Aqsis has been selected as part of the Google “Summer of Code” project. Aqsis is an open-source implementation of Pixar’s Renderman, currently under active development.
Applicants can sign up to develop further features of the code and get cavalcades of publicity and a nice fat $4500 for their effort. They’re currently looking for applicants to help develop their raytracing prototype, level set geometry code, enhance Piqsl, and add Brickman, Point Cloud, and Renderman Interface Filters. Applications must be received by April 3rd.
