Mitsuba 2?

[amitibo]

Hi,

Is there a planned release/timeline for the Mitsuba 2.0.0?

Thanks,
Amit

Hi Amit,

this project is still unpublished, so we unfortunately can't make any promises as to when it might be released.

Best,
Wenzel

Any updates on when the project will be published ? The link on the official Mitsuba 2 website is broken : http://rgl.epfl.ch/publications/NimierDavidVicini2019Mitsuba2

You will have to wait until Mid-November (around time time of SIGGRAPH Asia)

SIGGRAPH Asia is on, the drums are rolling.

We're still working on several important changes. Unfortunately that means we can't keep the originally planned timeline, there will be a delay of several weeks.

Hi, wjakob:

I'm very interested in your differentiable rendering work and can't wait to play with it. Will mitsuba2 released this year?

Thanks!

I too would like to express my interest in Mitsuba 2. I am working on a new paper for detection of transparent objects. To create a training dataset, I'm looking to automate the rendering of ~50,000 images and have been directed towards Mitsuba as a method of achieving believable/accurate caustics.
Any rough timeline for release, @wjakob?

Also, wish you a happy new year!

@Shreeyak, if your goal is just to render ordinary images, you will want to stick with Mitsuba 1. The main use cases of the new version are differentiable rendering and advanced physically-based rendering with polarization & color spectra. I won't give an exact release date given how far off I've been with my previous guesses, but things are looking fairly close to completion now. (probably a few more weeks)

Can you let me know when mitsuba 2 gets released? Want to share it to my group on facebook. Or share it yourself if you like:

Looks awesome!

Subscribing to this issue. Any other updates? I'm also very excited about Mitsuba 2 for it's differentiable rendering capacity.

[goddice]

Subscribing. Exciting.

Subscribing.
