• Spectral Ray Tracing

  A great spectral ray tracing engine is LuxRender : https://luxcorerender.org/ Beyond the effects shown here, there are other benefits to spectral rendering - if done using light tracing, it allows you to change color, spectrum and intensity of light sources after the fact. It also makes indirect lighting much more accurate in many scenes. - Source: Hacker News / about 2 months ago

• The Apparent Simplicity of RGB Rendering

  Another one like this is (was? Not sure if it's maintained any more) Lux Render: https://luxcorerender.org/ I played my part in this back in the 2010s maintaining the blender integration, fun times :) But both the renderer and the integrations got pretty much entirely re-written in the move to GPU compute shortly after that time. - Source: Hacker News / 4 months ago

• Appleseed – open-source, physically-based global illumination rendering engine

  My go-to for a pbrt-type renderer Lux[0] which ticks all the same boxes. If you're willing to go closed source then the standard used to be Maxwell Render, but I don't know if that's changed in the last couple of years. [0] https://luxcorerender.org/. - Source: Hacker News / about 1 year ago

• Glass topology and caustics study

  I agree that Blender is probably limited here. Someone else suggested running the scene with LuxCore. It's been on my radar for a while, but I haven't had time to try it. If I find the time to use it for this scene, I'll come back and post a result for you. Source: over 1 year ago

• Apparently Blender doesn't see light as waves

  Might want to use something like this for these type of renders: https://luxcorerender.org/ Dunno if it works but think it will be closer than cycles. Source: over 1 year ago

• Any recommended fairly easy to learn design/architectural software to play around with different designs for my house (mostly exterior/facade?)

  However planner5d also looks slick. Source: 6 months ago

• Am I nuts for wanting to change this carpet?

  Don't rush. Redesign your space in 3d and see how it goes from there. I like your current rug. Source: 6 months ago

• Interior design softwares and AI

  I came across https://planner5d.com/. It's pretty neat but doesn't have options that I really need. Source: 11 months ago

• First time living alone, the space feels… depressing

  Dude, go to https://planner5d.com/ and just design your space. This shit saved me so much time and money. Source: about 1 year ago

• Any free / cheap softwares that I can use to draw up my new build? Am a visual person so need to see the space for planning purposes.

  I do not recommend https://planner5d.com, they used to be amazing but have since massively crippled the free tier, to the point where it's unusable. Source: about 1 year ago
