RELEASE NOTES FOR MARI 2.0v1

Release Date

14 March 2013

Best Bits of

2.0v1

• Layers, accessed from either the Layers menu or from within the Layers

palette, allow you to set up complex layer stacks for channels. For more

information regarding layer integration, please refer to the Layers

chapter in the Mari

User Guide

• Procedurals and adjustments can now be added using the Layers menu or

palette. Procedurals and adjustments contain many of the former shader

modules.

• Channels now contain layer stacks with mask, procedural, and

adjustment data. Channels can be used in shader component inputs to

specify how shaders impact individual channels.

• Shaders no longer operate on a modular system. Instead they use inputs

to control how lighting, ambient occlusion, and specularity (among other

components) interact with given channels.

• Channels, shaders, and layers can now be imported and exported, either

in a full or flattened state.

• Sharing layers into a layer stack, or as a new channel, allows you to

quickly transfer paint made in one layer to another.

• New selection methods allow you to select, lock and hide patches,

objects, channels, and faces (or a combination of these).

System

Requirements

Officially supported operating systems

• Windows 7 64-bit

• Linux 64-bit operating system (Fedora 12 or Red Hat Enterprise Linux

5.4)

NOTE: Some newer Linux distributions have changed their network device

configuration handling and won’t work with Mari without some

configuration changes. Known affected distributions at this time include

Fedora 16, Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6, and CentOS 6 on certain, notably

Dell, hardware. Please see our FAQs for more information:
