<p>Hi everyone,<br>
</p>
<div class="moz-forward-container">V-Ray is going to release a new
Vray-Blender version. It's based on linking via a protocol (to
send data over). It's meant to be compatible with the GPL. <br>

<div class="moz-forward-container">Since I'm not an expert, people
might be interested in looking at how it was done.</div>
<div class="moz-forward-container">It's very nice to have their
sources anyway. Good practice to share that with us!</div>

Haven't written you for quite some time... bumping an
email thread from 2013 :)<br>
<br>
Congrats with the amazing 2.8!<br>
Very impressive!<br>
<br>
Basically, same old story...<br>
We are ready with some new version of V-Ray for
Blender with the IPR support...<br>
<br>
And we wanna make sure we are not violating GPL.<br>
<br>
The draft of what we've did is:<br>
1. Patched version of Blender with the ZMQ
(<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://zeromq.org/">http://zeromq.org/</a>) based message protocol.<br>
2. ZMQ server with V-Ray AppSDK (server is open
source, V-Ray ApppSDK closed).<br>
<br>
A bit more detailed diagram is attached.<br>
<br>
This should be very similar to what Octane guys have
done (but I've never seen there sources...).<br>
<br>
