🔨 Baking process has been revamped to avoid artifacts previously caused by Cage and Ray Trace projection methods.
🔨 USD file format is now used for geometry exchange between 3ds Max and the DCC Importer main process, keeping the scene structure.
🔨 Normal maps are now only baked when strictly necessary.
🔨 Multi-Material clean up and simplification has been revamped.
🔨 The materials Advanced_Lighting_Override and MaterialSwitcher will now be replaced by their child materials.
🔨 Recommended versions of several dependencies have been updated; check the README for details.
🔨 The folder for the virtual environments of the application have been renamed to '.venv'.
🔨 Revamped environment configuration file generation.
🔨 Adjustments have been made to several log messages.
⚡ Fixed missing IOR value when converting Physical Materials and its derivates to VRayMtl.
⚡ Fixed issues during material simplification, e.g. the effect of curve-based color mapping is now taken into account for certain input maps such as Falloff.
⚡ Fixed issues with non-contiguous image arrays in OpenImageIO.
⚡ Fixed issues with 2-channel images in OpenImageIO.
⛔ The OLEFile Python dependency has been removed.
For more information, see the reference documentation for RapidPipeline DCC Importer.
✨ The CLI will now display build date and commit short hash for easier debugging.
🔨 When applicable, the CLI code package expiration date will be displayed upon starting an execution.
🔨 When the code package expiration date is within under 14 days, a warning recommending the user to contact support will be displayed.
🔨 Adjustments have been made to the error displayed when the CLI code package has expired.
For more information, see the reference documentation for RapidPipeline DCC Importer.
🔨 Adjusted the Python dependencies build process to avoid requiring install time Visual Studio compiler dependencies.
