UPDATE LOG:

  • Fixed bug in the file saving code that did not allow writing of velocity data to an EXR file.
  • Fixed bug in the file saving code that would not allow writing of both occluded and non-occluded RBGA data to the same (multi-layered) EXR file.

INSTALLATION ON WINDOWS:
Currently there is no installer. Provided is one zip file which has a KrakatoaSR.pyd file (python module) and its .dll dependencies, as well as a sample scene. Currently the .pyd and .dll files must be in the path pointed at by both the “PYTHONPATH” environment variable or be in the c:\python26\DLLs directory.

INSTALLATION ON LINUX:
Currently there is no installer. Provided is one zip file which has a KrakatoaSR.so file (python module) and its .so dependencies, as well as a sample scene. Currently the “.so” files must be in a directory pointed at by both the “PYTHONPATH” and “LD_LIBRARY_PATH” environment variables.

RENDERING THE SAMPLE SCENE ON WINDOWS:
Included in the zip file is a sample scene. To render the sample scene:

  • Unzip the contents to a new folder (let’s call it c:\pathto\krakatoasr).
  • Open a command window and make these three calls:
set PYTHONPATH=c:\pathto\krakatoasr\
cd c:\pathto\krakatoasr\
python sample_scene.py
  • A “sample_scene_output.exr” rendered image should appear in the current folder.

RENDERING THE SAMPLE SCENE ON LINUX:
Included in the zip file is a sample scene. To render the sample scene:

  • Unzip the contents to a new directory (let’s call it /pathto/krakatoasr/).
  • Open a bash shell and make these four calls:
export PYTHONPATH=/pathto/krakatoasr/
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/pathto/krakatoasr/
cd /pathto/krakatoasr/
python2.6 sample_scene.py
  • A “sample_scene_output.exr” rendered image should appear in the current directory.
