Welcome

This blog represents a common area where we can share ideas, thoughts and other verbose information with others - While giving a little more insight into the inner workings/minds of our team.

Though there might be overlap in places, the content here differs from that of the main Aqsis website and is intended to be complimentary while still acting as a useful resource for those interested in the world of 3D graphics and rendering.

So... sit back, relax, and have fun... we will !!! ;-)

Advanced Framebuffer

Work is currently underway on a new standalone framebuffer to compliment the Aqsis toolset, offering greater functionality than our existing effort...



Though only in the early stages of development it's already looking very promising, and a definite improvement over the standard framebuffer - Even in its present state!

While the featureset's still subject to change the following is planned...

  • Dynamic scene switching (live updates)
  • Network rendering
  • Simple compositing
  • Basic flipbook functionality
  • Render arbitrary scenes to 'books' (image management)
  • Save scenes using additional image formats
  • Standard RenderMan display interface (for other renderers)

The development can be monitored through the usual channels (IRC, mailing lists, etc) and is available via the 'new-framebuffer' branch within our SVN repository.
