  2. Fixed the issue that material syncing fails when the name contains leading/trailing spaces or other special characters that can't be correctly read.

  3. Fixed the issue that some material settings would be lost when user manually modified the material in D5 Render and then triggered another sync.

  4. Fixed the issue that Blender would crash when deleting objects during sync.

  5. Fixed the issue where some materials were not sync'd correctly in specific scene files.

  6. Fixed the issue where light intensity was not synced correctly in some cases.

  7. Resolved the issue of occasional light position shift during sync.

  4. Support for syncing Area, Spot, and Point Lights.

  5. Support for syncing Blender camera parameters, including focal length, lens, etc.

  6. Support for syncing material textures, normals, roughness, and other parameters.

Optimization ​

  1. Optimized the speed of syncing light and environment data.

  2. Reduced light glitches and improved stability of light and environment data syncing.

Fixes ​

  1. Fixed the issue of some materials not being synced correctly.

  2. Fixed the issue where some lights would not sync properly when parented to certain objects.

Known Issues ​

  1. Connection to D5 Render may fail if D5 Render is not started as administrator in some cases.

  2. Sync speed slows down when syncing large texture files.

  3. Some Blender material nodes that contain complex procedural maps may not be synced correctly.

  4. Only one Sun light sync is supported.

  5. Import of textures in specific formats (e.g., .exr) may not be supported by D5 Render, resulting in sync failure.

  6. Synchronization of specific light intensity values may vary depending on scene settings.

Ver. 0.9.0.0102 ​

Release date: 20230928

New ​

  1. Compatible with Blender 3.6

  2. Support syncing Sun lights, Area lights, Spot lights, Point lights.

  3. Support for syncing light parameters from Blender to D5.

Optimization ​

  1. Increased sync speed.

  2. Increased sync speed for large scene files.

  3. Improved stability for syncing large scene files.

Fixes ​

  1. Fixed the issue where blender would crash when undoing/redoing during sync.

Known Issues ​

  1. Sync speed may be slow when the Blender scene contains a large number of objects.

  2. When syncing, the brightness of synced lights may differ slightly from Blender because D5 Render uses a different light model. Manual adjustments may be needed in D5 Render for the best lighting effect.

  3. Synced D5 materials might not update correctly if the Blender material name is changed after sync.

  4. Syncing of complex procedural textures is not supported and they may not show up as expected in D5 Render.

Ver. 0.9.0.0098 ​

Release date: 20230831

New ​

  1. Compatible with Blender 3.5

  2. Support for D5 Render 2.5 Features.

Optimization ​

  1. Increased sync speed.

  2. Improved stability of sync for scenes with large number of objects.

Fixes ​

  1. Fixed the issue that light intensity and light color are not syncing correctly in some cases.

  2. Fixed the issue of Blender crashing when modifying objects during sync.

  3. Fixed the issue of missing textures in some synced scenes.

  4. Fixed the issue that materials would not update correctly when modified in Blender after sync.

Known Issues ​

  1. Custom light shapes are not supported.

  2. Only one sun light sync is supported; additional sun lights will be ignored during the sync process.

  3. If the Blender file name contains special characters, it may cause problems during the initial sync or the subsequent updates.

  4. When syncing, if the D5 Render scene already has models, please ensure the newly synced Blender models do not conflict with the existing models in the D5 scene.

Ver. 0.9.0.0039 ​

New ​

  1. Support Blender 3.4

Fixes ​

  1. Fixed the issue where camera parameters did not sync correctly in some cases.
