Cool, great to see Cycles being used in various environments. :) <br>

As far as I know, all nodes are wrapped in the XML API. There are
some settings missing I guess (integrator..), but the nodes should
be complete. If not, this can be fixed easily. Just tell us if
something doesn't work. <br>

UV Coordinates support is not supported in XML yet I think, have to
