Mmm interesting, Iā€™m sure someone creative could make something really cool with this. Ctrl+Z even works :slight_smile:

#4

yeah i would be making stuff nonstopā€¦ its awesome lol

Tried to use it for animations - unfortunately you canā€™t easily get at the data, so what looked really impressive when full screen on my desktop came out grotty and scratchy after I recorded it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aLLeyMLVzdU

You can speed up your 2d stuff in cycles with good use of the light path node and emissions. I us 10 to 15 samples for most of my 2d stuff in cycles.

#8

yeah but we cant see our light rays :ā€™(

#9

blender has all the stuff it needs for animationā€¦ it just needs this render engine XD

#10

Wow. itā€™s fantastic and work superb.

#11

Not sure whats so impressive about this, its a fun demo but not like you get any work done in itā€¦ or am I missing something?

#12

I think they like the artistic effects(Itā€™s very soothing, probly the reason itā€™s called the ā€˜Photon Zen Gardenā€™), I guess this can be done with the volumemetrics branch, canā€™t it?

#13

lol just use open GL for 2D.

#14

Iā€™ve prepared a .blend with what I ā€œTHINKā€ that happens in that fancy web light bounce calculatorā€¦
Is this right?
