Week 8
July 15 — July 19
This week has been more of a researchy week. I looked into Cycles’ path guiding and adaptive sampling feature, and confirmed through a bug report that compositing must be done after all pieces have been rendered and merged. I’ve started to translate the distributed rendering pipeline from a Python script into a custom JOB_TYPE and created a PR for that. I’ve also fixed a few other minor issues along the way.
For the next week, I plan to continue implementing the custom JOB_TYPE and have most of the part complete. I could then start playing around and identify scenarios when the rendering does not work well.
