Here I have some links to datasets some people might not know yet:

[LINK http://radsite.lbl.gov/mgf/ MGF Parser and Examples]

Includes scenes like Conference Room, Office Space, Naval Cruiser and some other. I haven't yet found time to investigate them further but from the pictures it seems like they are the same "standard" scenes many others have been using.

[LINK http://www.ce.chalmers.se/old/BART/ BART: A Benchmark for Animated Ray Tracing ]

It's basically what the title sais: benchmark datasets for animated ray tracing.

I think noone here has animation-capable ray tracer yet but it won't hurt to know where to get benchmark data for it [SMILEY Smile]

Probably meant for using with OpenRT commercial version but I got the powerplant scene running with non-commercial version too.

[LINK http://www.cs.unc.edu/~geom/Powerplant/#complete Power Plant Model]

The one and only. Consists of 12,748,510 triangles in 1185 .ply files in 86 directories.

I was waiting for how long would it take until a new subforum gets created [SMILEY Smile]

I've moved your post, as it's both useful & specific.

Thanks.

edit: heh, it was (and still is) our intention to provide some of kind of 'standard' scene kit for rt raytracing; we're just a tad slow [SMILEY Wink]

Oh and i didn't know you could run the powerplant on that gimped OpenRT demo.

I thought it was clamped to <1M tri etc etc and didn't bother.

Not like there's a profusion of available scene to render when you, finally, get that damn thing to work.

Last thing, i was wondering if anyone had the MGF set in a more 'modern' format, cuz i don't feel like writing yet another parser.

That and the ubiquitous Soda Hall.

Wish list for today: Erw6, conference (found both in a parsable but incomplete nff format), Soda Hall.

Hmm, seems that pic is 404 compliant [SMILEY Smile]

Ok, so the trick is to use the inview viewer; i got it running the other day but all i had was a cube. Yay.

Sadly, in a bold gesture of, i've removed it all (frustration?).

If you already can chew those MGF, that's really great.

Then i guess exporting them to Wavefront (obj/mtl) would be great, that is if you can preserve materials etc.. so that it fits in the usual 3D-on-PC toolchain.

thx for the mgf example scenes link, I'll have to try out the conference scene in my renderer. What's the status on mgf conversion to something else, eg .3ds?

I saw something on this somewhere else in the forums.
