3Delight globals visible in the Render Manager addon?
hi guys,
I'm just testing rendering through the pass globals, using the Render Manager (RM).
When i set 3delight as the Scene Renderer in the RM, it'd be cool if the 3delight globals for that pass could be shown instead of the mental ray globals.
To set the 3Delight globals for a pass, i currently have to open an explorer in Pass view mode, and inspect the 3Delight globals from there.
I haven't done any dev using the new XSI6+ render pass scheme, so i'm not sure if it indeed possible, but i guess it should be ;)
Is this the behaviour that other testers see?
thanks,
benp

Hi Benn
Yes agree, that would be nice, I'm setting the RM *pass renderer* too Delight and then using render/renderer Options to set options etc, if the Renderer Tab in the RM could change to Delight options then this would indeed by nice :-)
Thanks

I agree as well. Took a bit to realize what was going on, with so many options still visible.

Hello,
Well, I am not sure if this is on our side or on Softimage's side, I would expect that behaviour too. I have absolutely no clue about this thing so I better ask Halfdan ... :)

I think Chinny was working on improving it and it may show up in XSI 6.5, or as a separate addon. I'll ask him when he's back from vacation.

Re: 3Delight globals visible in the Render Manager addon?
I have a new Render Manager which I could not finish for 6.5
It is completely re-written (see completely easier and less confusing)
One new thing is the auto-detection of 3rd party renderers.
I honestly did not think there would be new renderers so quickly.
Thanks Half and Aghiles :-)
Who knows we might do a 6.5.1 (it has been known to happen) in which case it should go in, else I will post the new package on XSIBase
I will package it and send it here first, but it requires manual install as I have changed some factory SPDLs too
