LiAR isn’t a raytracer

OK, it has been more than two years since my last update on liar.bramz.net. Back then, we moved from liar.sf.net to liar.bramz.org to liar.bramz.net, the subversion repository got a new URL, and everything went silent. What happened? Well, I started taking real pictures instead, that’s what happened … And I started doing it quite regularly [...]

As of 28 June 2007, Sourceforge will decommission the SVN access URLs starting with https://svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/. They are replaced by URLs with the project names in front. For LiAR, this looks like https://liar.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/. The new URL scheme is part of an upgrade of the Subversion access method to improve its stability. If your local working copy [...]

We’ve successfully moved the LiAR home page to http://liar.bramz.net. This should allow us to upload bigger renders, and get better search engine coverage. The old URLs starting with http://liar.sourceforge.net should redirect traffic to the new site so that no links get broken. Share and Enjoy!

Hi all, It’s been a while since the last update. We can assure you that LiAR isn’t dead, but unfortunately we have been through some busy months, and some more are coming up, which puts everything on a hold. So there probably won’t be many updates in the next couple of months either. See you [...]

We’re glad to announce that we’ve migrated the LiAR source code from the CVS to a Subversion (SVN) repository. SVN is generally available on sourceforge since February, and by making this move, we’ll allow for more flexible code management. You can grab the latest code from the repository by the following command: svn co https://svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/liar/trunk/liar/ [...]

LiAR isn’t a raytracer is pleased to announce that it has become the official sponsor of PHD-Motorsports, the Ghent-based racing team owned by Victor De Muer. The team is currently competing in the VRL Live For Speed WinterTrophy 2005. Last week, LiAR CEO Bram de Greve was contacted by De Muer in search of funds [...]

The code for the triangle meshes is to the CVS. There are also a lot of other minor changes. It’ll probably take a few hours for the anonymous CVS to catch up though. You will also need to upgrade your LASS installation.

I decided to create a blog to write down my experiences while developing LiAR. It’s mostly going to be about how features are developed, but also about design decisions etc. Not much more to say right now … so share and enjoy! :)
