MtoA 3.1.1 is a feature release, including the following improvements:

- Round Corners
A new shader aiRoundCorners allows rendering of rounded edges at shading time, without having to subdivide the geometry.





Features
- Out-of-the-box support for VDB sequences in aiVolume and image sequences in aiImage
- Added support for sequences in Render Selection to Texture
- Added Shader Motion Blur parameter to turn off motion blur on shader parameters
- Support User Data in Override Sets
Bugfixes
- AOVs from references scenes used to be rendered even though they didn't appear in the AOVs list
- Fix issues with instanced Standins
- XGen Interactive Groom Splines: visibility wasn't properly supported
- XGen : Instancing Xgen shapes wasn't supported properly
- Fixed error when trying to add a new output driver to an AOV
