Looks incredible! How much time does it takes to render at %99 (in case it never reachs 100)

[QUOTE=gonzalolog;51426550]Looks incredible! How much time does it takes to render at %99 (in case it never reachs 100)[/QUOTE] It completely depends on your screen resolution, and the number of samples you're using per pixel. For the 1280x720 picture you see above, I used 2048 samples per pixel - it took about 11 hours total. I'm not sure what you mean by your question of how long it takes to render at 99%, though. EDIT: Not entirely sure why this post is being rated 'funny' - 11 hours is a pretty regular render time for a raytraced image of this quality and resolution.

[QUOTE=YoutoYokodera;51433232]Your UI color scheme look very weird somehow[/QUOTE] Yeah, our UI is old. We've gotten a graphics artist to do redo the UI's and we'll implement them

I like how you can interact with the 3D panel, good job, when will it open?

[QUOTE=zerf;51432879]Or LZMA the current output of Meep's script then stick a good ol' RunString(util.Decompress( in there. :v: [/QUOTE] Yeah this doesn't work because lua code execution will stop at the null byte, which is definitely going to be in the LZMA'd string we pass to util.Decompress. For a better example see the following code: [lua] RunString([==[ print("Hello " .. [[ ]==] .. string.char(0) .. [==[ ]] .. " World") ]==]) [/lua] It fails with the error: [code] ERROR: RunString:1: unfinished long string near '<eof>' RunString:0 [] [/code] Because RunString gets fed: print("Hello " .. [[ <NUL> ]] .. " World") and just stops at the null byte. We could get around this by encoding, but I don't know if we'd still save bytes.

I added pink melon lights to my raytracer. [img]http://puu.sh/svHWL/97b8844240.png[/img]

I made a thing that allows people to rocket jump, go upside down, shoot people, and roll safely onto the ground [video=youtube;SI33JbVx_2g]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SI33JbVx_2g[/video] Also, I should mention, the FOV has been increased to 103 without interfering with SetFOV or disabling any other CalcView hooks. Edit: Added this [video=youtube;_uVun-BgqfA]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_uVun-BgqfA&feature=youtu.be[/video]

[QUOTE=zerf;51433347]Yeah this doesn't work because lua code execution will stop at the null byte, which is definitely going to be in the LZMA'd string we pass to util.Decompress.[/QUOTE] Plus GMod basically runs util.Compress on the scripts before sending them to client, that's why you can send scripts over the net's 64kb limit. No point compressing twice.

A null byte in the original code?

[QUOTE=FPtje;51434545]Where would RunString get a null byte from if you decode the input first though? A null byte in the original code?[/QUOTE] I guess he means that if there was a null byte in the file that contains the code that decompresses the compressed code, that file itself would not load, thus not allowing you to load the code inside it. :rollout: edit: (also falco and everyone else psst, if you had pagers in the [URL="https://discord.gg/6rsbUU8"]glua chat[/URL], you need to re-add them since nana2 has replaced hash.js and nana1)

I'm taking a break from The Pancake Games for a little bit and working on an informative video about simulating a skycam for sports games, since it's been awhile since I've done one of these. I had to create a few graphics for explaining the math behind the logic of my code... or the logic behind the math of my code... uh... :worried: [video]https://youtu.be/N2qTZRwo-4U[/video]

Can I shitpost? Fuck it, I'm gonna shitpost. [video]https://youtu.be/6D4LrQuZ1dg[/video]

Woah. Absolutely amazing result. Can't wait to see more of this. 2 Questions; How long does a 1080p image take for a single light bounce pass? Secondly, any plans for overcoming the physics only based tracing?

Please be sure to post updates (even PMs will do, rendering in Gmod is my life :v)! I already wrote a (very unconventional) visual scan system which can generate a point cloud of pixel positions and their colors fairly accurately that works both client side and server side, but there's no accurate telling of normals and it's quite slow compared to other tracing solutions. Its only upsides is it scans true visual information rather than physics information, that is polygons, transparent meshes, and the like. I can't wait for a better alternative though, and am more than interested in seeing if a more conventional tracing solution is available!
