Hello,

  My graduate thesis is about distributed real-time rendering and I'm planning on doing an implementation using Xith3d. Is there any interest from the community on that? Also is there any legal limitations on doing so?

Thanks in advance,
Pedro

No objections. I'd like to see the results when it's ready, if this is possible . I'm just curious.

[pboechat]

Ok, I'll send you feedbacks as soon as I start coding. I'll present my monography by the end of this semester and might get the implementation started by the middle of june. Still this whole idea is subject to my advisor's opinion

Thanks for your response,
Pedro

Interesting. Are you splitting the viewport across rendering nodes, or something like that?

[pboechat]

Actually I'll be splitting the geometry among the nodes and then i'll compose the rendered images together. These are the steps of a distribution method called Sort-Last. The "viewport splitting" method is called Sort-First and it aims multi-projection systems.

I'm starting with the code. It can be found at:

I'll try to translate my monography that gives some explanation about the implementation.

The next 6 months I'll try to reach an useable product with a closed scope.
