We ported pbrt-v4 to Julia and built it into a Makie backend. Any Makie plot can now be rendered with physically-based path tracing. Runs on #AMD, #NVIDIA, and CPU via KernelAbstractions.jl, with #Metal coming soon. makie.org/website/blog...

We figured out flow matching over states that change dimension. With "Branching Flows", the model decides how big things must be! This works wherever flow matching works, with discrete, continuous, and manifold states. We think this will unlock some genuinely new capabilities.

Oh and as usual, these visualizations (which are, to us, key to understanding these processes) were made by @antonoresten.bsky.social in @makie.org (@simi.bsky.social).

I just released Raycore.jl - a high-performance ray tracing engine for Julia with CPU and GPU support! It will power a new photorealistic rendering backend for Makie.jl, but we made it modular and flexible to support any other use case Full post: makie.org/website/blog... #JuliaLang #RayTracing
