VRML Import

Postby Anandir » Wed Apr 28, 2010 11:30 am

Hello everyone.
First of all I hope to post in this topic in the right place.
I would like to know if LuxRender could import VRML 1.0 files or if there are plane to do that.

Thanks in advance!

Hi,

Technically if someone was willing to code it, LuxRender could import geometry from VRLM files, however the preferred way of using those file formats is to simply import the files in a 3D app like Blender, set it up, and export it to LuxRender.

Technically speaking I'm going to be graduated in Computer Science and, if I find some spare time for it, I could try to implement it.
This could interest someone or not?

Thanks anyway for the reply^^!

Hi,

If you want to implement it, go for it, however I think it's going to be better to import the mesh in a 3D app because you'll then have control over materials which will be impossible with a direct import.
