Clarisse supports normals / UV / geometry property (primVar) interpolation as well as semi-sharp creases. Pixar’s OpenSubdiv tessellation engine is now fully supported in Clarisse 3.5. 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. When 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. When faint lights have their level of contribution under this user threshold, they are automatically skipped from the lighting computation resulting in improved performances with almost no visual loss. Low Light Threshold allows you to let the renderer skip computation on lights that are often almost invisible in your final render.

Speed up your renders thanks to the new Low Light Threshold in 3.5. 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. NEW PER-INSTANCE TIME OFFSET IN SCATTERERSĬlarisse 3.5 allows you to control, vary and offset the input time of each instance in a scatterer. Collision detection can also be creatively controlled by providing alternate sets of bounding box proxies overriding the ones coming from the geometries. Overlapping instances in your scatterers can now be automatically culled to create more natural distribution. NEW SCATTERER INSTANCE COLLISION DETECTIONĬlarisse 3.5 introduces an all-new fast and flexible instance collision detection for scatterers to greatly improve the realism of your scenes. 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.

In 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.
