Hello tomacmuni,

Some of the improvements we have made to the software are listed below.

  • We have now redesigned the material to create an even more flexible, physically accurate material that is also easy to understand and easy to use.
  • Shaderlight can now render interactively to any custom resolution up to 1920x1920.
  • Overall speed has been increased (up to 100% for complex production scenes) with notable improved performance for skylight, area lights and glossy materials.
  • Progressive image refinement has been improved, with particular reference to the early image quality of glossy materials and area lights.
  • A new message window is available to track log messages during interactive rendering.
  • Several bugs have been fixed to improve overall stability as well as feature related bugs such as invisible objects not rendering.

Please let us know what you think when you give it a try.

Doc.
