Display column in Channel Editor's scoped parameter list changed to parameter pinning column. Display mode is default mode for the parameter list. Added parameter display toggle shortcut. Parameter operations that worked on selected parameters now also work on displayed parameters in display mode. Menus in channel editor change based on parameter list mode to correctly indicate operation scope (eg. works on dislpayed or selected).

8.0.260

The IFD commands for specifying deep rasters have changed. The new set of commands allow for arbitrary properties to be set on each deep raster plane. In other words, each plane can now have an individual

  • Pixel filter
  • Sample filter
  • Dithering level
  • Quantization target
  • White point
  • Gamma value

These parameters are now exposed in the mantra output driver.

The sample filter is a new concept. This specifies how samples are composited before being passed to the pixel filter. Currently, samples may be composited using Of (i.e. standard compositing) or only the closest surface may be chosen (previous method for compositing deep rasters).

A new pixel filter is also introduced. The "minmax" filter will scan all samples within the pixel, extracting either the sample which is nearest or farthest from the camera. Only the single nearest or farthest pixel value is used.

At the current time, there is no capability present to mimic the previous "maximum coverage area" sample filtering (i.e. taking the surface which covers most of the pixel and use that value only).

Per-plane format overrides have been removed.

In addition, the number of deep planes is now a multi-lister (meaning that the hard coded limit of 20 deep rasters has been removed).
