v0.10.0
Changelogs:
Summary
In Kaolin 0.10.0 we are focusing on Volumetric rendering, adding new features for tetrahedral meshes, including DefTet volumetric renderer and losses, and Deep Marching Tetrahedrons, and adding new primitive operations for efficient volumetric rendering of Structured Point Clouds, we are also adding support for materials with USD importation.
Finally we are adding two new tutorials to show how to use the latest features from Kaolin:
-
How to use DMtet to reconstruct a mesh from point clouds generated by the Omniverse Kaolin App
-
An Introduction to Structured Point Clouds, with conversion from mesh and interactive visualization with raytracing.
Features:
