Barista

These days Cloud Rendering is pretty common, but rarely in the hands of artists. I wrote a quick article about how Barista came into existence, and why its important to bring cloud rendering to the Blender community. baristarender.com/posts/why-… #b3d #cycles #eevee #luxcore

Barista 1.7.14 is finally released! ☕️ baristarender.com/posts/bari…

Many have wondered if this project was still alive. It has been mostly minimal maintenance, as custom builds still to allow users to use the latest version of Blender. Still, I wanted to give a status update of why Barista development slowed. barista.mavenseed.com/posts/…

It's been way too long! I'm finally working on adding official 4.2.1 support, and then work on incremental updates for Barista 1.8.0. Thanks to all the supporters that still show an interest in this project! 🙏 #b3d

Barista 1.7.13 has been released. Some minor updates fixing some annoying bugs. ☕️ #b3d baristarender.com/posts/bari…

The biggest hurdle with 1.8.0 development is finally done! So, now it's finally time for the new feature development. 🎉

With Barista 1.8.0 in active development, I've decided to add a few new milestones to the roadmap to provide complete LTS support on release. These additional will allow users to fix any issue new Blender builds can introduce. baristarender.com/posts/bari… #Blender3d

Barista 1.7.12 released to better support Blender 3.x CLI rendering. ☕️ #Blender3d #cycles baristarender.com/posts/bari…

Barista 1.7.11 now released! ☕️ #Blender3d baristarender.com/posts/bari…

Updates have been a major pain-point for too long, so this was the first new feature added to 1.8.0 in development. ☕️ #b3d Be sure to check out 1.8.0's feature list: baristarender.com/posts/bari…

To provide a quick supplemental update, Barista 1.7.10 is now released ☕️ baristarender.com/posts/bari… #b3d

Barista 1.7.9 is now released ☕️ Supplemental Update: An issue with the custom build version selector has been fixed in this version. #b3d baristarender.com/posts/bari…

Barista 1.7.8 has just been released 🎉 The 1.7.8 update addresses some minor issues with the UI and UX to make Barista render life more pleasant while 1.8.0 is in development. ☕️ #b3d baristarender.com/posts/bari…

How many hours do you think you spend rendering scenes in a single year? #b3d #cycles #luxcore #eevee

A new Linux build of Barista is now available for download and labeled 1.7.7.1. Apparently the original 1.7.7 build was defaulting to arm64, breaking support for x86_64.

Finally, @khtrammell's Simon side-profile render. This was a fun one for sure. Somehow the GPU render ended up cheaper (but slower), and rendering on the new gen Xeon was a lot faster. ☕️ #b3d #cycles baristarender.com/posts/cg-c…

With Cycles GPU rendering updated, I wanted to try something a bit more intensive, @khtrammell's Abe Lincoln Sculpt. Locally it would have taken ~11 hours, but rendered it in 2.5 hours with 4 GPU instances. ☕️ #b3d #cycles Render Details: baristarender.com/posts/cg-c…

While making render updates, let's test some LuxCore cloud renders? #b3d #luxcore barista.mavenseed.com/posts/…
