Maxwell Render
Fixes
Crash rendering with spot/IES emitters in OSX.
Random procedural textures had symmetry on tiling.
Improvements
Random procedural textures are faster
Known Issues
Wrong data issues with TIFF images and LZW compression in Linux platforms (including Maxwell Cloud nodes).
Maxwell GPU
Fixes
Crash when consecutive renders with different resolutions are done with multi-GPU.
Changing materials with GPU Fire on instances can mess material assignations.
Known Issues
Dielectrics materials don’t behave as intended in some scenes.
Some channels (alpha, material, object, position, z-buffer) may show artifacts.
Maxwell Studio
Changes
Mathematical expressions in numeric fields disabled in OSX (related to Crash on UI numeric fields in OSX).
Fixes
Crash on UI numeric fields in OSX (this caused crashes when minimizing some panels and in different situations).
Downloading gallery materials to a blank scene with default settings did not work.
Improvements
When you open a .mxs file in Studio, it warned about not finding any texture or referenced material, but not if it didn´t find a referenced .mxs file, now it will.
Material Editor (standalone)
Changes
Mathematical expressions in numeric fields disabled in OSX (related to Crash on UI numeric fields in OSX).
Fixes
Crash on UI numeric fields in OSX.
Maxwell Network
Changes
Now, when stopping cloud renders, it warns the user about renders that haven’t started yet, instead of renders that haven’t produced images yet, as it generates the final image after stopping the render.
Fixes
Monitor could not download Maxwell Cloud results with the “#” character in the file names.
Python Editor
Fixes
Pymaxwell python module help didn’t work until the pymaxwell module is loaded by script.
SDK
Fixes
Python. pymaxwell5 function “runMaxwell” runs Maxwell 4 (if installed).
