0.57.1.0

Features

  • ClosestPointSampler : Added a new node for sampling primitive variables from the closest point on a source primitive.

  • CurveSampler : Added a new node for sampling primitive variables from parametric positions on some source curves.

  • ArnoldColorManager : Added a new node for specifying the colour manager for use in Arnold renders (#3523).

  • Viewer : Added overlay to Image views to control interactive renders where available (#3419).

Improvements

  • Spreadsheet : Added a popup menu item for promoting spreadsheet plugs.

  • InteractiveRender : Improved presentation of render control buttons (#3419).

Fixes

  • Spreadsheet : Fixed pattern matching bugs when using ${scene:path} as the selector. In this case, * no longer matches /, and ... is now supported.

  • TranslateTool : Fixed problems translating an object with a downstream AimConstraint applied.

  • Instancer : Fixed crashes caused by attempts to instance onto a location without a primitive (#3715).

  • Script Settings :

    • Fixed errors showing the popup menu for the frameRange plug.

    • Fixed Spreadsheet menu items.

  • UI : Fixed appearance of button icons when disabled.

  • FilterResults : Fixed the UI to show the connected filter instead of a meaningless numeric value. This also avoids triggering spurious errors on PathFilter nodes.

  • Viewer :

    • Fixed crash displaying and/or manipulating objects with zero scale transform components.

    • Fixed EditScope menu to include scopes nested inside Boxes.

    • Fixed EditScope menu button so it updates when the EditScope is renamed.

  • NodeAlgo : Fixed bugs that prevented visitation of nodes nested inside Boxes.

  • ColorSwatch : Fixed highlighted appearance (#3735).

API

  • PrimitiveSampler : Added a new base class for nodes which sample primitive variables using an IECoreScene::PrimitiveEvaluator.

  • Arnold Renderer : Added support for an ai:color_manager option.
