digitallysane Posted February 4, 2008 Share Posted February 4, 2008 3Delight is free for the first license. It's a very nice RenderMan compatible renderer. Dragos Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jason Posted February 4, 2008 Share Posted February 4, 2008 No and no. However, Mantra is very cool and the VEX shading language bears many similarities to RSL too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
altbighead Posted February 4, 2008 Share Posted February 4, 2008 speaking of Mantra, I would really love to see houdini rendering TD going through the indepth of using mantra like this guy from Gnomon. http://www.thegnomonworkshop.com/dvds/mha01.html http://www.thegnomonworkshop.com/dvds/mha02.html http://www.thegnomonworkshop.com/dvds/mha03.html Stu ? Jason? any takers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tamis Posted February 4, 2008 Author Share Posted February 4, 2008 (edited) However, Mantra is very cool and the VEX shading language bears many similarities to RSL too. I rather use mantra then RenderMan because it's a embedid renderer, the reason i wan't a renderer that understands RIB is because i wan't to follow the examples given in the books . Could be translated to mantra i gues but still would be a pain to do so.. Edited February 4, 2008 by Tamis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
symek Posted February 4, 2008 Share Posted February 4, 2008 (edited) ... but still would be a pain to do so.. ...no, it wouldn't. I constantly rewrite renderman shaders into mantra and this is almost semi-automatic process. At least in case of simply shaders. Some advanced aspects may differs. Basics are the same. Paste your shaders here and we'll see how to deal with it (I hope someone can ). It can be even interesting topic for newbies. RSL-> Vex exercises... sy.

Tamis Posted February 4, 2008 Author Share Posted February 4, 2008 i wish i could but i'm not at the shader writing part of the book yet i'm still at the beginning of the book where alot of theory is being explained to me (wicked!!) there are some easy examples of RIB like Worldbegin, Worldend and Sphere. still realy basic stuff.(witch i want to try out any way). would be fun tho writing some RSL/VEX and people adding changing commenting on it. of to bed now school tommorow, cya!!

rob Posted February 4, 2008 Share Posted February 4, 2008 (edited) You do realise , that you can render with 3delight to test shaders without the need for a 3d application ? . I would suggest you go and download "cutter " http://www.fundza.com/cutter/about/index.html & http://www.fundza.com/ rob Edited February 4, 2008 by rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
