Title: Plans for supporting other apps
Post by: SreckoM on 2012-10-29, 19:19:41

I am new to this forum, and must say that I am pretty much amazed by gallery and capabilities of Corona :D
Also having rawalnche here as resident artist says for itself  :D

Unfortunately I do not use 3dsMax, will there be support for other applications, like XSI :D , in near future?

Keep up great work!

If I had penny for every time this question is asked, I would have actually enough money to hire a programmer to do the connection ;)

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.

yes, it is still under development, and Alpha v4 will have a (non-public) easy-to-use API

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