Bugfixes daily build:

CoronaBitmap

• load dialog now remembers gamma settings
• fixed loading of HDR images that used old compression method
• fixed bug in CoronaBitmap when used as direct visibility override environment map and seen through thin glass

Proxy

• Added creation progress bar
• Faster viewport updates when using pointcloud previz

[Ondra]

Updated licensing and DR servers so the text in log window can now be easily selected without the selection resetting immediately

[Ondra]

• Fixed include/Exclude list in CoronaScatter not properly deleting nodes: https://corona-renderer.com/bugs/view.php?id=1269
• added additional bump option to CoronaNormalTex
• Proxy: Duration is also shown in frames in case of an animated proxy
• Proxy: Duplicate to mesh fixed as it now creates the snapshot at the current time
• Proxy: No create pop-up dialog in case of static (non-animated) objects
• DR Server: The text from the log window is now properly selectable
• Added some tooltips for new features

[Ondra]

DR Server, Licensing server text windows:

• Doesn’t lose selection on lost focus
• CTRL+A selects the whole text
• Double click selects the whole line

[Ondra]

• Displacement render progress message will no longer display if there is no displacement in the scene
• Displacement fixed when used on non-manifold geometry (https://forum.corona-renderer.com/index.php/topic,9326.msg60202/topicseen.html#new)
• Fixed excessive noise when the same map is in scene environment and also enviro overrides
• Fixed top/bottom mtl working in reverse
• Added many new error messages/warnings: using unsupported maps/materials, or with unsupported settings/in unsupported slots,  using unsupported 3dsmax multipass effect, using changing-topology meshes with motion blur, ...

[Ondra]

• slightly improved geometry pre-processing times
• Scatter “avoid collisions” now produces much tighter packing when scattered nodes are rotated
• rayswitch, layered mtl now displayed properly in viewport when they have no sub-materials
• rayswitch, layered mtls now created with a default CoronaMtl as sub-material

[hubrobin]

• CoronaScatter: Fixed a bug in avoid collisions strictness

[Ondra]

• coronabitmap with missing map will now produce red text in the render for better debugging
• Fixed incorrect reports about too large scene bounding box
• Added Corona warning when memory is running out

[Ondra]

quickfix: fixed creating proxy not working

[Ondra]

• Nodes will not atttempt to contact server with empty login. This previously caused some temporary blocks of IP addresses when licensing was misconfigured.
• Proxy supports geometry with changing topology
• Proxy bugfixes

[Ondra]

• Made clearing VFB more consistent and fixed several of the use-cases related to it.
• Fixed bugs in “render selected” feature. This feature should now be production-ready
• Added warning when using layered material with empty base layer
• Fixed Corona Scatter working incorrectly when offseting scatter source pivot https://corona-renderer.com/bugs/view.php?id=1289
• Fixed Corona render dlgs appearing multiple times in max 2016 when using lock material editor renderer button https://corona-renderer.com/bugs/view.php?id=1234
• Fixed issue where it was impossible to start docked interactive rendering for second time in Max 2012 https://corona-renderer.com/bugs/view.php?id=1230
• Fixed Corona MultiMap not respecting input textures alpha https://corona-renderer.com/bugs/view.php?id=1137
• Fixed light leaking happening when using reflective materials with lights below surface, and black edges happening on reflective objects https://corona-renderer.com/bugs/view.php?id=1036 https://corona-renderer.com/bugs/view.php?id=1197

[Ondra]

• Fixed defaults for material override and render selected include/exclude list
• Fixed CoronaLight wrong intensity in lights explorer https://corona-renderer.com/bugs/view.php?id=1070 and state sets https://corona-renderer.com/bugs/view.php?id=1074
• Fixed vector displacement producing black pixels with incorrect inputs
• Fixed loading of 32bit targa files in CoronaBitmap https://forum.corona-renderer.com/index.php?topic=9433 https://corona-renderer.com/bugs/view.php?id=1302
• Clicking on line between Corona light and its target will select both the line and target. So far working only for non-nitrous viewports.
• DR tab in VFB is no longer immediately cleared when rendering stops https://corona-renderer.com/bugs/view.php?id=1145
• When renaming Corona Sun/Light, the target will now get renamed too https://corona-renderer.com/bugs/view.php?id=1044
• Fixed slow rendering when different light types were combined in single scene - see attached
  
• Fixed bug causing fireflies when using rectangle/disk lights inside volumes - see attached image
• Fixed self-intersections with extremely thin triangles - https://corona-renderer.com/bugs/view.php?id=1047
• Low memory embree switch is working again
• CoronaMultiMap in instance mode no longer changes color when editing scene in interactive mode
• Displacement: Better handling of out of frustum geometry (e.g. things that are visible after displacement are properly tessellated)
• Displacement: Reports memory allocation failure if there is not enough memory to continue processing instead of crashing. The render is stopped when such condition occurs.
• CoronaScatter: Spacing fix

[Ondra]

• Submaps of Corona mtls/maps are now displayed in track view
• Only compatible materials are now displayed when picking new materials in mtl editor
• Only compatible texmaps are now displayed when picking new texmaps for Corona material slots

[Ondra]

• Removed/massively reduced flickering when using textured corona lights in animation
• Decreased polycounts for displacement scenes with no loss in quality due to improved out of frustum culling
• Improved appearance of textured lights with black regions in the texture
