More renderer exporter goodness 2004-04-10 - By Simon Windmill

While we're on the subject of 3rd party renderers and crazy deals, I do
have a wacky proposition. I have a Renderman exporter for trueSpace,
something I've worked on for literally years. It can be used with
practically any Renderman renderer, from Pixar's $3500 PRMan to the free
- and in many cases about as full-featured - renderers such as Aqsis,
Pixie, or 3Delight. It supports NURBS and polys, subdivision surfaces,
some support for curves, various illumination and rendering methods
depending on the renderer used, and I started hacking a fur generator
onto it for example. For several reasons, I'm not going to be releasing
this exporter commercially (or for free), but I will trade for it. For
vintage video game systems.
If you can get me a fully working setup for any of the following
systems, I will give you a copy of the exporter and keep you up to date
whenever I improve it:
Nintendo Entertainment System (NES)
Super Nintendo Entertainment System (SNES)
Nintendo 64
Sega Saturn
Sega Genesis
Sega Dreamcast
Mattel Intellivision
If any of you really want to take me up on this (and it is real!) please
contact me. here'll be a couple of stipulations, such as NTSC only, but
I don't care if you've had the system for years or just buy one off of
eBay as long as it works. Obviously I don't particularly need 4 N64s, so
it'll be a best offer wins situation for each system.
I'd be open to other offers too - Rez for the PS2? Intelligent Qube for
the PSX? Virtual Boy? TG-16? A spare GBA? A full Bubble Bobble
arcade cabinet? What about computers - got an Amiga lying around? Mmm?
(Should I be coming up with these ideas at 12:45am after a long week?
At least I haven't been drinking. Yet.)
Simon.
