v0.5.4.2

0.5.4.2 is a hotfix for Render Settings > Camera Background with MoonRay's EnvLight. It changes only the kit: coming from 0.5.4.1, unpack just the kit ZIP over %APPDATA%\Luxology\Kits\MoonRayForModo. Coming from an earlier version, install the kit and the runtime (or drop the .lpk). The XPU2 shaders need no new compile after 0.5.4.

Fixes

  • Camera Background overrides MoonRay's EnvLight too: Black, Solid color or Image hid only Modo's environments from the camera, and an EnvLight still showed behind the scene. It is now hidden from the camera for the render, still lighting the scene and seen in reflections and refractions, in MoonRay XPU, XPU2 and MoonLightIPR.
  • Solid color and Image stay behind an EnvLight that replaces Modo's environments (as a new one does), where the background came out black.

0.5.4.1's fixes are here too: MoonLightIPR follows an environment's and a MoonRay light's visibility switches and renders solid colour backgrounds; realtime shows the buffer you look at; closing a scene switches RT off.

Known issues

  • Modo may crash as it quits with a Scene Proxy scene still open: Modo's own; your work and settings are kept.
  • A light with a cookie filter, or a glowing VDB, renders in MoonRay's slower scalar mode outside XPU2.
  • Several graphics cards and NUMA nodes are tested in simulation only, and Rhizome on one machine only.

Everything new in 0.5.4 (Rhizome, Modo's Processing textures, MoonLightIPR's AOVs and Render button) is in the 0.5.4 release and What's new in 0.5.

Install

Download the kit and the Windows runtime (and, for MoonRay's ten example scenes, the content ZIP), unpack them into one folder, and follow INSTALLATION.md. Windows and Modo 16.1v9; XPU and MoonLightIPR need an NVIDIA graphics card, and so does XPU2 unless set to the processor only. SHA256SUMS.txt lists each file's checksum.

Or drop MoonRayForModo-0.5.4.2.lpk onto a Modo viewport: the kit and the runtime in one file. Restart Modo when it asks. It leaves out the example scenes, which are in the content ZIP.
