### **Geometry**

- Crash in certain cases after deleting multiple objects.
- Crash with specific multi-voxel displaced mesh.
- Progressive increase of frame render time and RAM with many deforming meshes.

### **Live Link**

- Wrong update of UVs when applying materials or changing the texture size during Live Link from SketchUp.
- Video textures not updating during Live Link from 3dsMax when changing the current frame.

### **Volumes**

- Wrong rendering of fire behind smoke.

### **Simulator**

- Memory allocated for fluid simulation when no simulation exists in the scene.
