Bug Fixes
10.2 Bug Fixes

• When adding a model to the library the bounding box is now only calculated based on the chosen model sets

• Alias Importer – Fixed issue where having multiple versions of Alias installed prevented .wire import

• Fixed issue where environment animations could not be copy-pasted

• Fixed an issue that would cause the Camera target to not update correctly on Camera switch events.

• Fixed issue where custom sun position settings can still be used when the sun & sky day arc animation is added

• Fixed an issue where PVZ import would occasionally fail

• Fixed issue where the user was not able to drag and drop a backplate on the backplate file path in environment settings

• Fixed issue where users could drag and drop a vdb file to the HDRI editor

• USD export now supports special characters

• Fixed incorrect import of opacity textures on fbx files

• Fixed issue where .fbx files crashed on import if they had incomplete UVs

• Fixed crash when previewing texture in material graph with a coated metal material present

• Fixed potential GPU memory leak

• Fixed possible Memory Leak in GPU rendering

• Fixed inconsistent brightness of caustics depending on model visibility when rendering on GPU

• Fixed issue where artifact appear in GPU mode

• Fix to make GPU caustics consistently bright for different ground plane sizes

• Fixed metallic flakes visibility in GPU mode

• Fixed issue where importing a model with a defined scale into a scene with an undefined scale resulting in wrong scaling of labels

• KeyShot Viewer – Fixed issue where the welcome window could be overlaid by a loading bar

• Fixed issue where transparency did not show correctly for some file formats in the texture library

• Queue rendering works correctly for external CAD pro licenses

• Network Rendering – Fixed SMTP authentication with certain mail servers

• Network Rendering – Fixed re-connection problems in NR Monitor

• Fix discrepancy indirect lighting calculations between CPU/GPU

• Fixed shift of texture center when using Part Center on objects with geometry shaders. It May have caused apparently random behavior of displacement

• Fixed crash that could occur when opening scene with studio events.

• Fixed an issue where duplicating model sets could cause a crash

• Fixed issue where opening scene with texture scale mode set to scene units would show as UV in UI

• Fixed issue: Pressing enter while editing text field would close dialog.

• Improvement in area light stability

• Fixed issue where objects in scene root were not transformed to fit scene units

• Improved error handling when importing files with animations

• Fixed issue where Move tool could be used from all mouse buttons

• Fixed issue where bubble materials are not supported in GPU mode.

• Fixed incorrect materials on Fuzz in background rendering.

• Fixed issue where environment image was sometimes not saved

• Fix potential hang when offline rendering faded objects on GPU

• Fixed render passes on the GPU with objects that should be invisible to the camera

• Fix loading 16 bit ppm files

• Fixed issue where collision detection was not taken into account when using keyframe animations

• Fix sporadic crash when toggling between CPU/GPU

• Creo View import API updated to version 17.1.

• Fixed crash when trying to bake of multi-layer optics materials with no layers

• Fixed crash in geometry nodes and gpu rendering when geometry would have less than two texture coordinates per vertex

• Fixed issue where KeyShot becomes unresponsive if Split Object Surfaces tool is used on RealCloth material

• Fix potential discrepancy between CPU/GPU with contour texture and toon materials

• Improved visual appearance for Velvet material in Interior mode

• The denoiser no longer prevents automatic pause from being triggered.

• Fix double environment light contribution when using ground illumination with faded objects in GPU mode

• Fixed issue where opacity maps on ground planes were incorrect in GPU mode

• Fixed issue where Switching to GPU mode while having a ground material with opacity on it will create strange lines

• Fixed issue where global illumination could be out of sync when changing environments

• Fixed an issue where a duplicated environment will not contain the original pins and folder names

• Fixed Collision Detection not working when moving a keyframe animated object

• Fixed frame count sometimes being wrong when extracting frames for video maps

• Fixed auto-update of NR Worker when having both CPU+GPU instances but CPU is paused.

• Fixed support for special characters inside exported glb and gltf files

• Fixed saving „Import cameras“ in import settings for all file types.

• Improved loading speed for Realcloth material

• Link duplicates setting is remembered correctly after a restart.

• Fixed issue where the header „Log in with your Luxion ID“ in dark mode was not respecting the theme

• Fixed issue where importing files with z-up axis could result in flipped cameras
