Hi, I've left a comment some time ago at a GitHub issue about this, but I think it is relevant here too. Have you thought about using SQLite as a generic format for storing all the information that is currently spreadout in multiple files? It could support storing any metadata. https://www.sqlite.or...

I feel like just this PhotonGI feature would be enough for a final 2.2 release, no other additions needed.

Hey,

I did a quick search and found plenty of people asking about an update for OpenMP on VS, so I think the answer is no .

I've found however that it is possible to use Clang with VS, so maybe that's an option.

I'd like to see a "haze" option that fades distant objects automatically into the sky color

Isn't this the Mist image pipeline plugin?

How would it help to adjust both rather than just one? I believe that after reversing the gamma for both sides they will be a multiplication away from each other. So you would need to reverse the gamma for both sides, multiply one of them to make them equal and then apply the gamma correction again.

I think it should be possible to make the algorithm detect noise more in tune with the human brain - maybe use some log scale for brighter values? Probably gamma-correcting the pixel before calculating the convergence since this is designed to approximate our eyes behavior, no? The idea is the same...

Hi, Maybe you have already found this, but the adaptative sampling behavior is described here: https://forums.luxcorerender.org/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=83 It seems that the sampler uses the convergence value as a metric to know which pixels should be more sampled than the other. How exactly this con...

You could try to rename your addon folder: https://forums.luxcorerender.org/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=622&p=6340#p6334 Maybe one of your installed addons causes the crash. Finally i've done a w10 reset. and blender work but all gpu render now take a while (veryyy loong kernel compilation time, ne...

Hello,

As of today, the PBRT authors have released the third release of their book online

Hi,

As far as I know there is no convert button in this new version.

To develop the add-on you should know mostly Python although there is some C++ code if I'm not mistaken.
