Release Notes
Major Feature Highlights
Breakthrough Real-Time Rendering:
- RTX Real-Time 2.0 is now the default, delivering real-time path-traced visuals with enhanced lighting simulation fidelity for highly accurate large-scale simulations.
Advanced Sensor & Point Cloud Support:
- Expanded support for rolling shutter, structured light sensor patterns, customizable camera ISP, and photometric lighting units—plus improved IES profile accuracy and optimized performance for massive OpenUSD VFI scenes.
Optimized Scene & Clash Management:
- Major scene and asset optimization tools, faster memory management (mimalloc, zero-copy), and FSD (Fabric Scene Delegates) enabled by default.
- Dynamic clash detection and analysis are faster and more accurate offline and runtime playback with advanced grouping, filtering, and database migration support.
Core Technology & Platform Upgrades:
- Integrated Pixar USD 25.02, Python 3.12, NumPy 2.x, and CUDA 12.4.1 for modern workflows and compatibility. Enterprise-ready with robust string safety, expanded ARM support, improved diagnostics, and OpenTelemetry-based observability.
Enhanced Security, Collaboration, & Infrastructure:
- Resolved vulnerabilities across Kit, Nucleus, and App Streaming; improved diagnostics, observability metrics and logging, streamlined cache management, and cloud deployment.
- Collaboration features have been enhanced with a new Deep Link functionality where customers on cloud deployments can share a scene via a unique URL, enabling others to join with matching timing and camera views.
