Arnold 6.0.4 update plus new features for 3DS Max and Cinema 4D

Autodesk has announced an update to the Arnold Core, introducing several new features including:

• Automatic file path remapping
• Rim light control for the toon shader
• Performance improvements on Windows with many cores and texture-heavy scenes
• Upgraded OSL
• Several GPU and USD enhancements and more

The integration plugins for Cinema4D and 3ds Max have also been updated adding some interesting new features. 3DS Max gains a new RenderView mode, essentially a dedicated IPR framebuffer for real-time feedback.  3ds Max also gains support for TyFlow instancing, and baking improvements. 

The Cinema 4D integration adds a brand new scattering tool for distributing instances over a surface, as well as viewport proxy settings for procedurals and several changes in the Tx texture workflow.
