Re: Photo-video rendering plug-in
Sneek Peek 4
Added support to create Z-Depth renders in Sunflow override Shaders.
This has been a popular request to Render images as Z-Depth channel for post processing.
Near and Far distances can be entered by user as numerical values.

Re: Photo-video rendering plug-in
Sneek Peek 5
Added support to all 6 GI modes in yafaray
4. Bidirectional Path Tracing (BPT) An advanced unbiased mode that traces ray paths simultaneously from both the camera and the light sources, connecting them in the middle.This method is exceptionally powerful for complex indoor setups or scenes where light enters through tiny gaps, slots, or windows.
5. Ambient Occlusion (AO) An approximation method that calculates how exposed each point in a scene is to ambient light from a full hemisphere. It darkens corners, crevices, and contact points. Though technically a trick rather than true physical light bouncing, it adds swift, pseudo-GI depth to preview renders.
6. Final Gather / Irradiance Cache (Integration Layer) Depending on your version or host application interface (like Blender or Sweet Home 3D), Final Gather (FG) or Irradiance Caching acts as a sample-filtering mode used on top of Photon Mapping. It uses a pre-pass to map out where high-contrast changes occur and selectively distributes complex ray calculations, drastically smoothing out photon maps and speeding up final rendering output.
