LuxBlend v0.1 Alpha9 roadmap

[ideasman42]

reading blend files would be nice, but dosnt have to be 'real'
you can trigger blender in the background, to write out the lux format. if you wanted I can make the exporter run behind the scenes.

as for the blender interface, I wouldnt worry about the 2.5 rewrite, but using it is still probably a bad idea... unless you use it from within blender.

Hey ideasman42,

did you get my mail regarding the instancing ?
you'll also be contacted by zcott, he's gonna be coordinating exporter development...

Hi, i suggest to make a proper design GUI like the one for Blender ! with a left side panel for custom render and options windows, and a prefs saving fonction to get back some configurations on top...



That's what i think what i dream about working with a complete 3D animation suite !!!

Not to look to much to what others have done, but this was one of the reasons that I love working in Kerkythea. Some love to work on text files. Not me. I don't love re-exporting the whole scene from Blender (or other program) over and over just to use a GUI. I'd love the ability to have a full blown GUI where I could continue to work right in Lux tweaking the parameters and then test rendering them.

Hi there
nice to see some more promising renderer projects out here and some nice exporter for blender that makes it an enjoyment to play around with'em.
Having done some coding on first indigo-exporter and also initiated the blendigo material editor, i am always curious to help/contribute on some exporter coding to make this great new renderer available to blender artists.
So if you see some benefit please let me know "zuegs at bluewin dt ch"

please, carry on with this nice project,
rgds zuegs .
