Colimo has existed for a long time now, and funnily enough, I don't know one person using it in production.
A bit gadget IMHO, nice to play with things like that when you need to output a few images, but I bet it becomes more complicated with real world projects. Certainly worth investigating though.
I can't agree, 80% of my work is web configurators, and so i have to output hundreds of texture / shaders variations in the same ambiance picture...
A working colimo would be a serious plus, for me and all 3D guys i know that have to work for those kind of projects...
Kitchens, Bathrooms, floors, wallpapers, furnitures, and even Billardstables (i'm right now working on a billards project)...
Ok, for architecture / short films, it can be a funny gadget, not for a lot of more industrial projects

Yup, I understand. That's why I ended with "certainly worth investigating though" ;)
In my CG friends, there's no one working on web configurators like you, hence my statement, really dependent of my own point of view. I'm just prudent with tools that look amazing on a YouTube video demo, but that are far less amazing once in production ... again, that doesn't mean there's nothing interesting to look :)
