Isotropix Clarisse: A Tree of Updates in Pine Tree Release

The latest release from Isotropix, Clarisse 3.6 SP8 and 3.6 SP8b for Windows, brings a plethora of improvements and bug fixes to the table. The team has been busy addressing various issues and enhancing the overall performance and functionality of their software.

One of the most notable changes is the fix for the albedo AOV that was previously broken. This issue has now been resolved, allowing users to work with overridden attributes once again without any hiccups. Additionally, when reloading a reference context, pending objects are now created correctly even if the original item is no longer present.

Another significant update addresses the issue of disabled contexts. In previous versions, the 'disabled' state would often get lost during the reload process. This has been rectified in the latest release, ensuring that users can work with their projects as intended.

The team has also worked to improve the wording of licensing error messages, making them more explicit and user-friendly. Furthermore, launching Clarisse or CNode with the -license_server argument now correctly sets the application license type to floating.

In terms of memory leaks, Isotropix has fixed several small issues that could occur when loading geometry properties. This should result in improved performance and stability for users.

A few notable bug fixes include resolving a crash that occurred when displaying instance color texture nodes in the texture view, as well as fixing an issue with Alembic fur caches that prevented copying objects with different properties.

Another issue that has been addressed is the problem of images containing animated Alembic bundles being rendered twice. This should significantly improve rendering performance and reduce the risk of errors.

Finally, the team has fixed a bug that was causing property animations to be lost when resyncing referenced Alembic caches. This ensures that users can maintain control over their animation settings and avoid any unexpected changes.

Overall, the latest release from Isotropix is a significant step forward in terms of performance, stability, and functionality. With these updates and bug fixes, users can expect to enjoy a more seamless and productive experience when working with Clarisse iFX 3.6 SP8 and 3.6 SP8b on Windows.
