Update: Lightmap HDR Light Studio – Cinema 4D Connection Updated for 2024 Compatibility
Lightmap has updated the Cinema 4D connection for HDR Light Studio with support for Cinema 4D 2024. Also, in case you missed it, the Houdini and Omniverse connections were updated back in May.
HDR Light Studio Updated Plug-in Connection Compatibility
Cinema 4D
- Updated with support for Cinema 4D 2024. This is now available for customers to download.
Houdini
- The Houdini connection now uses our new API for a far more responsive lighting experience.
- The Houdini connection is now only compatible with Python 3 builds of Houdini.
- Support added for Houdini 19.5 running on Apple Silicon.
- Please note: The HDR Light Studio main application is still an Intel MacOS app and runs via Rosetta on Apple Silicon computers. However, this does not stop it from performing very well and communicating with our new plug-ins compiled for Apple Silicon apps.
- Updated HDR Light Studio Connection UI.
- Compatibility added for Area Light Spread (Redshift, V-Ray, Arnold, and RenderMan).
- The path to the rendered HDRI lighting textures now uses $HIP file structure.
- Bug fix: The HDR Light Studio connection now prevents users from creating more than one HDR Light Studio Connection Controller.
This is now available for customers to download.
Omniverse
- Support added for Support for USD Composer 2023.1+
- ‘Refresh’ button has been added to the HDR Light Studio Connection panel. The button re-scans the Omniverse stage and re-populates available dome lights in the Dome Lights list.
- The name structure of the area lights created by HDR Light Studio now adheres to the latest naming conventions for paths. The name of any area light created by HDR Light Studio will now begin with ‘hdrls_’.
This is now available for customers to download.
