ass file will now appear with a different scale if the current scene units are different from the ones used during export. This allows loading the file in a scene having different scene units, with consistent results. Scene Units: When exporting scenes to Arnold, the scene units defined in the Render Settings (System) are now stored in the. Users can also perform file operations like export to scene, render to texture in parallel to rendering. Parallel preview renders on the CPU: MtoA can render the Material Viewer and the swatch in parallel with the primary render in Arnold Render View or Arnold Viewport. MtoA 5.0.0 works with the following Maya plugins Optix™ denoiser requires an NVidia GPU with CUDA™ Compute Capability 5.0 and above. We recommend using the 470.74 or higher drivers on Linux and 472.12 (Quadro), 472.12 (GeForce), or higher on Windows. See Getting Started with Arnold GPU for more information. GPU rendering works on Windows and Linux only and requires an NVIDIA GPU of the Ampere, Turing, Volta, Pascal, or Maxwell architecture. This is equivalent to RHEL/CentOS 7.ĬPUs need to support the SSE4.1 instruction set. Apple Mac models with M series chip are supported under Rosetta 2 mode. Linux with at least glibc 2.17 and libstdc++ 4.8.5 (gcc 4.8.5).

Windows 10 or later, with the Visual Studio 2019 redistributable. MtoA 5.0.0 introduces Arnold 7.0.0.0 and is a major feature release bringing parallel preview renders on the CPU, multiple outputs for OSL and custom shaders, brand new imagers along with many other enhancements and bug fixes.
