- Chaos Group License Server is updated to version 5.5.0
- V-Ray Swarm is updated to version 1.4.4
- The Chaos Group License Server web page now automatically opens after successful V-Ray installation
- The Material Random Color render element now correctly generates unique colors for materials passed through a Two Sided shader or ones using the Translucency attribute
- The way materials are stored in a Proxy Mesh Component is updated. This resolves various issues with 3rd party plugins utilizing V-Ray Proxies

- Adding a Bitmap diffuse texture to a material (or loading one with such texture assigned) no longer activates the SketchUp’s ‘Colorize’ material option
- Coat layers (Diffuse or Reflection) added to a material that has no other base layer no longer display the full set of VRay Mtl parameters
- CUDA hybrid rendering in bucket mode no longer leads to exception in V-Ray Core when NVLink is used
