It's still experimental but I created few animations.<br />http://vimeo.com/47745057<br />http://vimeo.com/57552513<br />Now I'm working on more complicated animation. <br />I would like to share my workflow and write some tutorials.<br />One of the reasons I have not done it so far is that my English is not good.<br /><br />atanas_tsekov@abv.bg<br />Naskohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04881446491872597819noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5393960639543725102.post-64463337026322136552013-06-27T19:51:41.318+01:002013-06-27T19:51:41.318+01:00Hey man,

I would like to say that your work is great and i am impressed with people who are ideas like you and who believe in for long time even if the road is difficult. I'm really sorry about the situation.<br />I have a small company in switzerland call "L'Avenue Digital Media" and we use blender 3d for a long time, approximately 6 year. I'm interested for your solution but i don't now how it work. Can you tell me where the code is and how to use it please ? I do not guarantee its use quickly, but I'll do my best. I could publish regularly tests on my blog gregdesign.ch as I usually does. In the meantime, please accept my best regards.PYTAGUS TVhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14920888744118189828noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5393960639543725102.post-27632966304921200772013-04-21T18:32:30.097+01:002013-04-21T18:32:30.097+01:00Hi,
I followed efforts of blendertorenderman commu...Hi,<br />I followed efforts of blendertorenderman community.<br />I am not a developer but when I tried shaderman or ribmosaïc. <br />I felt like it could be possible to do a render with blender and a renderman engine like aqsis or pixie.<br />Unfortunately, there were always frustating limits.<br />When I was learning ribmosaic; I had difficulties to render textured objects with Pixie.<br /><br />So, I decided to use aqsis which was working like a charm with ribmosaïc and blender 2.45. <br /><br />But at this time, aqsis did not support multithreading and it was rendering really slowly.<br /><br />When, aqsis started to have multi-threading. Blender's 2.5 Project begans.It broke and eventually killed Ribmosaïc and by a matter of consequence, interest of community for renderman engines.<br /><br />At the end of 2.5 API unstability, Matt Erb did a 3Delight exporter. <br />It awoke the interest of new blender users attracted by new 2.5 interface.Some even downloaded a free version limited to 2 cores.<br />when Opensource renderers have not this limitations.<br /><br />Others members of blender community tried to make exporters for aqsis and pixie.<br />Actually, there is an exporter for blender 2.66 to pixie2.2.5. <br />http://blenderartists.org/forum/showthread.php?251446-PIXIE-2-2-5-3Delight-Exporter-(Updated-For-2-66)&p=2312087&viewfull=1#post2312087<br />Pixie is more than two years old. <br /><br />But there is no exporter to Aqsis 1.8.2 which have 9 months.<br />With no valid exporter, I was not able to really test PBGI in aqsis.<br />You can make a render with fake SSS in makehuman but to do it in blender, you have to use blender 2.49 and ribmosaic.<br /><br />Now, that blender 2.67 will have pyNodes and finally be ready to use node editor for renderman shader in blender; there is no more interest from RSL dev.<br /><br />When hobbyists interest for 3D is rising up (blender does not need a graphic card. It is compatible with Intel HD Graphics); I really think that this opensource pipeline project should receive a last effort to bring Renderman to the mass of people who don't have an Nvidia Titan card to render an animation with Cycles.<br /><br />If someone could make an exporter for blender2.67 to aqsis1.8.2; I think that it really would be used. Take a look at all the "How to denoïse my render ? How to make a faster render ?" threads that were created since Cycles is in blender official release. zeaurohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07319150532046752536noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5393960639543725102.post-89733928425382468812012-10-06T22:18:42.715+01:002012-10-06T22:18:42.715+01:00sorry if it's open source why is it unlikely t...sorry if it's open source why is it unlikely to come into blender?Lucianohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09634802217166814912noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5393960639543725102.post-78442338921810144992012-08-01T07:04:18.373+01:002012-08-01T07:04:18.373+01:00I definitely keep watch of this, thank you for sha...I definitely keep watch of this, thank you for sharing this information.<br /><a href="http://www.leanfd.com.au/" rel="nofollow">spider plough</a>thom.rhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04615561830668978998noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5393960639543725102.post-24744081286455872742011-08-30T23:47:39.906+01:002011-08-30T23:47:39.906+01:00Great work guys.

Aqsis does _not_ have ray tracing, the above image is rendered using a point based microbuffer rendering technique, which is definitely different from us supporting raytracing. <br /><br />Point based GI (PBGI) shares some use cases with raytracing (such as computing ambient occlusion), but there are some things it cannot do effectively, such as sharp shadows, reflections and refractions. Things PBGI can do include ambient occlusion, radiosity and subsurface scattering calculations, and I'd like to implement all these in time.<br /><br />Finally, you're right to emphasize the experimental nature of all this! It's very definitely not for public consumption yet (as you can see by the artifacts in the image above, I've yet to solve some issues).<br /><br />~ChrisChris Fosterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05377091131707362075noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5393960639543725102.post-75275640500226282082011-05-02T10:04:57.827+01:002011-05-02T10:04:57.827+01:00It is obviously true that for each project manager...It is obviously true that for each project manager take care of a lot of things like managing the documents, collaboration as well as communicating with the team, conducting frequent meetings with the team so as to ensure that every one is updated regarding any recent changes made in the action plan.
