Gaffer 1.3.7.0

[johnhaddon]

Improvements

• ArnoldShader : Improved support for camera projections by exposing the camera plug on the camera_projection shader.
• Instancer :
  • Improved scene generation for encapsulated instancers significantly, with some production scenes now generating 5-7x faster.
  • Added omitDuplicateIds plug, to determine whether points with duplicate IDs are ignored or should trigger an error.
• ScenePathPlugValueWidget : Added fallback to browsing the focused scene when no other scene can be found. This makes the widget suitable for use on ShaderNodes.
• Windows : Disabled Arnold's ADP usage and crash reporting module by default. Users can enable it by setting ARNOLD_ADP_DISABLE=0 for Arnold versions after 7.1.4.0 or ARNOLD_ADP_OPTIN=1 for earlier versions.

Fixes

• Catalogue : Fixed performance regressive when saving interactive renders with multiple AOVs (introduced in 1.3.6.1).

API

• Capsule : Added protected renderOptions() and throwIfNoScene() methods.
• ScenePath : Added support for passing nullptr for the scene.
• ArnoldShaderUI : Added support for camera widget type metadata, to add a camera browser to a string parameter.
