  • Fixed a bug that excluded right and bottom edges of a region when rendering with Render View region box.
  • Fixed a bug where displacement shaders were not applied when inside a shader graph rooted at RS Ray Switch Material or RS Store Color To AOV.

  • Volume grids scattered by Forest Pack now show correct bounding boxes in the viewport.
  • Added log messages to assist with finding spurious IPR refreshes.

For Cinema 4D:

  • Addressed an issue where deleting an object referenced as a custom particle object would not always update the object distribution.
  • Addressed an issue where an incorrect RenderView color scheme was used under certain conditions.
