What's New ? Features and evolutions

• Engine :

  • The loading of geometries that are not in the OBJ format has been upgraded and is now much faster,

  • Some default values are now available for the camera PSF and Blooming,

  • The rayset lights can now be positionned relatively to the geometry they are assigned to,

  • The LightTools rayset format is now supported,

  • In addition to linear and photographic tone mapping, OCIO and Reinhard tone mapping are now supported,

  • When displaying an image in false color, new scales are available in addition to the existing log scale,

  • When fitting the Unity HDRI/Environment to the Predict environment, the intensity can now be defined separately to ensure a good lighting in both renderer,

• Matter :

  • The behaviour of light intensities defined using a rayfile has been updated to better fit the geometry it is applied to,

  • Mediums on dielectric materials can now be defined using a Gegenbauer phase function,

  • Materials metadatas management has been updated to ensure proper copy/paste/duplicate behaviour,

• Lab :

  • The new compositing tab is now available to combine and sum up images,

  • The image comparison tab has been reshaped : 

    • The interface has been rearranged to better identify each image settings,

    • It is now possible to define the file and the layer separately for each image to compare,

    • The operation mode has been removed, it is now included in the compositing tab,

    • The deltaE comparison now uses the DeltaE2000 instead of the DeltaE76.

  • It is now possible to export HDR images from Lab in the EXR format,

  • The blooming, PSF and flat field effects can now be applied in post process in Predict Lab,

  • In addition to linear tone mapping, OCIO, Reinhard and photographic tone mapping are now supported,

  • When displaying an image in false color, new scales are available in addition to the existing log scale,

  • The tooltip displayed in the top right corner of the image can now be customized,
