Solid Angle has released version 2.1.1 of Arnold for Houdini (or HtoA). This add-on provides a tight bridge to the Arnold renderer from within the standard Houdini interface, in a way that is familiar to both Houdini users and Arnold users in Maya or Softimage.
It also enables smooth lighting workflows between Houdini and other DCC applications, since setups can be exported and shared. The plugin has already been used in production by many studios, including Prime Focus World for Hercules and Vampire Academy, Milk VFX for the Sherlock and Doctor Who TV series, and Framestore NY for the Captain Morgan commercials.
HtoA 2.1.1 release notes:
This is a feature release, bringing improved IPR rendering. This includes adding, removing and re-wiring of shaders during IPR renders in the VOP shading network. Note this excludes changes to the output nodes in the VOP network (for example rewiring the Material output node is not currently supported), and any shader nodes that were not connected at translation time.
Enhancements
- Improved IPR: Adding and rewiring of shaders is supported during IPR rendering. (htoa#907)
- Curve orientation motion blur: Enabling of motion blur when exporting curves with orientation attributes (htoa#918)
Fixes
- Dynamic VOP inputs: Fix for crash during shader connection after last connection (#923)
- Melanin absorption values: Fix for wide gamut rendering color spaces (core#5981)
- Deep EXR: Output of light path expressions now includes volumes (core#6089)
- Lat-long sky dome light: Fixed artifacts in latlong skydome_light (core#6094)
- Fresnel: discontinuity in diffuse term fixed when texture is connected to specular_color (core#6095)
- Subdivision Surfaces: duplicate vertex index in face no longer causes crash (core#6097)
- Watermarks: Warn that images will be watermarked if license authorization fails (core#6116)
