Features

• 3Delight : Added "3Delight Cloud" renderer, for rendering using the 3Delight cloud.

  • Updated the UI of Cycles shaders and lights for ease of use and to match Blender conventions.
  • Hide certain parameters based on UI selections.
  • Renamed and reordered parameters and created sections to match Blender.
  • Changed all the Cycles items in the Gaffer tab menu to title case.

Fixes

• Arnold :
  • Fixed rendering of ai:volume shaders loaded from USD (Add ai:volume support for VDBs(USD) #5830).
