How are you optimizing over textures? Do you have a differentiable renderer? Or are you not calculating those gradients via backpropagation?

[anishathalye]

Yeah, we implemented a differentiable renderer.

[highd]

Please release it! There are a lot of applications for a differentiable renderer that's compatible with DNN libraries.

[anishathalye]

Yeah, totally agree that it could be useful to the community -- open-sourcing it under a permissive license is on our todo list :)

It's a reasonable amount of effort to disentangle it from the rest of our code and build a nice API, so it will be several weeks till we get around to this.

please do, this could be a huge contribution to the community.
