Bug Fixes

  • Fixed unhandled exception when rendering motion blurred particles with longer duration and more than two geometry samples

VRay RT GPU

  • Fixed crash when rendering through Backurner

  • Fixed incorrect orientation of VRayHDRI in environment slots

  • Wrong ground color for the VRaySky texture

  • Fixed wrong rendering of VRayMultiSubTex texture in DR mode
