Arnold 6.2
Autodesk released Arnold 6.2, an update to its production renderer.
Key Features
The release introduced a light-mixing system that allowed scenes to be relit without a complete rerender. GPU rendering gained shadow groups, while the USD toolset added physical parameters and per-face material assignment. Arnold 6.2 also added OpenColorIO 2.0 support.
Additional Improvements
Smaller additions included support for light bloom in the lens-effect imager. Autodesk documented the full set of changes in Arnold’s online documentation.
