Particles to #OpenVDB with remote converter (Dataset from OpenGADGET-3 by L. Tornatore) #bspace #b3d #HPC

After adjusting the shader, the galaxy looks better. #b3d #bspace #ChaNGa

We are developing #bspace add-on for #b3d

Free workshop tomorrow - [HYBRID] SPACE: High-Performance Computing (HPC) Visualization events.it4i.cz/event/321/ (Dataset from ChaNGa by R.Wissing)

Interactive tracking in 3d viewport #b3d #AR #OpenCV

Another use case for Blender's IK (interactive with G + mouse) #b3d #Robotics

All MoonRay materials in one place (except one: UsdPreviewSurface) #b3d #OpenMoonRay

@LordOdin3D I could not find it. I work on my own implementation. twitter.com/MilJaros/statu…

@MilJaros Does moonray have a blender implementation?

Base Material: MoonRay vs. Cycles #b3d #OpenMoonRay

Volume rendering of cosmological simulations. Thanks to the tutorial from @ShrimpCreative we achieved a very nice rendering performance. #b3d #OpenVDB #OpenGADGET #HPCSE2024

First successful build of py_scene_rdl2 library and its import into Blender on Windows (no USD, no dynamic lib DSO, only one PYD). #b3d #OpenMoonRay

@IngoWald @stefanzellmann Working with the #MoanaIslandScene data-set again was great and fun. Thank you.

New paper pre-print for our HPG23 paper (with @MilJaros and @stefanzellmann) on data-parallel multi-gpu path tracing: sci.utah.edu/~wald/Publicat…. Main thing for this method is just how super simple it actually is.

@KillionaireGFX I created a singularity (something like docker) with CentOS7 and built OpenMoonray in it. Then I took the scene_rdl2 code and ran it under Windows and made it into a library and linked it to Blender. Blender creates an rdla/b and run Moonray. That was the easy part:)

@MilJaros How'd you get moonray to work?

Cycles (left) vs. #openmoonray (right) - first test with custom RDL2 exporter (without USD) #b3d

@SHerholz82 Only the diffuse color and the environment map were set. I'm still analyzing the other parameters in Moonray's BaseMaterial and trying to figure out what they do or don't do:) When rendering from Blender I use the sqrt() function for the total number of samples per pixel.

@MilJaros Nice. Looks like the roughness values are interpreted differently by Moonray. Probably the standard a^2 vs a problem.

@dddjef I feel like the text from the book by "M. Watt et al." has come alive:) About stability and speed - it is too early to say anything:) About ease of use - lots of parameters to set - my very frequently asked question: What does this parameter do?

@MilJaros What are your first impressions with moonray? Stability, speed, easy to use?
