Notes
- Blender 4.5
- OSL camera PR 129495 has landed
- Still in-flight, but seems there is enough time to tackle:
- High-prios:
- Micro-displacement
- HW texture on Intel
- Add a check for 4.5 to show proper error message.
- HIP-RT issues
- Brecht is working on texture cache
- Bistro goes from 5 to 2 GB
- Update related tasks. Once ready to collaborate make a PR or move to the main repository.
- Bistro goes from 5 to 2 GB
- Weizhen is working on volume sampling
- Should be ready for review soon.
- HIP SDK is public now. Need to update HIP-RT and OIDN.
- After that we can look into the balanced BVH option to lower the memory usage.
- HIP-RT supports binary compression. Might take a bit to become available in the public HIP-RT repository.
- Look into moving the meeting to allow Christophe Hery join more meetings.
- Will send mail with suggestions.
- Discussion went into camera node modified bits. Should be possible to reduce the number of bits to allow having more parameters in the camera node.
- Christophe will also look into adopting OSL camera.
