• Decreased distribution time

• Anti-aliasing accumulation support when streaming toadditional device

ENHANCEMENTS FOR R2019x RF1• Shadow textures baking can be exported as distributed

Stellar rendering job in order to reduce processing timethrough distributed computing.

VERSION CHANGE AND COMPATIBILITY

ID inconsistencyWhen loading scenes from previous versions, DELTAGEN checks for ID consistency in the scene and informs about possible inconsistencies. If duplicate IDs are identified, the user log contains a list of entities to which a new ID has been assigned. Those elements may have malfunctioned in animations, variants or networks in the old version and may need to be reassigned to their targets.

New file format for batch renderingFrom 2019x on the export file format for batch rendering is .stlr. With this change the .zip files produced with the Render export of older DELTAGEN or DELTAVIEW versions are no longer readable by distributed Stellar version 2019x and onwards.

New physical light values for Stellar scene and mesh lightsOlder scenes with “Intensity” settings are converted to the new system.

Shadow textures created with 2018x The Shadow baking function for Ambient occlusion shadows textures of DELTAGEN 2018x stores 8bit png textures in the RGB format, therefor visual differences between 8bit and 16/32bit textures can occur. In DELTAGEN 2019x a dialog has been implemented to offer an automatic conversion of the affected textures.

Default preferences “Actions on load” changeFile handling > Actions on load > Assignment tables no longer by default set to Allow execute “on load”, but to Ignore execute “on load”. This should avoid a re-execution of assignment tables that have been executed with DELTABATCH already.

Shortcut change for UV editor Translate functionThe shortcut for switching the UV editor function Transform >Tranlate has changed to Shift + W (instead of W).

SYSTEM REQUIREMENTSThe following quotes the required setup specifications for running DELTAGEN and DELTAVIEW and also for processing the 3D scenes that will be loaded.
