Mitsuba 3: A Retargetable Forward and Inverse Renderer
Role in this project:Back-end Developer
Back-end DeveloperContributions:5 commits, 4 comments, 4 issues in 2 months
Contributions summary:Tomáš primarily worked on the core of the rendering system, specifically focusing on the `distr_1d` and `ContinuousDistribution` classes by modifying member types to prevent baking into kernels, and the introduction of Python bindings and associated helper functions for sensor-related tasks. They fixed a film crop issue in JIT modes and corrected the parameter sorting for XML. These changes indicate a focus on improving the efficiency, flexibility, and usability of the rendering engine.
