![]() Multi-Threaded Pixel Filters - Provides faster rendering for projects that integrate pixel filters.New and Improved Buffers for Export - Enables multi-pass pipeline users to output more buffers (layers) in high dynamic range, rather than be limited to 8-bpc (bits per channel), for greater flexibility.Ray Cutoff - Enables artists to decide at what point to stop further ray bounces when rendering a scene with many reflections, refractions, and transparency, saving significant project time.Layout Snapping - Allows the quick connection of one item to another, saving time and additional steps.FiberFX Cloning - Provides the ability to place multiple instances of hair on the same object.This version was not available for Macintosh OS X, just Windows 32- and 64-bit. EXIF metadata support for images loaded and rendered.Composition Overlays for composing shots.Interpolated Soft Reflections/Refractions for Node-based surfacing.Collada, FBX added and OBJ I/O support improved.New light types included are Dome, IES/Photometric, and Spherical/Ball lights. Lights are now an API allowing for third party lights to be coded with the SDK.HDR antialiasing options in the image viewer.Joint bone types, easier to rig, allow correct twist along their lengths and allow for stretchy limbs.Much improved IK/Rigging features, Same As Item controller, improved IK stability, Pole Vector, Align to XY Plane IK goal.FiberFX hair and fur rendering system supports combing, dynamics, raytraced fibers, radiosity-shaded fibers and modeled fiber creation.Enhanced radiosity with disk-based cache and unique animated radiosity caching mode.(note: the Windows installer contains both the 32-bit and 64-bit versions) 2008 - LightWave 9.5 A maintenance update that provides improved reliability and speed enhancements to the additions made in LightWave v9.3.Macintosh Universal version for improved Intel-based Mac rendering (roughly 3x faster on average).New subsurface scattering nodes Fast Skin and Sigma 2.Volume stacking (means an end to using reversed geometry to indicate changes of IoR). ![]()
