• Near linear rendering performance scaling when adding additional GPUs.
• Render modes support global illumination, direct illumination (with/without shadow), wireframe, diffuse albedo, position, normal, texture coordinates, ambient occlusion.
• AOVs for post processing including support for opacity, world coordinates, UVs, material index, geometric normals, shading normal, reflections, diffuse lighting, and albedo.
• Control over frame completion and rendering -- pause, set render pass limits and duration.
• Added “Out-of-Core” texture cache setting for viewport and material renders.
• Animations of frames can be exported in the .rpr format.
• Batch/background, region, and tile rendering support.
• Displacement and Renderstamp support.

(*only supported when using an AMD CPU + an AMD GPU.
**Available in Windows® version only.
***Only available in the Radeon™ ProRender™ 1.0 “Legacy” render mode and not currently compatible with the Radeon™ ProRender 2.0 “Full” render mode.)

• *NEW* Texture cache settings with user-specified folder to cache textures for rendering.
• *NEW* Support for UDIM textures and image texture sequences.
• Support for additional Maya® nodes:blendTwoAttr, Bump 2d, Clamp, Gamma Correct, and Texture Projection.
• Material node improvements, including more math operations in the RPR Arithmetic node and expedited export of layered texture nodes.
• Shadow Catcher node is renamed the Matte node, includes Reflection Catcher and Shadow Catcher functionality.
• Convert Arnold Renderer and Redshift materials (in addition to already supported V-Ray material conversion) to Radeon™ ProRender materials.
• Separately installed Material Library with 300+ materials that use the Radeon™ ProRender Uber Shader so they’re easy to use as starting points for your own materials.
• Uber Shader with subsurface scattering, diffuse backscattering, a simplified caustics option, clear coat appearance, and refraction and reflection normal maps.
• Ambient Occlusion node for enhanced procedural texture workflows.
• Texture color space controls – set the color space to either sRGB or linear.
• Supports X-Rite’s Appearance Exchange Format (AxF™). Learn more at Xrite.com(Link to third-party site) ¹.
• Physically correct materials and lighting allow you to make true design decisions with global illumination – including caustics.
• Import/export Radeon™ ProRender Materials, including those from Autodesk® 3ds Max®.
• Materials are simple to use via the Maya® material Hypershade editor.
• UV generation and basic transform info for maps, which include scaling, offset, and rotations.
• Change textures and apply tiling/scaling while rendering in a Maya® viewport.

• *NEW* Assigning a “Light Group ID” attribute to lights. With the corresponding AOV, this allows artists to separate lighting via groups of lights.
