Indigo 0.9 test 2

Post by **OnoSendai** » Thu Jul 19, 2007 7:40 pm

This version should be a little bit faster than test 1.
It also only uses the SSE1 enhanced x86 instruction set instead of SS2.

Changelog:

0.9 test 2
* added --ptest option (performance test)
* fixed crash at tree build time on degenerate triangles
* updated diffuse_transmitter material to use 'albedo_spectrum' instead of 'colour' like the diffuse material.
* sped up splatting a little
* misc performance increases.

0.9 test 1
* added indigo_console build
* moved OpenEXR to dlls
* made image saves less likely to get corrupted (saves to temp image then moves to final path)
* added shutter_open_duration (aka shutter speed)
* made diffuse material use 'albedo_spectrum' instead of 'colour'
* made phong material use 'diffuse_albedo_spectrum' instead of 'diffuse'
* rgb_spectrum now requires the 'gamma' element. Use 2.2 as default.
* added checks for SSE and SSE2
* fixed bug with light sampling
* fixed material binding to spheres
* added atmosphere medium type
* added extra_atmospheric parameter to sky_light
* added ray_origin_nudge_distance parameter to inifile
* messed around with refraction code a little
* fixed .bmps loading upside down
* added exit portals
* added textured emitters

Thanx Ono! I will update the Blendigo and test ist immediately!

BTW What is performance test doing?

--ptest just turns off the image display and image saving, and sets the halt time to 30s.

Did you do any bugfixes from 0.9 test 1 to 0.9 test 2?

There are surely some bugs in 0.9 test 1. I had some problems with specular materials / sss. Didn't test extensively to pinpoint the bug, due to lack of time. But some other guys in this forum had the same errors...

Great, with this release, indigo 0.9 doesn't crash anymore ! (couldn't render a single scene with test1).
And with exit portals, oh my !

Faster and SSE compatible? great!

so, it basically is slight bug-fixing and speedgaining relase, with better compatibility?

Thx for this release.

Am I doing something wrong, or exit portals work only with sun light ? My pictures stays black if I use a mesh emitter outside of my room.

(The reason I used a mesh emitter instead of a sun is that I wanted to simulate a blueish moon light like we often see with night scenes in movies)

bluish moonlight can be tonemapped, I'd say^^
