EmbarkStudios is full of some great engineers. They're also very supportive of open source software they use (in my experience). Glad to see the amazing leaps in progress they're making.
see also https://medium.com/embarkstudios/homegrown-rendering-with-ru... , a technical post where "Tomasz, a software engineer at Embark explains on how [they] approach 3D rendering of user-created worlds, how Rust helps achieve [their] goals, and share some exciting open source news."
If you are going to use the HN 'catnip' of 'Rust', surely the title should be:
"Kajiya: Experimental real-time global illumination renderer made with Vulcan and Rust"?
Yeap, why would someone hide the actual project name and replace it with Rust, we should flag this shit to get better quality submissions. Athis moment tile is "Rust: Experimental real-time global illumination renderer"
I wondered the same thing. He’s still alive and working. Not even mentioned in the acknowledgment section. Besides, it’s a terribly ambitious name for a real-time GI solution. It’d make some sense for an unbiased path tracer.
