Contributing to BSDF

There are several ways that you can contribute to BSDF. From contributing bugs in the issue tracker, to providing fixes and improvements, or even contributing new implementations.

Since BSDF is designed to be simple, implementations are usually restricted to a single module. The BSDF Gitlab repo contains implementations for several languages, organized in sub directories. This allows testing each implementation using a "test service", and ensures compatibility between the different implementations.

The tooling around BSDF is implemented in Python. For development, you need Python 3.x and the invoke library (pip install invoke).

To run tasks such as tests, run invoke from the root repo to get started.

To start contributing an enhancement or new implementation, please start by making an issue to start the discussion. The actual code will be contributed via pull requests.

It is expected that each implementation will be more or less maintained by its own group of contributors.

BSDF does not have an official code of conduct yet, but let's just say that we expect respect from and towards all contributors, and will not tolerate discrimination or trolling.
