Shader override support: Quickly override all or selected object's shaders to Checker, Grey, Mirror which are useful for look development and lighting, as well as to Normal, Occlusion and UV, for debugging.įixed Nuke freezing when changing the port explicitly. Stability improvements and bug fixes: Fixed a crash when frequently changing the resolution during IPR.įull IPR Support within Aton UI in Maya: No longer need to refresh every time you switch the camera or set an overrides. Sequence Rendering: New rendering mode has been added from Dan Bradham, allowing to batch render a multiple frames at one go.Įxtra Host support: Simultaneously stream the rendering process to an extra machine in the same network. Overscan support: Setup the overscan during IPR, and then automatically Set current values in the Scene Render Settings.

Live Camera support: By Enabling Live Camera checkbox, Aton will create an interactive camera node in Nuke, which will update during IPR and frame change.Įxtra Host improvements: It's now possible to stream the rendering to Extra Host, without necessarily having a local Nuke session opened. Please note that it requires C4DtoA v1.6.0 or higher.ĭockable UI in Maya: By default Aton UI in Maya is now docked at right corner.

Fixed a crash with driver when the specified port is being used.Ĭinema 4D support: Initial support for C4DtoA includes the following.Fixed a various threading issues causing to random crashes.Fixed the progress for Render Region not showing up correctly.Incoming Pixel Aspect Ratio is now respected by the Format.Fixed an issue with colour picker not always showing up at render time.Status bar is now active at render time and grey when it's idle.Added Render Layer Name and Sampling Settings.It's still possible to use a crop nodes too. Render Region: Region handles have been added in the node, which accelerates the workflow. There is an arbitrary output entry in the Arnold driver which can be set by a script. Render Layers: Render Layer names will show up as a prefix for snapshot's name on the stack. Use write to disk options to permanently store them, as it was done before with capturing.

See how to install at the bottom of this page.Īdded Nuke v11.2 and Arnold v5.2 Core support:Īuto Snapshots: Each IPR session is now automatically being kept in memory with options to take, rename, reorder and remove the snapshots.

HtoA implementation is based on the research article from Ryan Heniser, but the workflow is similar to Maya and Cinema 4D.

Camera, Resolution, Sampling and Bucket Scanning Overrides.

MultiFrame IPR with ROPs as Render Layers.

Houdini support: Initial support for SideFX Houdini includes the following.

Remove multiple selection of snapshots.

Sets correct frame range in Multiple Frame mode.

Added filter box for output rops to use with wildcards.

Stores override settings per selected output rop.

At this moment this feature is only available for Houdini, but similar scripts should work fine for the other DCC apps too. It's fully farm manager agnostic, meaning you have to sub-class and implement supplied virtual methods in the python script in order to get it to work for the given farm requirements. Simultaneous render sessions: Multiple render sessions can now simultaneously be launched using the same port number.ĭistributive rendering on the farm: The frame can be split into smaller tiles and distributed on the local render farm via region arguments.

Fixes copy render region issue if Aton node existed in the Nuke script before.

Disables adaptive sampling if Camera AA is overridden.

Added Open and Select actions in the output context.

Clipboard data is now normalised to better work with multiple resolutions.

Added Fit button in render region to fit the Nuke window.

In DCC apps like Houdini or Katana where the driver selection is not exposed in the UI, this can come handy to use Aton without extra scripts.Īdded metadata support: All the information that Aton has on its framebuffers is now stored in the node as a metadata.

New Operator Aton: operator_aton is designed to replace all output drivers with aton driver at render time.
