[Bf-blender-cvs] SVN commit: /data/svn/bf-blender [23794] trunk/blender: Deep Shadow Buffer

[Brecht Van Lommel]

Hi,

It seems I wasn't entirely clear about if I reused code or not, what I
meant to say is that I did not use the soc project code, but rather
decided on a different implementation that integrated closer into the
old shadow buffer code. This was easier for me than to try to
understand and debug the soc project code. The core of this DSM code
is < 500 lines of code, everything else is tweaks to fit it in. Most
of the optimizations like disk caches and per part rendering could
still reuse soc project code, and that kind of functionality is
something that I intend to tackle more globally in the render engine
later on, not just for DSM.

Brecht.

going this way would make it easier for me to debug and most of the
optimizations
