Notes
- Next meeting January 7. Happy holidays to everyone!
- Weizhen: the volume patch is ready, needs review
- Step size is tricky: some scenes are slower, but less biased
- Need to make a decision on time vs. quality
- Lukas created feedback thread for the OSL camera patch (custom lens and more!)
- OptiX issue with steam will be fixed with the new driver release
- Patrick is looking into
trace()calls from OptiX OSL- Due to OptiX version it will be easier to implement with newer driver version
- HIP story:
- The current HIP fix will land to main
- Eventually will be ported to 4.2 when we’re certain it does not cause unforeseen issues
- For 4.4 Windows can switch to ROCm 6
- For 4.4 Alaska mentioned update to ROCm 6.2
- Unrelated topics mentioned by Nikita:
- It is tricky to get list of issues assigned to a specific person
- it is important to backup keys from the chat.blender.org! Otherwise clearing cache will remove the key, and will make PMs unreadable. And for certain types of issues it might be suggested to clear the cache.
