3.4.7
* Added new 'Background Settings' scene node. This allows changing from env map to sun/sky etc.. from the Indigo GUI.
* Env map settings in 'Background Settings' node allows chosing of map, rotation, underlying spectrum etc..
* Fixed issue with blends of null blends. (see http://www.indigorenderer.com/forum/vie ... =5&t=11879)
* Fixed bug with OpenGL view not being cleared properly on OS X.
* Fixed occasional crash on OS X.
* Added nicer handling for improper UV mapping when using normal maps.
* Property editor shows node name and type in dock widget title bar now.
* Added --clear_cache command, which deletes contents of cache directory.
* Fixed some artifacts with aperture diffraction.
* Fixed incorrect red tint of A.D. filter.
* Improved A.D. quality for circular apertures.
* A.D. max width in final image pixels can now be larger.
* Fixed some tonemapping changes not being applied for automatic image saving.
* fixed console not halting on error

I just tested that new AD behavior. The Artifacts seem to be fixed, great work on that :)
But it seems that now some "serious" blurring happens while activating PostPro AD :/
The Blur seems to be all over the image.
I used SS3 and radial splat with sharp resize for my base rendering...

Here are my testrenders:

It seems that I can't get a slave to use it's GPU raw power?

MASTER SYSTEM
- Dell XPS9100 - i7-980X
- GeForce GTX670 - using Cuda
NETWORK SLAVE
- Dell XPS9100 - i7-980
- ATI Radeon HD 4350

Rendering a scene with master only using Path (CPU) gives me a SPP of around 1500K SPP.
Rendering a scene with master only using Path (GPU) gives me a SPP of around 2600K SPP.
Rendering a scene with master and the slave using Path (GPU) gives me a SPP of around 4000K SPP (Slave advertise 1400SPP average). Looking at the slave console, I am getting the following message : (Warning: GPU mode requested but no appropriate device found, reverting to CPU mode.)

I went and bought another GeForce GTX670 and installed it in my slave (I could have fixed the drivers but needed raw power anyway). I ended up with :
MASTER SYSTEM
- Dell XPS9100 - i7-980X
- GeForce GTX670 - using Cuda
NETWORK SLAVE
- Dell XPS9100 - i7-980
- GeForce GTX670 - using Cuda

Rendering a scene with the slave still gives me a SPP of around 4000K SPP (Slave advertise 1400SPP average).
Looking at the slave console, I am getting the following message : (Using CUDA device 'GeForce GTX 670') which does not make any sense since it gives me the same SSP as if it was not using it's GPU.

Another thing I noticed.... When starting Indigo slave within a Windows Terminal Service session, CUDA driver cannot be found. Indigo probably looks within the terminal service session... Could it be related? I am still getting the 1400SPP when starting Indigo slave locally on the slave!!!

Please help, I really need the speed!

I even used the same install disk for the GPU drivers.

That's one small step for [a] man, one giant leap for mankind!

When can we expect the "save material" feature to work in OSX? I was hoping it would be included in this release.
