Ooooh.... Impressive.
This render engine looks so modern, I think it could be very popular in blender community,
it just lacks current 2.5 support, but seems to be released soon.. so :D
Wow, it HAS been a while since I've heard anything from Mitsuba! I'm glad development for Mitsuba is still alive! Looking good, guys! I'll be adding this to my list of renderers--the more renderers, the better!
and this versoin is now supporting also AMD processors as well!
(the previouse version was only for Intel processors)
Add the project to the Ohloh (http://www.ohloh.net/ ), please.
Agreed Brian L, the more the more better. Along with Cycles and Lux, Mitsuba would be a great Blender renderer especially interfaced
Awesome. Will try it when it has blender 2.57 script.
very interesting blog post about using EC2 for cloud rendering.
really promising :)
That cloth looks amazing!!
Can't wait for blender plugin.
I think this one is the most promising for the future. It seems the developer(s) have really thought out the internal architecture, and I can't wait for a stable release!
When I get home today, I'm going to try downloading/compiling.
