1.6.5.0

Features

  • DataWindowQuery : Added a new node for querying image data windows (#5637).

Improvements

  • Cube : Added divisions plug.

  • RenderMan : Added support for <attr:> substitutions in string shader parameters.

  • ImageReader : Improved default channelInterpretation mode when loading id and instanceID channels from multipart EXR files (#6678). The channels are now loaded in the main layer, instead of using the part name as the layer name. This makes multipart Arnold renders compatible with the ImageSelectionTool.

Fixes

  • NodeEditor, Viewer : Fixed bug that could cause unnecessary widget updates. In particular, this fixes flickering in the Viewer toolbar widgets when viewing the output of an InteractiveRender.

  • Viewer : Improved error handling when unable to create the requested renderer.

  • Inference : GPU device memory is now freed where possible after each computation.
