Re: Fryrender plugin support

[Jean-Sebastien Perron]

Fuck them, Fry render is the most closed and arrogant renderer in the world. Let them die or stay where they are (ignored). They never released their scene description language and by looking at it, it's a mess. RS need to be compatible with any Renderman compliant renderer. Most of them are free and otherwise cheap. Because what RS is lacking is Scanline Rendering and Speed. By the way, CombadZ is fully compatible with Fryrender, but I don't want anything to do with them.

But rendering with third party plugins would mean some serious changes. Solid objects won't be possible, everything will have to be turned into SDS/polygonal objects. VSL will be of no use anymore. All the materials will have to be created to work with the render engine. I doubt if this is what most Realsoft users like. I always liked the special things of Realsoft like the VSL and solid objects. I'm afraid the mainstream production market is quite covered by the other apps. So I guess Realsoft is more for the users that like the special options. However I must admit that these specialties have some severe limitations. In terms of production, VSL is far too technical and time consuming to create nice materials.  Solids have limitations if you want to add bevels, deform them or things like that. But if Vesa and Juha find some solution that could bring the high quality rendering to Realsoft without losing VSL and solids it would be very impressive.   Anyway, I'm even not sure if Fryrender is the best choise. I chose Vray, which is not an unbiased renderer lik Fry or Maxwell. But it's a lot faster. And IMHO it renders very nice images too. But as always there are a lot of different opinions when it comes to choosing a render app. And all the software galeries show the nicest results of their users. Here are some results of myself: Two different interior projects I did this year (rendered with Vray): http://www.xs4all.nl/~joly/show/kantoor.html and http://www.xs4all.nl/~joly/show/wrobel.html Both completely different atmosphere in terms of style. Modern/clean office; the other an private flat in Paris.     Arjo.   Van: owner-l...@light.realsoft3d.com [mailto:owner-l...@light.realsoft3d.com] Namens Jason Saunders Verzonden: maandag 19 juli 2010 17:03 Aan: user-list@light.realsoft3d.com Onderwerp: Fryrender plugin support   Hi,   Any votes for development starting on a plug-in for using this render engine in Realsoft ?   Seeing as all the other major and not so major 3D apps have it supported, makes sense to try and catch up me thinks.   www.randomcontrol.com/fryrender-gallery   Regards   Jason
