Only Intel Embree or whatever. Seems like | an odd choice. | | Wish it had support for Nvidia because the API looks very | powerful. | skratlo wrote: | I consider that a pro, no reliance on big-tech proprietary | stuff. +1 for the author not going that way | Arelius wrote: | I mean the whole point is being small c++ libraries for | rendering. CUDA sortof defeats the whole stated goal. | | Also Embree isn't really comparable to CUDA, Embree is | libraries for BVH generation and traversal, CUDA is a language | and tools for GPU programming... | ilaksh wrote: | Oh I assumed that Embree was some new Intel graphics thing. | ilaksh wrote: | Forget I said CUDA then. The point is that it would be nice | to run it on highly parallel hardware. | amrox wrote: | This appears to be unrelated to https://www.yoctoproject.org ? | liaukovv wrote: | I wonder if yocto is a trademark | | They sell "yocto compatible" labels, so there is something to | consider | gpderetta wrote: | Yocto- is a metric system prefix. I doubt that anybody can | claim copyright. | liaukovv wrote: | Yeah just like you cant claim "apple" | incrudible wrote: | "Yocto Project" is a registered trademark. | | https://tmsearch.uspto.gov/ | zokier wrote: | I know "physically based" means practically just "derived from | Disney BRDF", but it still bothers me as a term. As a model it | has still plenty of shortcomings in terms on how well it matches | actual physics, and while true that it is _more_ physically based | than some previous shaders it feels weird place to draw the line. | skratlo wrote: | It's great to see projects like this, it makes programming fun. | Bite sized pieces that can be easily held in the head and | reasoned about. ___________________________________________________________________ (page generated 2021-03-25 23:01 UTC)
