Release notes:

Changes in this release

  • Update to latest ANARI SDK v0.14.0
  • Use new SDL3 based anari_viewer infrastructure for TSD
  • Use new core extensions which replace obsolete VISRTX_ specific versions where applicable
  • Added OptiX/driver version validation checks on RTX device initialization
  • Various improvements to (experimental) MDL materials in RTX device
  • Removed old visrtxViewer app (use tsdViewer instead)
  • TSD improvements:
  • Added built-in application state serialization (replaces/deprecates conduit import/export)
  • Removed obsolete applications (tsdMaterialExplorer and tsdVolumeViewer), as tsdViewer can now do everything those did
  • Added support for multiple named "layers" to better organize scenes
  • Added import support for Haystack mesh files (.hsmesh)
  • Added initial support for importing OpenUSD files
  • Added mesh tangents, lights, and more material parameters in assimp importer
  • Added ability to defragment + cleanup used objects within a TSD context (reduce memory usage + faster state file I/O)
  • Many usability updates for UI
  • Various bug fixes
