Mitsuba Exporter

Since both Vertex Colors and Texture Coordinates are in the Sample space, I got UV's for free!

Hey great work... Mitsuba looks amazing, and your work on the exporter is great.

I had one question, how does mitsuba handle output? Im guessing aov's are not implemented yet but is there any settings for handling what file format to output and similar?

[TwinSnakes007]

Nope, no AOV's. The output format is XML. Mitsuba can also be interacted with via Python, as it exposes a Python API that's almost a 1:1 mapping to the C++ codebase.

I was busy testing the new RedShift renderer [which is REALLY great btw]. But, now I'm back working on Mitsuba. RedShift dropped 32bit OS support and my main box with my GPU's is still on 32bit, so I'm cant continue testing.

I'll be putting together some videos on how to build the Mitsuba plugin, and work with the Exporter this weekend.

Ah, Thanks for the heads up, a video for compiling and set-up would be awesome...
Best of luck with the plug-in, cant wait to test it out in xsi.

I'll post Part 2 tomorrow after work about how to setup a scene.

EDIT: There's a bug in the video. You want to install TortoiseHg instead of Mercurial.
