Nice addons, but what I'm missing the most in this update is a possibility to set an initial state for the particles and of course p-p collisions. Not to mention fluids system.

[bogscave]

The material Baking option is the most useful update in redshift for me xD

[sophielake]

I love the detailed material explanation

[rainerrossgoderer]

Is it possible again to put a costum map like a ramp into a domelight material? Missing that big time.

[namedia]

To what noseman says around 1:16:00 - i really experienced that, whenever i have a feel that a file seems corrupted and it crashes again for some reason (or cant even be loaded), a drivers update gets it back on track in 80% of the cases.

[MrJemabaris]

So do I understand it correct that Adobe and Autodesk are already working on fragmentig the "standard" for the industry by introducing the open PBR shader alongside materialX?

[Bryanrabid]

Maxon really needs to optimize and expand the GTLF export, and add a glb import function. Getting lapped by Blender.
