lynch_ppl Posted December 13, 2006 Share Posted December 13, 2006 Can someone let me know which environment variables and/or what I have to do in order to have the RenderMan ROP render with 3delight directly in houdini? As a side note, how can one write out a RIB that contains the camera and lights? With the archive ROP, its seems that you have to read the RIBs into another RIB containing the worldbegin, camera and ligths to get it to work. any help is much appreciated.

edward Posted December 14, 2006 Share Posted December 14, 2006 Do a search for 3delight on the forums here and at sidefx.com ... it's been brought up before. As for rendering out RIBs, turn on Generate Script in the Renderman ROP and put in the name of a .rib as the script output. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Overload Posted December 14, 2006 Share Posted December 14, 2006 In the renderman ROP, you can change it from Renderman to 3Delight. Also make sure you change the renderer from "prman" to "renderdl" (you may need to set the whole path). 3Delight has to be running in the background too. I never got 3delight working very well though, it acts very funny with lights and shadows sometimes. If you find a good way to get them working please post it Cheers Anthony Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
