With OSL in Blender now it is possible to use RSL code (with some editing) to make shader nodes in Blender. Open Shading Language killed off the idea in a quick blow. Since then I have lost touch with the studio, sad.Ģ. There was only one studio that I worked with trying to get this pipeline to work effectively, which for some time they did only to switch to "industry" tools because of some client that requested it. These studios have pretty much ignored it entirely. So why would the average Blender user? Well the IDEA was to get more visual effects and animation studios to look at Blender in a new light, that the tools can be used in their pipelines with Pixar's Renderman. It is a specialist field and even I have trouble writing code from scratch. They want simplicity, in such that they want to add shaders and lights, hit render and VOILA. While there are a few dedicated supporters of this, which I can only thank you from the bottom of my heart, the vast majority of Blender users do not care. This is true and it has been proven time and time again. Blender to Renderman does not seem to be interesting for most Blender users. On one hand I want to continue to support the idea, on the other hand I want to give up. I had this passion for Blender and Renderman for YEARS and then with the death of Project Widow so did that passion. As some of you may have noticed, is no longer mine, as of today I noticed it is now some spam site and honestly I do not care.
