The correct behaviour in this case is to render with only the rasteriser. Objects whose render method was "Default" were being rendered with both the rasteriser and the ray tracer. It approximates self-shadow of bump maps at the lighting terminator to reduce the chance of seeing a sharp line where the surface falls into shadow.įixed a bug that occurred when "Ray trace objects" was off. "Darken bumps at terminator." This is a new checkbox on the Surface Shaders tab of object readers and non-displaceable object generators. It fixes self-shadow artifacts at the lighting terminator of polygonal objects where the smooth normals are inconsistent with the geometric normal. "Smooth polygons at terminator." This is a new checkbox on the Surface Shaders tab of object readers, and it is enabled by default. For example, altitude constraints work with bump mapped surfaces. The new system in 4.4.65 fixes those bugs and also maintains solutions to some long-standing issues.įixed some bump mapping and lighting bugs that were introduced in 4.4.46: incorrect lighting positions incorrect normals on highly curved or highly displaced surfaces.īump maps don't affect the lighting position anymore, because this was causing severely unrealistic distortion of shadows.īump maps affect the data that shaders use for non-lighting. Recent 4.4 builds had some bugs that were caused by changes to address some long-standing issues. Overhauled the bump mapping and lighting system that's used on ray traced objects to improve image quality and accuracy. Improved stability on systems with a high number of detected CPU cores/threads. Restrictions on Volumetric Assets, Definitions, Updates, and more.
