Enhancements
–OpenPBR Surface specification used for viewport shading– The viewport representation of the aiOpenPBRSurface node now uses the OpenPBR Surface specification to represent the shading (MTOA-2038)
–OpenPBR improvements
.View-dependent coat absorption:The coat lobe now more accurately models the absorption tinting at grazing angles, producing a slightly more realistic look. (ARNOLD-15377)
Close
–SSS color matching:The SSS model has been tuned to ensure that the color of dense SSS more closely matches the supplied subsurface_color, as required by the OpenPBR specification. (ARNOLD-15328)
Close
–Scaling of emission luminance from nits to Arnold units:nits_per_unit was added to the options node, and OpenPBR Surface’s emission_luminance (in nits) is internally scaled down by this nits_per_unit value (defaulting to 1000) to bring it into Arnold units. This ensures that the default soft-maximum of emission_luminance of 1000 nits corresponds to the former behavior of Standard Surface at emission 1. (ARNOLD-15364)
–Faster startup times on GPU:We have made several optimizations to improve startup and scene update time on GPU. These improvements will be most noticeable on scenes with many objects. Startup times on Windows are also now on par with startup times on Linux. On a scene with 1 million instances, we see the following improvements when compared to the previous release. (ARNOLD-15271, ARNOLD-15279, ARNOLD-15310)
Close
–Handle update for OSL shader changes:Information about shaders linked to an OSL shader is stored when using interactive render mode, so that any change in those shaders will cause the OSL shader to be automatically updated. (ARNOLD-14983)
–Duplicate node name warnings:Warnings are emitted when adding a node with a name that already exists or renaming an existing node to an empty string. (ARNOLD-12596)
Bug Fixes
– MTOA-2043 – Hangs and crashes when adding/deleting duplicated standins
– MTOA-2039 – Arnold Viewport Render does not update on camera change.
– ARNOLD-14735 – OIDN denoiser bucket artifacts during negative-AA progressive passes
– ARNOLD-15380 – [GPU] small memory leak when using AOV shaders
– ARNOLD-15384 – [GPU] memory leak each time an OSL shader is modified
– ARNOLD-15385 – Crash on standard_volume when modifying material interactively
– ARNOLD-15392 – [GPU] small memory leak when using OSL shaders
Arnoldis a physically-based, photo-realistic rendering tool that utilizes ray tracing techniques to produce high-quality renders for CG and VFX animation.Ray tracing is a mathematical algorithm (based on the Monte Carlo Path Tracing equation) that creates an image by projecting rays into a scene, reflecting them off surfaces and toward light sources to approximate the color value of pixels. Arnold utilizes computer hardware resources such as memory, multiple processor cores, and disk space to accomplish these tasks.
Arnold for Mayawas first conceived in Spain and coded by Marcos Fajardo, who co-developed it in collaboration with Sony Pictures Imageworks. Years after its creation, the well-known company Autodesk acquired the Arnold renderer in 2016. Since then, the software tool has evolved to function with different render engines and CAD software. Without Arnold, Maya was only capable of utilizing a single processor core at a time. This is why Arnold stands out as one of the fastest rendering tools available.
