Gaffer 0.61.3.0

[johnhaddon]

Features

• RandomChoice : Added new node for choosing a random value from a list of weighted choices.
• ArnoldImager : Added new node for adding Arnold imagers to the scene globals.

Improvements

• LightEditor/SceneViewInspector : Improved performance when viewing complex scenes.
• GraphEditor :
  • The focus widget now ignores right clicks, avoiding situations where attempting to open a context menu could accidentally change focus.
  • Removed the focus widget from Expression, Random, Spreadsheet and Animation nodes.
• StandardAttributes : Added attributes.displayColor plug, for controlling the colour of objects in the Viewer.
• UI : The UI is now scaled automatically for high-resolution monitors on Linux (High-DPI with Qt5 and Gaffer #2157). Set the QT_ENABLE_HIGHDPI_SCALING environment variable to 0 to disable.
• ArnoldOptions : Added ignore_imagers option.

Fixes

• Viewer : Fixed gnomon, which went missing in Gaffer 0.61.0.0.
• PathListingWidget : Fixed hangs triggered by hiding a widget while Python-based columns were being queried.
• VectorDataWidget :
  • Fixed header visibility when setHeader() is called after construction.
  • Fixed errors displaying vectors of differing lengths. Note : it is not yet possible to edit vectors of differing lengths.
• PrimitiveInspector :
  • Fixed errors displaying Constant primitive variables with differing array lengths.
  • Fixed header tooltip formatting to match the SceneInspector.
• LightEditor : Fixed column widths. This was only an issue in Qt 5.12 builds, not the official GafferHQ builds.
• USD :
  • Fixed Failed to load attribute warnings caused by attributes without an authored value.
  • Fixed loading of Houdini-style paired primitive variables used to represent varying-length-arrays per vertex/face.

API

• StandardNodeGadget : Added nodeGadget:focusGadgetVisible metadata.
• VectorDataPlugValueWidget :
  • Added support for showing plugs with children, with each child forming a column in the UI.
  • Added vectorDataPlugValueWidget:elementDefaultValue metadata, used to provide the initial
    value for newly added rows.

Build

• Cortex : Updated to version 10.3.2.0.
• Arnold : Added source compatibility for Arnold 7.1.
