Awesome!! Just messing around super quick. Went to render using Interactive, and this error popped up. I don't have AI Denoiser active either:

===== Error(-18) =====
Internal error in NVIDIA AI Denoiser. Please report this to Corona support with this info:

Error encountered during denoising.
Unknown error (Details: Function "_rtCommandListExecute" caught exception: Failed to launch DLDenoiser post-processing stage. DLDenoiser run method failed with error -29.)

When i try to use the AI denoiser i also get a error


===== Error(-18) =====
Failed to initialize NVIDIA AI denoiser: Unable to load required DLLs. Please make sure that the the NVIDIA AI denoiser Corona component is correctly installed.
Missing DLL: optix.51.dll

My gpu is a GTX 1070. Not sure if this is the problem or not?

Also, just throwing this out there since you guys have implemented more Hair features... What's the possibility of supporting the C4D Grass shader? I'm pretty sure it's essentially a simplified version of C4D's hair system. And I know you guys just wanna get this renderer released, so not a huge deal. Sorry if you hate my guts lol.

Looks like the new displacement has been implemented as well!?

Thanks guys!!!

Is the installer W10 only now or is it just me? It gives me the api-ms-win-core-version-l1-1-1.dll is missing. Other beta installers work just fine :)

While I am fighting with displacement ram issue.... I am seeing new beta. Wow... Thanks.

Memory-efficient displacement, it will be in beta releases or have to wait till final...?

Thanks.

[mrittman]

Also curious, does this include the new bump-mapping implementation?

[iacdxb]

Thanks for adding IES...!

I tried this new beta... same calculating displacement time and preparing geometry time... around 8 min and same low ram error message and force quit window appears....! Attaching some crash reports.

Maybe it's not fully implemented yet but the "Auto Bump" feature is working in my tests and the new default screen size setting is 3...

Hi,

I can not install it,
windows 7 pro

me too :(

Oh... OK.

1. Error about missing 'api-ms-win-core-version-l1-1-1.dll' --- i assume a bad installer was compiled - not suited for w7/8. Works only with w10.

2. Since some already have NVidia's AI denoiser libraries, is it possible to have an option (checkbox) to "DON'T DOWNLOAD"?
Along the lines, for those who prefer manual installation (Unpack only), a simple note about "Where to put denoiser's extra libraries" or "What to do otherwise (set env. variable or...?)" would be nice.  (freshdesk doesn't cover this yet).

Thanks
