PTC BASED INDIRECTDIFFUSE - COLOUR BLEED
Bumped this over from the 3delight forum as well. Cheers Baopao
This is my way for ptc based indirectdiffuse() with 3dl 9.0.0.
http://www.alessandrodallafontana.com/p … p_mall.htm
here you will find 3 shaders.
I use standard maya shader.
I create a render pass for bake with in PreWorldMel:
RiAttribute -n "cull" -p "hidden" "integer" "0" -p "backfacing" "integer" "0";
RiAttribute -n "dice" -p "rasterorient" "integer" "0";
in advance render:
all AOV
standar atmophere on
create a shader collection override with the shader: ptc_surface_bake (bleeding color is fake autoilluminate color and in i_Ci I use 3 so diffuse light is multiply for 3).
create a Beauty render pass, in advance render:
all AOV
standar atmophere on
create a shader collection override with the shader: ptc_surface_bleeding
this shader have also a occlusion pass for details…. and read the aov_camera_normal of standard maya shader for bump effect.
and have the possibility of bake another ptc map for use after for reflection blur ptc based or convert in brickmap for read in the other volume shader: brikmap_read (only read the "_radiosity" info), or second indirectdiffuse pass.....
P.S. the aov for multipass rendering are: aov_ambient aov_occlusion aov_envcolor (this one is a custom pass, and write only the envcolor from envmap).
ALL SUGGEST ARE WELCOM…. :)
ciao

3delight 9.0 New Version
Santa arrived early this year...
10.12.2009
3Delight 9.0 and 3Delight for Maya 5.0 released
This release includes support for unlimited threads, multi-camera rendering, improved point-based occlusion both in quality and speed and a wealth of other performance improvements. 3Delight for Maya now comes with major performance improvements to the Relationship Editor, added support for many useful Hypershade nodes and improved UI for the display driver and the Relationship Editor. 3Delight for Maya also introduces RIB Fragments: a user-friendly and flexible way of creating and managing RIB archives.
Renderman.org site down
Went to download some old siggraph papers - looks like the domain is out of use.

3delight 8.5 Out Now
Info (Copy and Paste)
This release includes support for RSL 2.0 (shader objects and co-shaders) and further ray-tracing optimizations that should give significant performance gains when rendering displacements and motion-blur. 3Delight For Maya includes a new relationship editor to quickly explore and assign shaders and attributes as well as new "edge rounding" features to easily bevel edges on polygonal geometry.

zdepth in 3delight
Hello Atom,
I am new to 3delight as i've been using m.ray for a long, long time. I was wounding if u have a moment to explain in the basic terms how to set up z depth that would give me optimal results in 3Dlight ? Any help would be much appreciated.
With Respect Dantes.
-------------------------
Hi Dantes, who is atom? apologies in answering your email so late
try this.
1) select in secondary Displays in 3delight renderpass - Display AOV - luminance depth
2) set the far clip plane close enough under the camera attributes to a suitable distance. maybe the distance of the furthest geometry.
........... or
or use a 32bit z pass and extract the data you need in your compositing tool - you have much more control :) - swag

AMBIENT OCCLUSION POINT CLOUDS with deformations
AMBIENT OCCLUSION POINT CLOUD BAKING
1. Attach ptc_write shader to geometry, put in output name in eg "scene.ptc"
2. set attribute on geometry in 3delight- cull hidden surfaces, cull backfacing surfaces, raster orientated dicing to off
3. set up camera view to encompass the geometry
4. Render settings: Quality - Pixel Samples 1,1 Pixel Filter - Box Filter
, top camera. the quality can be cack cause your outputting the point cloud.
5. Render out .ptc file
6 Open ptc view and have a look at the .ptc file. spin it around like a crazy fool.
5 create bkm ( brickmap) file from ptc on command line put in ptc2brick "C:\scene.ptc" "C:\scene.bkm"
There other commands you can put in to vary quality etc, but that will get you going.
6, Attach bake_occlusion_Pref shader to geometry. Put in scene.bkm into the shader.
7 set bias in shader low to avoid white creases
, set the other setting how you see fit.
8. set attribute on geometry - cull hidden surfaces, cull backfacing surfaces, raster orientated dicing to on
set 3delight geometry attribute Visibilty to diffuse Rays(occlusion) Shader Color & opacity
10 Reset the rendering quality setting to the default or whatever you want.
11 Render

POINT CLOUD BAKING FOR GEOMETRY THAT IS GOING TO DEFORM
1) Select Geometry - Maya Menu - Rendering - Texturing - Create Texture ref object.
2) Add attribute Reference Geometry in 3delight, output Pref, output Nref
3) Follow steps 2-10 above

New Book
I ponied up for this book. Put together by Rudy from RendermanAcademy fame and Saty Raghavachary,I would say its worth your time. Only minus point is there isnt a included CD-ROM or website that works with all the shaders. Apart from that ace.

3Delight 7.0 and 3Delight For Maya 3.0 released
This is a blatant copy and paste!!!
Original message via Google News.
Remember that the first full license of the renderer is free!
Some of the most important features and improvements:
3Delight
Rendering Features
* New Image Based Lighting Algorithm. A more flexible and powerful approach to image based lighting is introduced.
* Point Based Occlusion and Color Bleeding.
* Brick Maps (3D Textures) for efficient and anti-aliased 3D data lookup.
* Display subsets. A unique feature that enables rendering of many layers, each with its own alpha channel and output variables, in one render pass.
Performance
* Multi-threading efficiency has been improved for scenes with high depth complexity.
* Point cloud files are not read in memory all at once any more: proper caching enables memory-efficient access to point cloud data.
* Subsurface scattering has been optimized and the pre-processing step is now run in multi-threaded mode.
* Deep Shadow Map creation is now multi-threaded.
* occlusion() and indirectdiffuse() have been accelerated through the use of adaptive sampling.
Texture Converter (tdlmake)
* A new -preview option makes textures appear as TIFFs of lower resolution to software such as Maya; this enables you to use a single texture for both Maya previews and final renders. Additionally, tdlmake now supports the TARGA file format.
New Tools
* ptc2brick is a tool to convert point cloud files to brick maps.
* ptcview is a tool to view point cloud files.
* ptcmerge is a tool to merge point cloud files.
Pipeline
* A new API to access point cloud files is available.
* A more advanced C++ API for DSO plug-ins is available.
3Delight For Maya
* The plug-in is better integrated into Maya. It now registers itself as a standard Maya renderer and is thus accessible through the Render Settings. Batch rendering and command line rendering (through the standard Maya Render command) is now possible.
* Improved HyperShade Translation:
o 3Delight For Maya tracks HyperShade network modifications and only translates and compiles shaders which have changed.
o The following hypershade nodes are now supported: ocean, remapValue, lightInfo, layeredTexture and volumeLight.
o The Image Sequence options of the File texture node are now upported.
o HyperShade networks for light sources are correctly translated into their RenderMan SL equivalent.
o The RenderMan Code shader can now declare output variables and those can be output using secondary displays (advanced).
* Support for RIB archives creation and reading using a user friendly, yet flexible, interface.
* Out-of-the-box support for Shave & a Haircut and much improved Maya Fur support.
* Object Instancers are fully supported.
* Shadow Maps can be rendered using arbitrary cameras. This allows for better shadow map view framing and thus better quality.
* More output variables added to secondary displays.
* Maya 2008 support.
