E-Cycles 2.81 released!

Hello everyone,

the new E-Cycles builds based on final Blender 2.81 are available now in your downloads.

Changes since 2.80 include:

September update:

1.  1. Completely reworked AI denoiser:

   - faster by default, particularly on multi-GPU setups

   - much better memory management thanks to a patch by Stefan Werner

   - streamlined denoiser UI

   - automatic optimizations of the denoising tree. Improves denoising and rendering speed.

 2. Faster baking:

   - baking is now up to 20x faster by taking smart decision for optimal performance.

   - baking will require a bit less memory too.

October update:

1.  - added a remove double modifier.
2.  - added an experimental bridge modifier.
3.  - added bevel and crease weight to the boolean modifier for non-destructive and easy to use bevel after boolean.
4. 
   

November update:

1.  - out of core Rendering for RTX (speed limited by system Ram, may require Quadros or Teslas for good performance)
2.  - much faster rendering for RTX, now up to 2.5x faster than Blender OptiX
3.  - further optimizations for CUDA

Happy Blending!
