[Bf-cycles] Coordination

[Dalai Felinto]

Hi Brecht,
a short (sort of) related question:

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?
Or this is outside the scope of cycles/render api?

Thanks,
Dalai
