The anari analytical rendering interface of Khronos group has been supported by AMD radeon prorender Khronos anari interface is used for visualization of 3D data. Radeon prorender is a powerful rendering engine based on physical characteristics, which helps creative professionals produce amazing and photo realistic images.
Khronos anari analytical rendering interface is added to the list of supported applications using AMD radeon prorender. Anari limits the dispersion of several different APIs for merchants looking for feature rich data visualization applications.
In 2021, Khronos group released the first draft of anari 1.0 interim specification to create an industry standard focusing on customized 3D data visualization. The organization intends to make the analytical rendering interface the golden rule specification used by AMD radeon prorender and utilized by several CPU and GPU libraries.
The enabled message was on AMD's [gpuopen] this morning( https://gpuopen.com/radeon-prorender-now-supports-khronos-anari/ ) The new integration supported by Kronos anari 1.0 is briefly explained on the website. The application is considered open source under the Apache 2.0 license and can be downloaded from GitHub Download.
Implementation details are as follows:
- camera**
● types of support: perspective and front view
● the transform parameter covers the position, direction and upward parameters
● imageregion parameter is not supported now
● only perspective cameras support focusdistance and apertureradius parameters.
● both cameras have an additional parameter sensorheight. The width of the sensor will be calculated using the length width parameter. The default sensor height is 24 mm.
● the front view camera has an additional parameter orthoheight. It determines the area to be covered by the projection of the orthophoto. The width is calculated using the length width parameter. The default value is 1
- geometry:**
● curve geometry type is not supported now
● general parameters (primitive. Color, primitive. Attribute, primitive. ID) are not supported.
● vertex. Color can only accept float32 types (float32, float32 _vec2, float32 _vec3, float32 _vec4)
● vertex. Normal can only accept float32 values
● primitive. Index can only accept uint32 values and vectors.
- Volume**
● data in the space field can only be in float32 format (array3d of float32).
● color can only accept float32 types (float32, float32 _vec2, float32 _vec3, float32 _vec4)
● color is not supported Position and opposition Position parameter.
- functions not yet implemented**
● object introspection
● stereo mode of camera
● depth frame buffer
● curve geometry
● khr_auxiliary_buffers
● anari_khr_transformation_motion_blur
