NEW PARTICLE AND PROPERTY PAINT
Thanks to Clarisse 3.5, it has never been so easy to control instances in your scatterers! Directly paint particles in Clarisse to layout geometry instances and drive each of their attributes such as ID, rotation or scale etc. by painting custom particle properties. Use the new Bake Scatterer feature to bake any of your procedurally generated scatterers to edit and control manually individual instances by using brush strokes. |
NEW PER-OBJECT SCATTER PROBABILITYIn Clarisse 3.5, you can now set the probability of each scattered object to creatively control how often specific objects are instanced by your scatterer. This way you can easily manage the diversity of your instance distribution by favoring some objects over others to have for example 20% of trees for 80% of bushes. |
NEW SCATTERER INSTANCE COLLISION DETECTIONClarisse 3.5 introduces an all-new fast and flexible instance collision detection for scatterers to greatly improve the realism of your scenes. Overlapping instances in your scatterers can now be automatically culled to create more natural distribution. Collision detection can also be creatively controlled by providing alternate sets of bounding box proxies overriding the ones coming from the geometries. |
NEW PER-INSTANCE TIME OFFSET IN SCATTERERSClarisse 3.5 allows you to control, vary and offset the input time of each instance in a scatterer. You can now build complex animations out of a few animated items to allow you to very easily animate massive crowds, simulate blast of winds in forests or create chain-reaction explosions. |
IMPROVED GROUPSGroups are a central piece of Clarisse’s workflow. They describe collections of items and their contents can be manually or automatically set via procedural rules. The new 3.5 group engine offers greater flexibility by allowing you to mix both rules and explicit item referencing. It offers faster performances by letting you bake the content of your groups in place. Automatic shot assembly has also been improved in 3.5: you can now use groups to procedurally build your Shading Layers and automatically assign AOV Stores and Light Path Expressions to your renders. |
FILE REFERENCING IMPROVEMENTSClarisse 3.5 brings you a new faster referencing engine built from ground up. Thanks to this new engine you can now directly create or clear overrides at attribute, object or context level. You will also experience large performance improvements as overrides are now cleared without reloading original references from disk. |
NEW LIGHT PATH EXPRESSIONS (LPEs)The new powerful Light Path Expression, based on Open Shading Language (OSL) standard syntax, gives you fine controls to output custom AOVs describing specific parts of the light simulation for compositing purposes. For example, you can output all contributions of the Sun in your scene or decide to only extract the total reflection resulting from a group of lights of a specific object in your scene. Using LPEs you can also easily output single AOVs for each present light in your scene, offering you the flexibility to adjust your lighting after rendering in a compositing package. |
NEW CRYPTOMATTE SUPPORTClarisse 3.5 natively supports Cryptomatte the open-sourced standard used to create ID mattes. Supported in most compositing packages, Cryptomatte resolves efficiently the tricky issue of automatically generating consistent ID mattes from renders featuring motion blur, transparency and depth of field. |
NEW LOW LIGHT THRESHOLDSpeed up your renders thanks to the new Low Light Threshold in 3.5. Low Light Threshold allows you to let the renderer skip computation on lights that are often almost invisible in your final render. |
NEW LIGHT FALLOFF CONTROLSWhen it comes to simulate photo-realistic illumination it’s great to rely on physical lights.However, sometimes you want to go further to artistically control your lights. Thanks to the new physical light falloff controls, you can now cheat with light’s physics model by manually overriding light intensity over the distance to reach the exact look you want. |
NEW OPENSUBDIV SUPPORTPixar’s OpenSubdiv tessellation engine is now fully supported in Clarisse 3.5. Clarisse supports normals / UV / geometry property (primVar) interpolation as well as semi-sharp creases. Using this new engine you’re sure to get the exact same geometry in Clarisse that you get in your 3D modeling or DCC application supporting OpenSubdiv. |
IMPROVED RAY-TRACING PRECISIONCreating complex and large scale environments may introduce undesirable noisy artefacts due to numerical imprecisions. Formerly, the only solution to remove this noise was to manually tweak the raytrace offset value on each individual object. Thanks to numerous improvements in Clarisse’s 3.5 engine, numerical imprecisions artefacts are now automatically removed from your renders in almost all cases! |
New Standard PBR MaterialClarisse 3.5 introduces a new Standard PBR material largely inspired from the very popular AlSurface. Thanks to the new Standard, you don’t need to construct complex network of nodes anymore to create realistic materials. You directly describe most of real world materials such as skin, plastic, metal, water or car paint in a single node. Even better, since the Standard PBR material virtually allows a ‘1:1’ reuse of parameters value and existing texture maps created for the AlSurface, it’s now possible to convert existing libraries of materials made for Arnold or VRay to Clarisse! |

New Builtin Triplanar NodeClarisse 3.5 introduces a new Triplanar texture node to help texturing geometries without the need of relying on UVs. The Triplanar allows you to specify different textures for each 6 axis. Combined with the latest Object Space feature letting you project on either based or deformed geometry, Triplanar becomes the node of choice to lookdev complex models such as landscapes. New Per-geometry reference frameIn Clarisse 3.5, you now set a custom reference frame on animated geometries to specify the base geometry used for texture projections and geometry sampling.This is extremely useful when doing camera maps as well as point cloud generation. |

enhanced user interface
Clarisse 3.5 user interface has been greatly enhanced with the main target of improving both user experience and workflow. This major refresh is more modern and includes new sets of icons, searchable menus, dockable/undockable widgets, new interface designs improving both readability and usability and various speed improvements throughout the application.
