Rendering progress preview with tev

Open iXialumy opened this issue 3 years ago • 4 comments

Hey @wahn , It finally happened. I found time again to work on communication with tev. This definitely is just a barely working prototype, but it can actually display progress while rendering. It is just full of unwraps that should be handled properly and many things are done in a very un-rust way, but we have something that works somewhat. At the moment the values sent to tev are not scaled properly and I would love to work on fixing and improving from here on with you together if you can find time.

Hey @iXialumy, Sorry for the long delay. I looked at your pull request and because the main development happens now on sourcehut I created a tev branch there and checked in a slightly modified version of your PR. I don't know how to give you credit for your work (so that's it's visible here at GitHub), but I wanted to let you know that I finally started to integrate your PR into one of the next versions of rs_pbrt! Thanks, Jan

Hey @wahn, No problem for the delay, I took a long time too. I think we should discuss a few things before merging this pr first, because I think the logic is not at the right place at the moment. Currently it is in the integrator, but I feel like this is not the best place for the architecture we currently have. On the other hand I am not sure I understand the architecture well enough for that yet.

We can work on sourcehut too, but I don't know the workflow of communication and working together on an issue yet. Let me know if you would be open to looking into that with me. Thanks, iXialumy

I'm not that familiar with the sourcehut workflow yet, but there is a mailing list to discuss rs-pbrt related things: https://lists.sr.ht/~wahn/rs-pbrt-discuss I think your email client has to be configured to use plain text emails, but that should be all ...
