Week 3
What I did this week
- I finished the Vector Transform node, which is now working in both SVM/OSL, and it behaves identical. It took me some time to learn about the Transform matrices we have (especially the Object space transform case) but after some explanation by Brecht in IRC I understood the concept behind it.
- I also added two new nodes (as additional task), which have been requested by some artists: Separate / Combine HSV nodes. They are inside my branch as well. Screenshot: http://www.pasteall.org/pic/show.php?id=54828
- I started with the Ray Depth feature, and I have looked into 2 different ways of implementing it:
- Ray Depth output inside the Light Path node. This way, we can get the current bounce (0, 1, 2...) as info output for the shader nodes.
- WIP patch: http://www.pasteall.org/43776/diff
- Example render: http://www.pasteall.org/pic/show.php?id=54930
- Here we use the Ray Depth output (0 and 1 in this example) to apply different materials, and this way we see where we have a bounce and where only direct lighting is used. However, there are some weird artefacts, not sure what's going on here yet.
- Per shader bounce limiter. With this method, we can limit the ray bounces to an object on a per shader level, instead of only globally for the entire scene.
- WIP patch: http://www.pasteall.org/43779/diff
- Example render: http://www.pasteall.org/pic/show.php?id=54931
- Here we have 3 spheres with a glass shader and (from left to right) 1, 2 and 3 max bounces set per shader.
- Ray Depth output inside the Light Path node. This way, we can get the current bounce (0, 1, 2...) as info output for the shader nodes.
Next week
I still have an exam next week, so will spend some time on preparations again. As I am done with all my nodes though, which was my goal for the first half of GSoC, I am far ahead in schedule.
I will keep working on the Ray depth feature next week and hopefully have a better implementation then.
Questions
Mainly about the Ray Depth feature, am I on the right track with these or would another way of implementing them be better? And why do I have these artefacts with the feature as part of the Light Path node?
