For a production renderer, exr is extremly important. It simplyfies life a lot.

[Max] Feature Requests / Re: Which 3D soft to integrate into next?

Fine. Would it be possible to send me an email as soon as you have a working version? I don't want to bother you with my API questions.

Hi, I optimized my workflow for the integration of renderers in maya with a few python scripts. I used Corona as a test case and implemented the UI and basic plugin.
If you want to have a look: https://vimeo.com/62988729
Of course noting is rendered, but the basic environment is done quite fast. As soon as there will be an API, the render window will hopefully be filled with a rendered image ;)

Just discovered this thread. Like others I prefer plugin renderers without the need to export and edit scenes to be able to get a good rendering.
The biggest problem with standalone applications is the interactivity. As soon as it comes to interactive editing of a scene, the communicatin with standalone renderers can be a problem (even if it works as we can see in houdini with mantra).
Standalones were necessary in the good old times when ram was extremly expensive and the 3d application blocked memory that was necessary for rendering.
That is the reason why I try to implement renderers for maya if they provide an API (openMaya.net).
So I vote for maya ;)

So you mean I can try to use it for an maya implementation?

Sorry for popping up this thread, but it seems to be the correct one.
I have no idea if corona is still under development, but if so then I'd be interested in creating a interface for maya.
I use the OpenMaya framework (https://github.com/haggi/OpenMaya) to implement Appleseed. Have a look at vimeo, there are some videos showing how it works for Appleseed ( ).
It worked as well for Krakatoa and it's KrakatoaSR (unfortunatly a propriatary implementation because Thinkbox will not allow me to open the interface to the public) and for an older version of mantra. At the moment I'm working on a interface for Kray, current a lightwave only renderer.
So if there is any interest for such an implementation, it would be an pleasure for me to try it.
