Gaffer 1.4.12.0

[murraystevenson]

Features

• Viewer : Added support for Cycles GPU rendering via a new Device option in the Cycles viewer settings.

Improvements

• UI Editor :
  • Added the ability to edit the scale of node icons.
  • Improved layout of Box node plug creator visibility toggles.
• ArnoldShader : Moved the toon shader's *_tonemap_hue_saturation parameters to appropriate sections in the UI.
• File Browser : The "Type" column can now be sorted. This sorts directories separately from files, which are sorted by their extension.

Fixes

• SceneWriter : Fixed handling of ':' characters in set names when writing to USD. These were previously converted to '_' but are now preserved.
• SceneReader : Fixed loading of animated ModelAPI extents from USD.
• ResamplePrimitiveVariables : Fixed handling of periodic curves.
• VectorDataWidget : Fixed bug causing paths to display as "..." after the last visible "/" when the widget wasn't wide enough to show the entire path.

API

• MetadataWidget : Added NumericMetadataWidget class.
• RenderPassWedge : Render adaptors may now be used to delete and/or disable render passes, by passing client = "RenderPassWedge" to SceneAlgo.registerRenderAdaptor().
