RT
- Texture locators using "front projection" are now properly updated in RT, this includes changing the projection camera or its channels;
- When the render region is changed/enabled/disabled do not start rendering from scratch, instead reuse already calculated samples;
- Enhance Region: Preserve the region when restarting RT using the vray.rt.restart command or when a change requiring complete restart is made (e.g. changing Render Cache mode);

- (Experimental) Added an OpenGL preview for V-Ray Scanned materials;
- The V-Ray Scanned interface is very slow when there is no available license;
V-Ray Proxy
- Enabled the "particle width multiplier" parameter of the "Invoke ply2vrmesh" command for the .prt, .ply, .geo and .bgeo file formats;
V-Ray Textures
- The V-Ray Curvature's "out color min" and "out color max" channels now accept values up to 100;

.vrscene import
- Remove unnecessary suffixes (@node, @light, @mtl, @mtl_brdf, @tex) from imported geometry names, light names, material tags, material names and texture names;
- UVWGenChannel: Support for importing the "tile" options from 3ds Max;

Bug Fixes

General
- Crash during RT when modifying geometry at vertex/edge/polygon level;
- Crash during RT GPU when picking items/materials in the VFB window with 2 or more GPUs used;
- Crash on a specific scene on macOS caused by stack overflow;
- Crash when a Render Mask in selection mode is active and the selection is switched between a replicator and something else multiple times;
- Crash if the Restart RT button is clicked after starting RT and while the scene is still being exported;
- Crash when a material group references one of its parents instead of an actual library material;
- Crash during RT when a transform constraint is deleted together with other items;
- Crash: MODO 801 SP5 and below crash when using one of the "camera" commands in the VFB during RT and a confirmation dialog needs to be opened;
- Crash with the OpenGL preview of the V-Ray Volume Grid on macOS in Modo 11.0 and later;
- Crash when opening the VFB history panel if there's a vrimg in the history directory that was not saved through the panel itself;
- Deadlock (random) during RT when the render/enhanced region is changed with lens effects or denoiser enabled;
Camera
- Scaled V-Ray physical camera makes image AA very blurry when rendering on the CPU;
Geometry
- The V-Ray Clipper include/exclude list doesn't work with Replicator and .vrscene reference items;
Installation

Nodal Shading
- The "inverse" channel of the "Trigonometry" node doesn't work correctly in V-Ray;
Render Settings
- When auto-saving 16-bit TIFF or 16-bit PNG images after a render, they are saved as 8-bit;
RT GPU
- Pressing the RT restart button multiple times very quickly will sometimes block the whole MODO UI completely, requiring the MODO process to be killed;
- Picking an object/material in the VFB will randomly not work when RT GPU is used with 2 or more GPUs;

Sampling
- Noisy glossy refraction with BF\LC and Light Cache Retrace turned on in some scenes;
Stability
- Prevent storing custom channels larger than 64KBs in MODO 10.0 and earlier, as those might lead to file corruption;
Shader Tree
- When using RT + DR, group masks on material items don't work correctly on the slaves, the material becomes transparent;
- When using RT + DR, gradients on the bump effect don't work on the slaves;
- If a material has no Shader item above it, it should render normally, instead of completely black;
- Group/Layer masks with transparent areas don't work correctly;

V-Ray Proxy
- The "Convert to V-Ray Proxy" command crashes when an instance of an instance needs to be replaced with a V-Ray Proxy;
- Material tags for a V-Ray Proxy exported from Rhino are not showing up in Modo;
V-Ray Materials
- Bump mapping disappears on small objects or when the camera is very close to an object;
- The V-Ray alSurface material doesn't appear in V-Ray Light Select render elements;
