So, is quite enough :mad:, i can’t wait, so we need start guessing and speculating about the Brecht secret code project, please any suggestion any speculation, no matter how stupid or crazy it could be, post it here so this would be a big brainstorming, and hopefully we could get near to the true.
I am speculating about the specs for Durian:
a) New approach about micropolygon render? like a new technique developed by Brecht?
b) A new render architecture? or something related to the render engine structure?
c)Something related to any physically animation system, so the character animation could be more easy and more realistic?
d)Any fast global illumination technique?
e) Could Brecht and Jahka join forces and be developing something like node base particle system for SFX?
f)Something related to any mocap technique?
Also that project could be related to any feature like any other 3D package doesn’t have yet. so if it is so, it could be hard to know.
Or he maybe programing what is to become the motion tracking and render Api finalization with new shading language that puts even Mental ray or Vray to shame. He will develop a whole new rendering engine that will be unstoppable on all fronts, and just to help the Durian team, will program that button that so many have been wishing for for ages, the “Render the most kickass movies imaginable” button. :D:D
Method is simple, enter the story script and press the button, blender then reads the minds of all and any teenager within two miles of blender consol, to automatically program blender to render out the wildest, sickest, you mention it type of movie, and then the durian team just sits next to blender imagining the most inconceivable movie imagined by man, and blender renders that with the fantastic new rendering engine that he also integrated into blender…
That is what I think he has been up to.
Oh yeah and Cheese rendering. Great PDF found there @ndy;)
Genscher also said on his blog that some blender developer is working with OpenCL, and seeing as it will probably play a big role in blender’s future i wouldnt be suprised if this developer is Brecht.
Allowing access to the Bullet library from Blender iso BGE would be nice and is a stated aim of the project I believe. (…or is this beneath the awesome coding skills of Brecht? )
if it is something with opencl then i think it’s most likely related to the compositor and speeding up 4K resolutions. since with current gpus raytracers or physics calculations still are very tricky to do but processing lots of pixels is something they are made for so it should be quite feasible.
probably not OpenCL since AFAIK he started this before the spec was even available let alone the drivers. Im guessing something tricky and render related.
in theory he could have started things in Cuda, because before the specs of opencl were made available. (because it was allready made public that cuda to opencl porting wouldnt be to hard)
but yeah… it’s unlikely if he started on his project before that.
He will develop a whole new rendering engine that will be unstoppable on all fronts, and just to help the Durian team, will program that button that so many have been wishing for for ages, the “Render the most kickass movies imaginable” button. :D:D
