So yeah, my time with Tangent Animation has come to an end. If anyone's looking for a rendering engineer/fx td, I'm out in the market looking for a new role.

First successful export of a procedurally created gpu volume in USD format! It was a nice challenge to convert a CudaDeviceBuffer nanovdb grid to openvdb and export as USD. #VFXFriday

This was in my mind for a long time and now that I have all the time at my hands I was able to work on it. My app now supports instances of instances (and of instances infinitely recursive). Had to revise the DataFactory quite a bit but I think it paid out.

Had an epiphany today and finally cracked the openvdb transforms for display purposes. So, no more dull bounding boxes 🎉. Now working on a volumetric ray-casting the grid in a Qt3D glsl shader.

Just added randomizing material attributes based on a probability distribution and it was a real brain twister!

Countless hours of work by hundreds of super talented artists! It was an awesome experience working with everyone in Tangent Animation on this show.

Being a solo dev has perks like deciding what to implement. Being a solo dev, however, also means you have to write all the documentation yourself😰 (more than 150 pages!)

Got the geometric volumes and voxel volumes rendering together. And the transmittance estimation was quite good. This image is 0.19 seconds per sample. #VFXFriday

Reunited with my family after 2 years of pandemic and I was greeted with a fresh batch of puppies. This must be #purehappiness

HOLY CACAO let the adventures begin! Maya and The Three is now streaming, only on Netflix.

My friend MataFilament just printed me stanford dragon. Now I have real world ref for SSS. Model is 6x4x2 cm.

I hope it all goes smooth today with the launch of James Webb Space Telescope. Good luck and bon voyage! #JWSTLaunch

I feel deeply sorry for everyone in Ukraine today. We stand with you and hope to see this war ending immediately. 🙏🇺🇦 #WeStandWithUkraine

I'm travelling with my cats tomorrow. And a new regulation in Turkey requires cats to have a photo on their passport and it's hilarious 🤣🤣

Got some time to implement an opengl volume shader in my app. Uses scattering, extinction, phase functions and the nanovdb data uploaded as a texture3D. This is done with a frag shader but I'm trying to utilize compute shaders with qt3d.

We're #hiring a Senior Maya Developer to focus on integrating #Redshift and #Maya. Interested? Check out our job posting for more information. ➡️ maxonvfx.com/3qldjRz
