Here's a small changes log:
- Some mat editor fixes & extensions
- Wrapping for procedural textures (if you uncheck this option then the
procedural will use global instead of local coordinates)
- New shininess definition:
FinalShininess=Shininess*ShininessMap(X)+1 for phong
FinalShininess=Shininess*ShininessMap(X) for ashikhmin
- Artifacts in instancing fixed
- Clay rendering crashes in multithreading
- Bump does not match diffuse texture
- PowerPC fixes for visualization & normal operation
- Better handling of mouse right click in trees
- Corrected modality of message boxes.
- Alpha channel support for images (like png). A new option will appear
in the Bitmap Options called "Alpha Channel" - useful for clip mapping
contained in the alpha channel of images.
- Faster reading of obj files
- Missing options & extra functionality for texture plugins
- Fixed long renders (MLT) crashing due to VM increase due to image refresh

hi,

please re-update the win version!!!


I've made a mistake and compiled earlier windows version from the office
without the fox-toolkit fix for the memory leak!

sorry for the inconvenience...

@Chris: any plugin texture?

Soon I hope! I have 5 so far. Maybe I can get them packaged and posted today!

By the way, hopefully you saw the issues with using synthesis layers in bump map channel? It seems to be treating the ramp as a mask and it's clamping every coordinate that has a negative Y value to either 0 or 1 (I can't tell which). It's still doing it in RC4.

I didn't think I was using the mask layer at all. I though I only had synthesis layers involved. I'll rewatch the video though and make sure I'm using it right!

Edit:
So I rewatched the video, and I'm using the synthesis layer exactly as you describe patrick. And when used in diffuse, or specular or whatever channels, it works fine. It's only when used in the bump map channel that it gets clipped at -y.

I assume you guys mean the screenshot in the "Bug Reports for v1.5.1 RC3", near the end? ()
That's a synthesis layer, perlin over ramp. (like poker, full house, aces over fives )

Other tests I've done show that it is working but it's almost like it's processing the synthesis layer correctly then using the ramp to create a mask over it as well.

Avariant is right i could reproduce it and it looks like bump map it mixing both shaders instead of doing the synthesis thing ......
