V-Ray 2.0 for 3ds Max Build 2.10.01 (3 May 2011)

=============

New features:
(*) Separate VRayFlakesMtl material with just the flakes from the VRayCarPaintMtl material; (*) Added VRayGLSL material for direct rendering of GLSL shaders with V-Ray extensions;

Modified features:
(*) The V-Ray RT render server prints out some more information in GPU mode (useful for troubleshooting); (*) Added access to the V-Ray material override exclude list from Max Script; (*) Support for the four FumeFX render elements; (*) Ability to call the Calculate and Save to CSV file operations on the VRayLightMeter from MaxScript; (*) The Browse button for the Split channels file name now opens the folder with the currently selected name (if any); (*) Added an environment override slot for VRayCarPaintMtl material; (*) Added bump slot for the base layer of VRayCarPaintMtl material; (*) Ability to turn off trace reflections for separately for each layer of the VRayCarPaintMtl material; (*) Added MaxScript function, vrayEditDRSettings(), to open the DR settings window; (*) Added possibility to specify user command-line options to 3dsmax.exe when started from the V-Ray DR spawner; (*) VRayMtlID and VRayObjectID render elements now have an option to generate colors instead of integers for proper antialiasing; (*) XML output for the VRayRenderID render element; (*) MaxScript-only option dome_visibleOriginal for dome lights to control filtering of the light texture for glossy rays; (*) Added an option to VRayToon to compensate the camera exposure; (*) Ability to map the radius in VRayDistanceTex with a texture; (*) Option in VRayDistanceTex for a solid inside color; (*) Custom V-Ray materials now work in the Hair&Fur modifier; (*) Hair&Fur now produces the same object ID as the emitter object; (*) The V-Ray bitmap to VRayHDRI converter script did not take into account the input gamma of textures;

(*) Crash with particular pre-render script that turns off V-Ray lights before rendering; (*) VRayBlendMtl material blocks the material IDs of its sub-materials; (*) V-Ray RT: Added support for RPManager material;

Bug fixes:
(*) Noise with Clamp output option enabled produced noisy renders; (*) Hilights from the base reflection layer of VRayCarPaintMtl material were darker than they should be; (*) Slow rendering with many overlapping VRayProxy primitives; (*) Randomly missing gizmos when rendering VRayEnvironmentFog; (*) VRayLights that exclude an object could still affect that object through GI; (*) Rendering with GI may use more detailed texture mip-map levels than necessary; (*) VRayHDRI may not respect the specified memory limit for tiled tex tures; (*) Crashes with particle systems with 3d displacement and motion blur enabled; (*) Spikes with 3d displacement with Keep continuity enabled and particular bad geometry; (*) Incorrect velocity element with VRayFur; (*) Image copied from VFB to clipboard had the first column of pixels swapped for the last one; (*) Loading an image in the V-Ray VFB with a different resolution did not work correctly; (*) img2tiledexr used wrong formula when converting images from sRGB color space; (*) vrim2exr did not preserve the pixel aspect information in the resulting .exr file; (*) ply2vrmesh can convert RealFlow .bin files to .vrmesh files; (*) VRayExposureControl was not accessible from MaxScript; (*) Script error when there is a VRayPlane object in the scene; (*) VRayPhysicalCamera in Movie mode was not exported correctly; (*) Mesh lights were not exported with the .vrscene exporter script; (*) Fringes on the edges of flakes in VRayCarPaintMtl material; (*) Crash with VRayCarPaintMtl material when rendering of texture maps is globally disabled; (*) Warning about Retrace threshold and Use light cache for glossy rays was printed even when not using the light cache; (*) Exception after rendering when the V-Ray raw image file is chosen and the V-Ray VFB is not enabled;

(*) The V-Ray presets did not load if they were saved on a system where the decimal symbol is ,; (*) The file save dialog for .vrimg/.exr files was not resizable; (*) The VRayFastSSS2 material was not exported by the .vrscene MaxScript exporter; (*) The VRayLightSelect element allowed the user to pick meshes instead of just lights; (*) Incorrect velocity element when rendering Hair&Fur natively; (*) The .dra file exported from the Hair&Fur plugin is now moved to the temporary 3ds Max folder instead of the root one; (*) Wrong spelling for affect specular option in VRaySun; (*) Slow rendering of VRayEnvironmentFog with animated Noise texture; (*) V-Ray RT: Objects could disappear in animation; (*) V-Ray RT: When used as production renderer, animation of deforming objects was ignored; (*) V-Ray RT: Wrong exposure when physical camera type was Move cam or Video cam; (*) V-Ray RT: VRayEdgesTex was listed as incompatible with V-Ray RT; (*) V-Ray RT: 3ds Max froze if V-Ray RT was working as an ActiveShade renderer and the user attempted to run V-Ray RT as production renderer; (*) V-Ray RT: .vrscene export was not correct if the system decimal symbol was ,; (*) V-Ray RT: When V-Ray RT was used as production renderer and max. paths per pixel was 0, it was always reset to 64; (*) V-Ray RT: ActiveShade rendering is now paused when doing normal production rendering; (*) V-Ray RT: Render restarted when changing a perspective view, even if the ActiveShade window was locked to using another camera; (*) V-Ray RT: Scene was empty if motion blur was enabled; (*) V-Ray RT: Problem with canceling batch render of animations; (*) V-Ray RT: Adding new objects/lights is not reflected in the ActiveShade window in 3ds Max 2012; (*) V-Ray RT: Standard camera FOV animation was not working; (*) V-Ray RT: Support for the Camera map per pixel texture; (*) V-Ray RT: ParticleFlow systems did not update when an animation with V-Ray RT as production renderer; (*) V-Ray RT: Camera target distance was not updated correctly when rendering through Backburner; (*) V-Ray RT: Issue with VRayLightMtl material inside a VRayBlendMtl material; (*) V-Ray RT GPU: Textures for the color of VRayLightMtl material did not work;
