Neon 1.0 Beta 3 Now Available

Hi all!

There's a new Neon! 

http://v5.rhino3d.com/groups/neon

Thanks for all of the comments we've had in the last week - and to those of you who have submitted crash reports.  We've been able to make Neon more stable and more complete as a result.  Here's a complete list of changes since Beta 2.

Features

- Support Linear workflow (with latest Rhino 5.0 Beta)

- Support Brazil Angular Blend as a texture in a child slot

- Support Brazil World Angular Blend as a texture in a child slot

- Support Brazil Physical Sky environment

Bug Fixes

- Fixed a crash that occurs if the user closes Rhino or Neon while there is a Neon update in progress

- Added a system to eliminate problems with coincidental faces

- Fix updating a Brazil Advanced Material taking too long

- Enabled back face reflections for non fully transparent materials

- Fixed Basic material emission slot not working properly when reflected

- Fixed Brazil GI Environment having the wrong projection and ignoring the mapping of the texture

- Sped up adding and removing lights from the scene by a large factor

- Fix ground plane not emitting or receiving GI rays

- Fix ground plane "show underside" option not being hooked up

Known Issues

- Brazil Physical sky color scale is slightly off

- Brazil Physical sky will render a black sun if the sun is below horizon and Render sun is enabled

- There is now a hardcoded limit of 60 active lights in the scene

- Object to Object GI bleeds through ground plane

Enjoy!
