• Fixes an issue of failed render when adding image based lighting on some GPUs
• Misc bug fixes

1.3.0 – Nov 02, 2018
• 3D Library – Nearly 200 textured 3D models loaded with a single click, parented to a controlling Null layer. The library is available for download from the Preset window.
• Connect – connect physical particles to each other using various constraint types, for creating Springs and Chains.
• Planar reflection – Have object reflect off of planes.
• Model Path Deform – Deform models in 3D space using masks or paths defined with AE lights.
• Groups – Transform model parts by OBJ groups.
• Subsurface scattering – Create organic lighting look for surfaces.
• New Material options – Refraction , Emissive , Adjust Environment and Reflection .
• Model node as emitter source – Create emitter source with model node and apply deformers.
• Speed – Up to 15% faster render.
• Gloss / Roughness – Inverted for easier import PBR materials.
• Model node – Added segments to extruded path for better deformation.
• Model node – Auto load 3D Model material textures on import.
• Model node – Respect node active state when connected to particle nodes.
• Particle node – Set ‘Use model’ to either ‘All’ or ‘Random’ for when multiple model nodes are connected.
• Transform node – Use Null layer for easier transformation control.
• Physics -Better interactive responsiveness while tweaking physical particles.
• Physical forces – New spherical type: ‘Particle birth’. used to attract particles to their birth position.
• Physics forces – New parameter for spherical forces: ‘To distance’. Factors the distance to the influence.
• Main effect render options – Make environment layer visible in render.
• Main effect render options -Select ‘Helpers’ render color.
• Z buffer – 3D models will respect external Z-buffer and obstruction layer.
• Fixed an issue where normal bump map would give incorrect results.
• Fixed an issue that may slow render in machines with many cpu cores.
