Rust: Experimental real-time global illumination renderer
- berkut 5y agoIf you are going to use the HN 'catnip' of 'Rust', surely the title should be: "Kajiya: Experimental real-time global illumination renderer made with Vulcan and Rust"? 'Rust' is not the name of the project?
- simion314 5y agoYeap, why would someone hide the actual project name and replace it with Rust, we should flag this shit to get better quality submissions. Athis moment tile is "Rust: Experimental real-time global illumination renderer"
- OtomotO 5y ago*Vulkan... Sorry, this always bothers me.

- denysvitali 5y agoWow, we're one step closer to the Rust-lang and Rust-game crossover
- nextaccountic 5y agoSo, this is realtime, right? How hard would be integrating it with Bevy?
- cropcirclbureau 5y agoSomeone already did in the Discord.
- nextaccountic 5y agoIn the Bevy discord? Is it on Github?
- lights0123 5y agoThe message is https://discord.com/channels/691052431525675048/692648638823923732/924968116818173992 https://discord.com/channels/691052431525675048/692648638823..., and you can see the video demo at https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/692648638823923732/924968114834276372/Bevy_Kajiya_Playground_2021-12-27_05-07-51.mp4 https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/692648638823923732/92.... They say: > I'm working on cleaning up the plugin I hope to put something out there this week
- IshKebab 5y agoThis looks cool. A video demo would be nice.
- gmueckl 5y agoDid the author ask James Kajiya whether he is comfortable with giving hos name to this project?
- psyc 5y agoI wondered the same thing. He’s still alive and working. Not even mentioned in the acknowledgment section. Besides, it’s a terribly ambitious name for a real-time GI solution. It’d make some sense for an unbiased path tracer.
- dls2016 5y agoFor anyone out of the loop, his paper "The Rendering Equation" is very readable. https://citeseerx.ist.psu.edu/viewdoc/summary?doi=10.1.1.63.1402 https://citeseerx.ist.psu.edu/viewdoc/summary?doi=10.1.1.63....
- cardiffspaceman 5y agoGood idea. One prominent precedent: Haskell Curry's widow was asked about using the name Haskell [1]: > * Hudak and Wise were asked to write to Curry’s widow, Virginia Curry, to ask if she would mind our naming the language after her husband. * [1] https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/research/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/history.pdf https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/research/wp-content/uploads/...
- gravypod 5y agoEmbarkStudios is full of some great engineers. They're also very supportive of open source software they use (in my experience). Glad to see the amazing leaps in progress they're making.
