MaterialX

[Njen]

Hey devs, do you have any thoughts on MaterialX, and would you consider a Corona implementation?

[Ondra]

well, it just came out ;) - so no opinion yet. We will watch it and see what happens.

Is this a straight alternative to Substance? If so that's interesting. Competition is good, but when trying to establish a standard, it's important that the community agrees upon that standard relatively quickly, otherwise we just end up back at the start again.

definitely not, substance is a way to generate data, this is a way to transmit data. If there is reasonable way to write shaders in it, we will be interested as it could solve a lot of our problems (standalone rendering, cinema4D vs. 3dsmax interop, ...)

Cool. Sounds good...
