Houdini Main Changelogs

4.9.356

The texture engine for sampling non-RAT textures was largely re-written. Aside from minor performance improvements, the texturing code now handles images consisting of 1, 3 or 4 channels of color data which can be 8-bit, 16-bit or floating point format. Previously all images loaded were converted to 4 channel 8-bit or 16-bit rasters internally.

Please note that RAT files still provide the best quality filtering and memory usage and should be used for all texture mapping (excepting bump-mapping and shadow maps where no filtering advantages are gained).

4.9.352

Added "Merge Operation With All Footprints" to sop viewer menu. If anyone finds footprints confusing and does not for sure what is finally exported to the object, this option should put all confusion to rest because it merges everything visible into one SOP.
