Release Notes
2.2.1
July 22nd, 2026
New 'Virtual Source' Mode for 3D Volumetric Light
Lets the user cast light rays from a point using separate 'Source' and 'Aim' controls
Uses either Cartesian (XYZ) or Spherical (Distance/Height/Angle) coordinates
Introduced a 'Break Up Rays' checkbox + sub-parameters that filters light rays as if through clouds/foliage
Changed Air Disturbance math for significantly more realistic pattern
Made the interactive point cloud viewer update more smoothly with parameter changes
Added a 'Show Haze Occlusion' toggle in the Point Cloud Viewer to make points render in front of scattered light
Significant performance improvements across all GPU backends
2.1.4
July 5th, 2026

Fixed bug that caused the air disturbance lit by volumetric light to look 'stretched'
Changed the 'Feather Gamma' param to 'Near Limit Fade' and changed its behavior

1.1.4.1
August 1st, 2025
Experimental OpenCL Release! (Windows Only)
Now supports AMD GPU's
Stable depth estimation is significantly slower
(macOS) Addresses issue where 'Source Position' in the Volumetric Light suite wouldn't move.

Notes:
Consumes significantly more memory when rendering stable depth map compared to the Color/Edit tabs and may be slower.
Currently can't accept an external depth map like the Color tab can.
Stable Depth Map now uses a single frame as a reference to normalize depth for the entire clip.
This keeps depth consistent as closer objects move in and out of the frame.
Now includes a 'Set Reference Frame' button to set it manually.
Significant speed increase when using volumetric light.
Fixed memory allocation error on macOS.
