Progress...

[haggi]

Just to show that the implementation is goin on. The very basic features are here:

- preview in renderview
- geometry export
- camera position

Oh my.. that's awesome. Will you be able to also get corona scatter into maya? I really miss some decent scattering tools in maya.

[haggi]

No idea yet. Let's see if I can implement XGen first.

[Polymax]

this very good news!!!

Awesome, how exciting.  Is your progress updated to your github repository?

Edit: Ah, I guess I need access to the API to build the plugin?

Go ahead and ask keymaster. Since you already did quite good blender exporter, i am sure keymaster will share API with you ;)

yes. But blender licence is incompatible with the API licence, and the API is in C++, so...

thks for the good news, really excited to learn that.
 Hope it can be available soon.

But this thread is for the Corona to Maya plugin :)  I was just asking out of curiosity, actually; I took a look at haggi's work and thought I'd try to build his plugin, but I realized I need access to the API to build it.

Indeed, the github repository contains the latest version. For compilation you would need the api and some further instructions - it is not yet very well documented by me.

Unfortunatly we have a problem with textures. The way it works for 3dsmax and Cinema will not work in maya. So what we will have is:
- normal surface shaders
- environment lighting
- sun light
- instancing, particle instancing
- motion blur

But no or only very basic texturing at first. Sorry.

Your doing a great job Haggi!  Can't wait and thanks!

[haggi]

Thanks.

Yesterday I implement the particle instancer correctly and as able to use a per instance shader emission color override. The emission depends on rgbPP. This way we can do quite cool stuff.
I'll post an image later this evening.

[haggi]

Here is an example image. The small skulls are derived from a particle system with emission manipulated with an rgbPP particle attribute.

When will we be able to see some builds of your work?? :D
