RmanConnect

January 7, 10 //

A RenderMan Interface-compatible display driver and Nuke plugin for direct rendering into the Nuke interface.  RmanConnect is based on a simple Client/Server model, suitable for rendering to/from a variety of applications. The TCP/IP interface code is handled using the Boost.Asio library. The display driver will theoretically build using any RenderMan-compatible renderer but the included CMake build script assumes you have 3Delight installed.

Blender

January 7, 10 //

Blender is an integrated application that enables the creation of a broad range of 2D and 3D content.  Blender provides a broad spectrum of modeling, texturing, lighting, animation and video post-processing functionality in one package.  Through its open architecture, Blender provides cross-platform interoperability, extensibility, a small footprint, and a tightly integrated workflow.

Aimed world-wide at media professionals and artists, Blender can be used to create 3D visualizations, stills as well as broadcast and cinema quality videos, while the incorporation of a real-time 3D engine allows for the creation of 3D interactive content for stand-alone playback.

Originally developed by the company ‘Not a Number’ (NaN), Blender now is continued as ‘Free Software’, with the source code available under the GNU GPL license. It now continues development by the Blender Foundation in the Netherlands.
