Oh, did not yet found the time to test it on other systems, so I hope it works.

Can't wait to test it as soon as the vampires from the advertising agencies are done with my blood and my brain.

Congrats for the major improvements!!   Pretty cool!!  I'm really glad we have this no OSL switch, and that the rounded corner is back in the shader.  I'm really happy to be able to disable the primary GI engine, it's faster for look dev.  In an ideal world, we would have a super draft mode possible in Corona so we can have instant feedback of the lighting or rough preview of the shaders.

Good work!!!  The new features are the most welcome.

I'm glad that it works so far. RoundedCorners will change because the current workflow is terrible. And we will have a few other updates soon.

You're serious about the round corners?  I thought that having it in the shader tab was a brilliant idea!...  Instead of having to dig in each objects tab ad set manually one at the time.

What I mean is that you have to plug it into the bump attribute via connection editor and if you want to use a normal bump at the same time you have to plug it into the bump node. That's not user friedly. Would't it be better to connect a roundCorners node via drag and drop onto a corona surface and connect it by "default" connections?

Hmmm I see...  If it's not possible to have it built-in the shader, I guess any method is as good as the other.  I really liked the simplicity of just having it as any channel in the shader!

I like it in the shader too. Like in MODO. It saves some time wireing all that up.
