• Changing materials with GPU Fire on instances can mess material assignations.

Known Issues

• 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 other situations).

• Downloading gallery materials to a blank scene with default settings did not work.

Improvements

Fixes
