RTX Rendering#

In this release, we’ve exposed an option which allows you to enable a preview of a new RTX Real-Time mode which will eventually replace the current real-time mode. It provides an improved user experience by having fewer settings to adjust, while achieving closer parity with the RTX Interactive mode’s visual fidelity and feature set such as Light Linking, AOVs, and Multi Matte. It is backwards compatible and should result in, at a minimum, the same quality or better than the current one without having to change any setting or content.

Material Graph Editor’s Node List has new groupings for MDL shaders.
