whoa! Radiango!
looks great!

does anyone have any suggestions as to where to go feature wise as to make it original ?

try inventing your own system of controled noise removal so that like details are preserved- like set up starting passes that take normal date and object id data and distance data and use that to control the noise removal.

f**k

is it me or did everybody started to code his own renderer? It's shocking how many good coders are here at this forum.
looks excellent radiance !!!

looking forward

How or where you guys learn this crap? Must be on the back cover of a cereal box or something. I must be eating the wrong shit....

Coding renderers seems to have become very fashionnable lately... My only coding background is Visua Basic, 5 years ago... is it still called coding or is VB called a joke today?

(or has i always been? lol *shame*)

Too bad i have very basic math backgrounds (except in statistics, but for some of yous its still pretty basic).

That is awesome radiance!

I have a total respect to people who know how to program stuff like that. Ok. You can learn how to code but math.. I've never really had a brain for higher math needed for this kind of things.
Well.. I also haven't been without internet so long

How knows..maybe that's the key

Finally a preview mode for indigo

Well no offence to those growing their own, and I know its in OT..., but as a general comment I didnt contribute to Indigo site upkeep to give blog space for other renderers

so I hope we don't get tooo many people posting development commentaries

Therefor we all would love to see some CUDA implementations for Indigo too

We should start a Donation to buy Ono a GF8800, this would speed things up

I LOLed (oh, and - "You eat pieces of shit for breakfast?")

The reason so many people are trying to write a renderer themselves is Indigo itself!

One freaking man, wrote Indigo!

That gives all us programmers hope.

Consider that, vs. say Maxwell, which was written by a team, with funding, etc.

Great start

One OT question: what does the new side-layout do?

One [REQ] about the forums:
as there already are, about, 3-5 renderers in development, how would it be, to have an own subforum?
"Development of other renderers"

Radiance; I had always wondered why renderers only used cpu as render power and not the GPU. The only one I've seen that uses the GPU (so far) is PARTHENON, which uses DX9.0c, so it requires an Nvidia 6800 video card or a higher one. Your approach of using Nvidia's CUDA SDK would be revolutionary!

Go ahead, make it grow. You're doing a great job. And as the guys said above, my respects to you! Programming this kind of app is no easy task!

regards,
Alvaro

Its not revolutionary to use CUDA. Anyone thats into raytracing that read the press release from Nvidia had the same first thing pop into their mind.

Really? Darn! I thought the wheel was being reinvented here!

...mmm digging..googling...errmmmmhhh...CUDA....darn!
