DreamWorks' #OpenMoonRay Renderer Code Published

https://www.phoronix.com/news/OpenMoonRay-Published

#OpenMoonRay is released! I'm excited to see what happens with it. If you go to their website (https://openmoonray.org), you'll see that you have to compile it yourself. Also, it looks like it is currently targeting CentOS 7 only at the moment, so Windows, Mac, and other versions of Linux may run into fun issues.

Still, I can't wait to play around in it.

The @Dreamworks #OpenMoonRay Renderer Code Published

-- Apache 2.0 licensed production grade renderer used already in numerous animated films.
