[K3d-development] Pixie contact/activity

[Joe C. <joe...@gm...>]

We should get in touch with these guys and let them know that there is
an open source 3D authoring suite developing with pixel/renderman
support. I think I'll fire off an email.

If you haven't used it in a while there is a good chance that
development has progressed. The activity on sourceforge is rated quite
high, and they just released a version a couple days ago.


In terms of setting options like turning on raytracing etc... would
you expect it to work? (From k3d's end not from pixie's end). Are the
controls there in k3d to interface with its features, or is that
something that has never been added. (I could definitely see that
being a lot of work.)

Any info you have great... otherwise, I guess I'll just have to test it and=
 see!
