Nov 2022 update to order of the wolf

in Technical Help (nuts n bolts)

There was an update to the 3DL materials.which the readme describes as:

  • 2022-11-02 3DL materials updated to help with render engine changes, final result not until rendered.

Does anyone know what this is about?  The DS change log doesn't show any 3DL changes since 4.16.1.11:

  • Resolved potential class/symbol name collisions between the 3Delight and NVIDIA Iray renderer plugins, relating to IPR context

I'm particularly interested in whether the changes affect earlier versions of DS (specifically 4.8).

    I wonder if it is actually a fix for an older issue - without details it's hard to say. Sorry, I don't have anything definite to offer.

    I looked hard to find a difference, and it appears that the "Lighting Model" has been changed from "Plastic" to "Glossy (Metallic)" when applying the material presets, and maybe a bitmap or two for Specularity/Bump/Displacement/Reflection (didn't notice)...
