Hi Brecht,<div>a short (sort of) related question:<br><div><br></div><div>For engines that are not doing realtime rendering, will the API allow for custom glsl code to be hooked up in the material system for pre-visualize the materials?</div>
<div>Or this is outside the scope of cycles/render api?</div><div><br></div><div>Thanks,</div><div>Dalai<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">2011/5/4 Brecht Van Lommel <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:brecht@blender.org">brecht@blender.org</a>></span><br>
<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex;">Hi,<br>
<br>
That's indeed the intention. I need some time still to work out plans,<br>
but I think design discussion can start soon. There's quite a few<br>
things to cover: preview and viewport rendering, data synchronization,<br>
pluggable node system, texturing workflow and faster data access<br>
through C/C++, and other things you may come up with. It's probably<br>
best do discuss these one by one, with me writing up a proposal, and<br>
then we can discuss it further.<br>
<br>
There's already this wiki page for render API feedback from a while<br>
ago, a similar list from Yafaray integration developers would be<br>
useful.<br>

<br>
Anyway, I'll do a proper announcement later on.<br>
<br>
Brecht.<br>
