Back in the day, I began my career working on open source rendering software even before open source was fully conceived. Now that I'm no longer part of a corporate behemoth and my time is my own, I'm wondering if there is an open source rendering project out there that might benefit from my contributions. Getting back into coding and working with a group, as well as the warm fuzzies of contributing to an open source project sounds enticing. Any recommendations? #rendering #raytracing
@brainwagon
Blender's built-in renderers, Cycles (pathtracer) and Eevee (viewport/rasterizer), have gotten very very good over the past decade, and are always open to contributors!
@brainwagon MTV Raytracer might need an update! 🫣
@brainwagon The academy software foundation is always looking for volunteers and has lots of great projects. MoonRay is the ready tracer DreamWorks open sourced.
BTW, great to see your post, we've ran in the same circles many years ago.
