[Bf-cycles] GSoC 2018 - Many Lights Sampling Proposal

[André Lourenço]

Hello Brecht,

First of all, thank you for your feedback. I updated my proposal by subdividing the first milestones in weeks, instead of two weeks. I also specify the days interval, instead of only the starting day, so it is more clear.

I expect to get test files and references during the community bounding. I also expect to use this period to get used to the code so I can start coding right away, even if slow. Should I specify this more in the schedule?

I added the search materials I've been using for research in the references section at the end of the page.

I used my synopsis text for the Abstract in GSoC's page, because I didn't understand if there is supposed to be a difference. Can you clarify me on this?


Thank you,

André Lourenço

For the planning, I suggest to get the basic BVH building and traversal working for point lights first, and then add area lights, add mesh lights, add importance from light intensity, ... Try to have some working implementation as soon as possible, and then iterate on it from there.

To start, you can of course spend a day or two browsing the code, creating initial test files etc. But also plan to write some code in the first week. It may go very slow as you are feeling your way around the code, but it means you are leaning about the things that are actually important to your project.

Also link to the paper(s) you are planning to base this implementation on.
