hdRstr v0.1.3-beta available

Changes:
  • Added version for Autodesk Maya 2022 (with maya-usd 0.12.0)
  • Subdivision is working now. CPU based for now (not the fastest...)
  • Added first version of UsdLuxShaping (ConeAngle works, ConeSoftness is buggy, IES profiles not yet, ShapingFocus* not yet)
  • Texture cache is now a singleton. Switching views (delegate instances) preserves loaded textures.
  • Added importance sampling for dome lights. Better directional light.
  • Light emission from invisible objects is fixed.
  • Fixed multiplication of color and texture values.
  • Some fixes for material changes.
