Added @troy_s's AgX tone mapping to Avoyd Voxel Editor, based on @benjamin's code.

This is an initial implementation and there may be some issues, but the beta is available for those who have access.

Quick test render of clouds imported from https://visibleearth.nasa.gov/images/57747/blue-marble-clouds (I used the 21600x21600 png) as a heightmap with height 64, using the Cloud: white heavy material. Rendered from above in Avoyd Voxel Editor.

We've released a beta of Avoyd which improves GPU rendering performance using wavefront path tracing.

On our AMD 7900 XTX (many thanks to AMD for providing system to test on) we get up to 2x performance improvements.

Finished a long overdue update of Avoyd's Edit Tool documentation: https://www.avoyd.com/avoyd-voxel-editor-documentation.html#EditTool

I also fleshed out the Saved Cameras section: https://www.avoyd.com/avoyd-voxel-editor-documentation.html#CamerasSave

I was testing some changes to progress dialogues, and needed to check the 'load image as heightmap' in Avoyd Voxel Editor on a new PC, but lacked images except some renders I'd made.

Turns out the render of a Minecraft map makes a fairly pretty test, if a bit spikey.

Getting close to a Beta release of Avoyd 0.21.0 with the new GPU pathtracer.

#Voxel #Avoyd

Video of the Avoyd Voxel Editor open, showing the Render window on the left with the new option "Render On GPU" along with an Avoyd Updated window in the middle describing the changes. The background scene has a isometric view of a voxel scene. When the "Render on GPU" and then "Do Render" buttons are pressed the voxel editor starts rendering the scene which incorporates transparent, metallic and emissive materials.

Work is going well: we think we'll have a beta prototype of the GPU renderer some time in the next two weeks for you all to try out. #Avoyd

Quick preview of the Vulkan GPU Path Tracing Renderer which we will publish in a future release of the Avoyd Voxel Renderer. The noise when moving is less in reality (the video codec compression makes it appear worse).

Model: Minecraft map Drehmal: PrimΩrdial.

#Voxel #Vulkan #Graphics #RayTracing #Avoyd

Avoyd Voxel Editor with the Minecraft map Drehmal: PrimΩrdial loaded. The scene shows a small island with a village in front of a larger island. The camera pans down into the village and stops viewing over a small harbour. The scene is rendered with a GPU accelerated path tracing renderer.

After we published the tutorial on "Optimising Voxel Meshes for Games Engines (Unreal, Unity) Using #Blender " we decided to do a little work on the .obj exporter and #Godot. Update should be out in a couple of days if all goes well.

@ dougbinks fixed an issue with the .vox importer: make sure you download the beta if you're using multiple models in #MagicaVoxel and some of them are flipped.
