Renderman export

#1

Hi there,

Just curious if there’s a rib export plugin for messiah or if there could ever be one.
Otherwise is there a way of getting animations out of messiah to
render externally with Renderman? :slight_smile:

Cheers.

Autodesk make a few plugins for Messiah that work quite well at allowing you to animate in Messiah yet render in Renderman. I think they call them Maya and 3DStudio Max. :twisted:

Just use the plugin or .mdd to get your animation into those apps and then you have access to all sorts of renderman plugins. And Mental Ray, Vray, Brazill and Final Render.

The problem of course is finding a reason to validate that cost over just using Messiah’s very powerful built in renderer. . .

Thanks Wegg, yes I understand what the plugins are :smiley:

I’m not saying there’s anything wrong with the messiah renderer, on the contrary.
Just there don’t seem to be a lot of pugins for messiah, only mdd exporters?

Any case only reason I asked was that it would be nice to have an alternative renderer,
with hybrid technology or even without raytracing?
So ray tracing is the only option with messiah standalone at this stage.

Still saving my pennies tho’ :thumbsup:
