Lens Optics
Lens Optics Lite 1.5 for Blender 5.3 and 5.4. Windows x64. Package version 1.5.1.
Additional download with Cycles CPU and NVIDIA OptiX compatibility, including native Gaussian scans, independent camera focus and Walk Navigation. Lite keeps the same 10 free looks and cinematic aberration from 0 to 2.
IMPORTANT GPU SETUP: Select NVIDIA OptiX in Preferences > System and GPU Compute in Cycles. Leave the separate Open Shading Language MATERIAL checkbox OFF. The Lens Optics custom camera still uses its camera shader. Use CPU for scenes requiring OSL Script material nodes. Install the ZIP directly and restart Blender. Enable only one Lens Optics edition.
Tested on Windows with RTX 3090 Ti and NVIDIA driver 591.86. Tested 5.3 Beta builds: fa392fded75e and 1878423c3717. Tested 5.4 Alpha builds: 7a8f04b3bb5a and 45e7704f386b. Ordinary scene checks passed for both editions. Garden Gaussian GPU renders, focus, lens character and finishing passed in the October 22 builds. Other hardware and future development builds need validation.
Use the original 1.5 download for Blender 4.5 through 5.2. Existing 1.5 and 1.0 downloads remain available. This Windows package does not add Apple Metal, Linux, EEVEE or Octane support. Read the included README for installation, viewport settings and troubleshooting.
