3DEqualizer4 R8.0
  • 3DE4 R8
  • 3DEqualizer4 R8.0 beta12 released 3DEqualizer4 Release 8.0
  • Dear Friends of 3DE,

    today we uploaded the next beta version of 3DE4 Release 8.0. There are basically only minor bugfixes and improvements (see changelog below), except from one thing. We changed the implementation of our new "stabilizer" distortion models, since they didn't behave well when distortion parameters were set to 0.0 (as also originally pointed out in our tutorial video). One can consider this as a bug. That has been corrected - both stabilizer parameters now always have a significant effect on the calculation!

    Please note: this means that projects created with b11 which made use of the new models, generate different calculation results in b12. Also, please don't forget to update your nuke nodes in case you are using LDPK!

      Cheers, Rolf
