Industry:
C++, XSI C++ API, Mentel Ray
Technologies:
Computer Graphics
In this project we made a XSI plug-in to translate rendering parameters of Softimage XSI to an external engine akin to MentelRay. Our job was to enable XSI to render all scenes with all native materials and lights etc. with the external engine . The rendering result matched or exceeds the native renderer of Softimage XSI due to the enhanced rendering capabilities and additional options available.
