Notes
Cycles
- Cycles X development continues. Brecht worked on more GPU optimizations, some scenes now render 20-30% faster compared to the initial announcement. Sergey is working on a new shadow catcher implementation that takes into account indirect light.
- Kévin submitted more patches for the Alembic procedural. Some existing patches are still waiting for review from Sybren, Brecht will poke him about this.
- Sergen at Tangent continues working on delta tracking for volumes, initial data structures and absorption handling are now in place.
- A new Cycles developer was hired, planned to start in June / July.
Eevee & Viewport
- The crashes on selection has a potential fix, but still waiting for Clément to commit it and for users to verify it solves the problem.
