Week 12

What I did this week

I spend the rest of the week on volumetrics. Got excited about it somehow. :)
- Read pbrt chapters 11 (Volume Scattering) and 16 (Volume Rendering), quite advanced topics, but it helped me to understand some basics.
- Did some planning and discussion with Brecht about Volumes in Cycles. Tried to get some code working on my own, but that didn't worked out well.
- Today (Friday) I got a cleaned up Volume patch and worked on this. The original patch is from storm, and Stuart did some work there and improved it. I spend the day with cleanup and refactoring of Blender Node code and SVM registration, which in total made the patch about 300 lines smaller and simpler.
- Current patch, status and docs can be found here: http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/User:DingTo/Volume

Continue work on Volumes. Further cleanup and I'd like to get the Transparent Volume node working. Now that there is a basic implementation and the Henyey-Greenstein phase function, transparent shouldn't be difficult.

None.
