• [Scene panel] Added the ability to swipe across objects to toggle states like lock, visibility, and collision, across multiple objects.
• [Scene panel] Added the ability to select cameras with other object types, making it easier to delete, group, or otherwise manage selections.
• [Rendering] Added new real time shadows for environment lighting
• [Rendering] Added new render settings for real time shadows for environment lighting (quality, resolution, samples, opacity)
• [Rendering] Improved the visualization of the environment light when used as the background - was previously clamping colors too much
• [Rendering] Added new 4X antialiasing for real time rendering
• [Rendering] Added new render setting presets for real time rendering (draft, medium, high, ultra)
• [Performance] Improved performance when editing image based lighting (environment lights or light layers) while raytracing is enabled.
• [CC Libraries] Updated to CC Libraries version 3.19, bringing the latest bug fixes and features from the Libraries team.
• [Substance Engine] Updated to Substance Engine 8.5.1 for support of the latest Substance material graphs from Substance 3D Designer
• [Substance Model Engine] Updated to Substance Model Engine 1.6.1 for support of the latest Substance model graphs from Substance 3D Designer

Changed:

• [Rendering] Removed the previous drop shadow real time rendering technique
• [Rendering] Removed non-interactive rendering mode. Previously we had interactive raytracing as a render setting. When on, raytracing would continue to be on while editing. When off, raytracing would automatically swap back to real time during interactions then swap back to raytracing after an interaction. This was used by a very low number of people and caused some code complexity. In order to provide the best experience and focus on quality overall we've removed this option. You can use real time or raytracing, but it will no longer automatically swap between them during interactions.
• [Export] Removed the export resolution (DPI) settings. This setting only affected exported PSD "DPI" settings for print resolution. No change to pixel render resolutions was made.
• [Environment lighting tool] Removed the tool option to rotate your environment light vertically. This was not used and causing some bugs.

Fixed:

• [Crashes] Triaged and resolved a number of rendering crashes. Many reported crashes are about running out of GPU memory. The team is continuing to investigate how we can more seamlessly inform when GPU memory is full and switch gracefully to CPU rendering.
• [UI] Resolved an issue where the tool options could break if opened while the color picker or depth-of-field viewport selection action was enabled
• [Substance models] Resolved an issue where UV position nodes wouldn't update in the real time render view for Substance models (SBSM)
• [Rendering] Resolved an issue where displacement caused black artifacts on the edges of models
• [Rendering] Resolved several issues where low polygon count could cause shadow termination artifacts in ray tracing
• [Files] Resolved an issue where saved files were accidentally saving duplicate texture data. Stager will no longer duplicate data. Previously saved files will fix themselves on load. This can result in file sizes being reduced by 5-50%.
• [Properties panel] Resolved an issue where the scroll position would reset when collapsing or expanding groups.
• [Viewport] Fixed an issue where material drag and drop would not work on some parts of the viewport.
• [Viewport] Fixed an issue where the select tool would not properly highlight meshes when over some parts of the viewport.
• [Starter assets] Updated the “Cloth backdrop” asset so it doesn’t crash the app when interacting with some tools.

• [UI] Resolved an issue where applying a material to an object would make the collision object properties disappear.
• [Import] Resolved an issue where importing a Stager file would instead open the Stager file.

Added:

• [Rendering] Rendering PSD format with GPU will now produce render layers.

• [UI] Common transformation tool options (transform space, snapping, and collision toggles) are now available on the viewport control bar for easier access.
• [UI] The viewport control bar has been slightly rearranged to account for the tool options being added.
• [UI] The render settings panel has been switched to a popover to account for the placement on the viewport control bar.

• [Selection] Added a new marquee select tool which allows you to create marquee box selections in the viewport. The default shortcut is Q.
• [Selection] Scene hierarchy navigation shortcuts: You can now select parents and children via shortcut, making it easier to navigate complex scene hierarchies in the viewport. The default shortcuts are [ and ] to step up and down the hierarchy.
• [Selection] You can now use Shift+Cmd (Mac) or Shift+Ctrl (Win) to do additive selection while using the transform tools. Holding shift alone will continue to inverse selections.
• [Lights] Physical lights will now orient to the surface they are aimed at when adding a light.
• [Lights] Physical lights are now included in the frame selection action.
• [Assets] Two new pedestal models in the starter assets for showcasing characters, props, and other assets.
