In our last post we explored using the RealityServer compositing system to produce imagery for product configurators at scale. Check out that article first if you haven’t already as it contains a great introduction to how the system works. In this follow up post we will explore the possibilities of using the same system to modify the lighting in a scene without having to re-render, allowing us to build a lighting configurator.

RealityServer 5.1 introduced a new way to generate images of configurations of your scenes without the need to re-render them from scratch. We call this Compositing even though it’s actually very different to traditional compositing techniques. In this article we will dive into the detail of how to use the new system to render without rendering and speed up your configurator.

RealityServer 5.1 introduced new functionality for working with canvases in V8. In this post I’m going to show you how to do some basic things like resizing and accessing individual canvas pixels. We’ll build a fun little command to render a scene and process the result into a piece of interactive ASCII art. Of course, this doesn’t have much practical utility but it’s a great way to learn about this new feature!
