RENDERMAN CONVERTER

This Converter writes RIB files as used by Pixar's RenderMan. It adds one entry to the conversion lists:

RenderMan .RIB

These RIB files are ASCII files. These files are not ready-to-render RenderMan scenes. They must be integrated into other RenderMan scripts and scenes. The conversion is provided as a convenience for people who work regularly in RenderMan, as an easy way to convert foreign file formats to rudimentary RenderMan scripts.

Geometry
Each polygon is written as a simple RenderMan polygon. Each object is in its own named Attribute.

Material attributes
No shaders are created, although Interchange material names are stored in comments with the accompanying polygons.

Options dialog
This Converter has no options on its dialog.
