I want to know how to render depth map.

Cheers,

Thanks again for all of your amazing work. Mitsuba is truly something special!

Also maybe experiment with new rendering techniques such as Bidirectional VCM and Adaptive Progressive Photon Mapping(Which has yet to be implemented into a 3D rendering program). Just some thoughts.

Thanks, regards.

if you’re still having issues, I’d try reinstalling OpenEXR — maybe after a brew update, you have incompatible .dylib and header files installed on your system?

in the .pro file instead of having the line HEADERS += include/nori/*.h, I actually expanded the value of the variable with all the .h files, don’t know if I should modify some settings in order to make the original statement to work.

Undefined symbols for architecture x86_64:

NOTE: a missing vtable usually means the first non-inline virtual member function has no definition.

Don’t know how to proceed with that, I have installed OpenEXR but perhaps I missed something. Any advise?

For now, I’m mainly stuck with technical problems. The integration works now, but it’s not stable yet (too many crashes). On that front, I need a experimented C++ developer more than anything else :-(.

But there is other fronts where help would be most welcome :
– alpha testing (probably by the end of January) on a windows platform.
– Experimenting with Mitsuba BSDF and media to improve the translation from Carrara to Mitsuba. You can now export an OBJ or a DAE version of your scene, import it in the Mitsuba GUI and alter the generated XML (it’s what I’ve been doing for some time now). It’s tedious (hence the plugin) but doable. And this is a crucial point for this kind of plugin : allow non experimented user to produce nice render from a shader that already produces nice results with the Carrara renderer, hence reducing the learning curve.

I found this blog while also looking into doing a Carrara integration. Mitsuba looks amazing. I’m glad I read this becuase I would call myself a novice C++ code (but a good web developer). The XML part made me think it would be easy but it sounds like I would be biting off way more than I could chew so I am really happy to hear that you are taking this on. I would be happy to help in whatever way I can.

I would like to know your comments, greetings.

I will set up a development blog as soon as the proof of concept is set up. I have yet to work on the integration of Mitsuba renderer into Carrara rendering system before completing this part.

Anyway, the more I experiment with Mitsuba, the more I like it. You’ve done a great job and I’m so impressed with it I really want to say it

Thank you,

Hugo

that sounds great! Converting materials is really tricky, and I don’t think there is any perfect way to go about it (different systems follow very different material design principles, and Mitsuba is no exception in that regard).

Is there some webpage where you are tracking your progress so that other people using Daz could follow?

Best,
Wenzel
