
  • NSI: enable memory statistic in NSI renders.
  • NSI: fixed a memory leak.
  • NSI: updating Lua interface to accept geometry attributes.
  • NSI: fixed a bug in NSIDeleteAttribute().
  • renderdl can now execute Lua scene descriptions directly using the '-lua' command line argument.
  • 3Delight for Katana:
    • Handle material assignments live updates
    • Export ID pass for Katana monitor
    • Re-worked the DlSettings dialog

12.0.136 - 2017-02-10

  • NSI: embryonic support for OSL displacement shaders.
  • 3Delight for Katana:
    • Enable live update of light material
    • Enable live material updates
    • Export rigs as NSI sets for grouping of lights (Multi-Light feature ported to NSI)

12.0.135 - 2017-02-09

  • NSI: fixed a problem which cause some textures not to load at all.
  • NSI: fixed issues with back facing geometry. This also fixes OSL's calculatenormal() shadeop in NSI's context. 
  • NSI: added a "sortkey" attribute to the output layer node to enable layer sorting in an output driver.
  • NSI: changed camera handedness to better conform to most VFX packages.  The camera now looks towards -Z (right handed).
  • Can send normal channels exr and deepexr in the same file.
  • 3Delight is now 5 to 10% faster on linux.
  • 3Delight for Katana:
    • Camera now move in live render
    • Removed Image Resolution and Camera in DlSettings (redundant)
    • Introducing DlObjectSettings
