SolidAngle Softimage to Arnold (Sitoa) v2.5.0 Win x64 – MNT
Arnold is a global illumination system incorporating modern ray tracing and physically based shading techniques. Arnold offers greater speed, more power and higher quality. This gives studios using Arnold a distinct competitive advantage ? especially in big-budget productions.
Over the past few years, Arnold has been used to create unique visual effects in major VFX feature films, animated features, and high-end commercial projects. Sony Pictures Imageworks was the catalyst for the professional adoption of the product and will use Arnold in all upcoming films.
Sitoa v2.5.0
– Improved the scene exporting time with light associations.
– and token tag support added to sib_image_clip
– sta_vector_displacement shader added. This shader has support for tangent-space vector displacement.
This is meant to supercede and replace the old sta_displacement shader, which is now deprecated.
– 25% faster bump mapping (less shader evaluations per call).
– Faster ray acceleration structure build (30-80%, depending on platform and compiler).
– Several other speed and memory optimizations.
– Auto-instancing of standins whose ?Path? attribute points to an .ass file; subsequent standins trying to load the
same .ass file will instance the previously loaded geometry, potentially saving tons of both memory and disk I/O.
Thanks to MNT

Bring us Arnold 4 or 5 what we sould do with 2.5?!?!?! (vray user)
Arnold is the engine, SITOA is the Softimage connection to Arnold … so they have different numbering as they are different things (a 3d user, not any engine/renderer fanboy)
LOL (an amuzed guy)
sitoa 2.5.0 is arnold core 4.0.10.1. if you turn on log to console with
verbose level “info” you can see this: Arnold 4.0.10.1 windows icc110 oiio1012 rlm932 (build date: Oct 22 2012)
you better should take a look into the forum for more info on this release:
