[Bf-committers] Render API: Framework and Scene Break-Down

Aaron (and others),
Quick feature idea. Not sure how this would work into a plugin or your API.  Maybe it would more integrate into the compositing section of blender.  But I was thinking about how a lot of feature production work splits up effects into the separate renders and then composites them together.  With the large number of different renderers that could potentially be available it would be interesting/nice to allow different parts of a scene to be rendered with different renderers.  For instance you could use the blender internal renderer for most of the work and possibly use the Free-Style renderer for certain parts for an interesting style/mix.  Just an idea.  Not sure how it may or may not impact your API design.  Thought I'd throw it out there.
