A new free update to Reality 2 is available. This version include vital fixes for the ACSEL system that are recommended for all users of Reality 2. 

Here is the list of the changes:

• Fixed bug in ACSEL that caused the stripping custom metal's color and texture. The values were actually kept in the shader database but not re-used. No loss of data but it was corrupting the material definition in Reality. This fix restores the data present in the database. 
• Fixed glossy material in SLG. Previously it was not changing much between lowest and highest values for glossiness strength. 
• Added automatic clamping of glossiness for diffuse + specular for SLG. Diffuse color + specular color cannot be equal or higher than 1.0 (equivalent to 255 in integer notation). If that happens Reality automatically adjusts the specular color to be a lower value within the limit. In addition to respect the constraints of SLG, this clmaping brings better realism and greatly reduces render noise and "fireflies". 

You can obtain the update by simply restarting Studio and following the instructions for the download or you can use the following page to download the new installers:
