1.1 What’s New» New Measured BRDF Material VRED Professional can now read and display theBRDF information exported from CI-Navigator, a software system by Office ColorScience (OCS) that calculates metallic and pearlescent paint formulations from measurementsof given target paint samples.» Improved BRDF behaviour for many materials VRED 2014 supports an updatedbehaviour of the BRDF model used in many of VREDs materials. This new modelimproves the conservation of energy and respects the interaction between diffuse,glossy and specular layers of a material to achieve an even more realistic rendering.» Cluster Improvements Improved performance and stability during cluster rendering(cluster continues operation even if machines disconnect/crash) CPU usage statisticfor cluster machines.» New Camera features New physical camera tonemapper supporting camera responsecurvesNew Vignetting feature» New Light Portal Material The new light portal material allows the user to guidephotons to the those parts of a scene where they are needed.» Conferencing Synchronize two or more instances of VRED to show the samescene. Control of interaction can be transfer between participants. Synced virtualmouse pointer. Communication is completely encrypted» Usability» Allow mathematical expressions for numerical input fields (supports mathematicaloperators +, -, *, /, e.g. 10*0.5 or 20+100, as well as +=, -=, *=, /=, e.g. +=50to add 50 to the current value).» Allow international characters in nearly all parts of the user interface.» Multiple nodes can be transformed at once with the transform manipulator ortransform module GUI.11
