• 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 / 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 / 5 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

• Python Notebooks for Fundamentals of Music Processing

  My most recommended method for beginners has always been PD (https://puredata.info/) combined with The Theory and Technique of Electronic Music: (https://msp.ucsd.edu/techniques/latest/book.pdf) and this book (https://mitpress.mit.edu/9780262014410/designing-sound/). Eli's tutorials on SuperCollider are also very helpful: https://www.youtube.com/@elifieldsteel Of course, my project Glicol can also be helpful for... - Source: Hacker News / 16 days ago

• AI can now master your music

  For node based workflows, check out Max or Pure Data. https://cycling74.com/products/max https://puredata.info/. - Source: Hacker News / 4 months ago

• New To Lighting Design, Looking for guidance

  Tools like Ossia Score, Chataigne and PureData (pd) can also help a ton in building interactive art and triggering other A/V software. Source: about 1 year ago

• WebPd 1.0.0 alpha released !

  WebPd is a highly modular compiler for audio programming language Pure Data allowing to run .pd patches on web pages. It converts the audio graph and processing objects from a patch into plain human-readable JavaScript or WebAssembly which can then be integrated directly into any web application.

• Is there any alternative to sonic pi?

  You might also be interested in the very different Pure Data (http://puredata.info/) environment, which is also free and open-source. It uses a visual programming approach, which many people like but if you are already a programmer it might seem inconvenient in comparison. Source: over 1 year ago
