Notes
Cycles
- Radeon Image Filter was tested by Brecht, there is a problem loading the model files, Brian will look into it.
- Light spread feature will be added soon, will need a render by artists members for the release notes, and testing the patch would be helpful.
- Stefan update the standalone repository with Blender 2.92 changes.
- Kévin implemented compression for CPU-GPU transfer, but it appears CPU side compression is a bottleneck and overall makes performance worse. Would need to precompress data in a special format for this to work, unclear if this will help for Alembic files.
Pipeline
- Cryptomatte is almost ready, Brecht will review. Decision is to keep the old Cryptomatte node around for backwards compatibility, and have a new one next to it. The old one can then be removed at some point in the future.
