My introduction

[ardook]

Hi everyone,

This is my first post on ompf2!!!!!!
I'll look forward to collaborating and sharing ideas with all the other ray tracing enthusiasts on this board and beyond. Here is the link to my little path tracer called Noor https://ardook.github.io/noor/.

P.S. thx Jacco for helping me out with the account.

hi, i must warn you: this forum is more or less dead.

Hi mpeterson,

I noticed that too. It's not just this forum though. Ray tracing is dying a slow death I'm still hopeful, although it's getting really hard to stay hopeful.

Welcome. Very good BRDFs do you have

Can you say more to the used Algorithms of your Brdf-Stuff?

[ardook]

Thanks XMAMan.

My BSDF system is based on PBRT and Mitsuba BSDF and material system. They are both simple yet powerful, although I find the Mitsuba's system to be more versatile. Most of the interesting materials are based on the mixed/blend material system of PBRT and Mitsuba (e.x. rusted metal). I haven't implemented the Disney BSDF system yet (it's at the bottom of my to do list). All the PBR materials are from the Substance Source (https://www.allegorithmic.com/products/substance-source).

I will be adding captions to the screen shots some time soon. At the moment, all my time is spent on transitioning from the FBX SDK to the Maya API.

Thanks for your reply ardook.

I think my next task in my Raytracer will be the improvement of the BSDF-Stuff and your answer is a good startingpoint for me.
