3Delight Gentoo ebuild

I finally got around to submit the 3Delight ebuild that has been literally rotting on my harddrive for the last three years.

It contains init scripts for the license server for both sysinit and init-ng.

Give it a whirl and provide feedback, if you’re a Gentoo user.

Using Wings 3D to Fix Shit

I added a new tutorial on how to use Wings 3D to fix non-manifold geometry. If you’re a rendering TD frequently pestered with occurrences of the latter, consider suggesting it as a read to your modeling supervisor.

3Delight 6.0 is out

Yep, that’s right. A new 3Delight just came freshly out of DNASoft’s oven of goodness. Photon mapping, point cloud baking & shadeops, toon outlines and a raytrace hider are among the most notable features for the crowd. However, 3Delight 6.0 comes with “exclusive” AOVs. AOVs tagged as such don’t get matted by µ-polygons who write to other displays. This and some nice extensions to the OpenEXR display driver make this release very interesting for VFX shops that rebuild lots of their shader math in compositing.

There’s also a Gentoo ebuild here for this — in case you run the best GNU/Linux distro currently out there too and wondered.
