[PLUGIN]MITSUBA Render Exporter v1.5.0(20141109)

[tak2hata]

Hi,All.
I update this to v1.2.4. in 2014-03-21.
I finally understood this problem of running mtsimport.
I add code setting current directory in ruby.
So mtsimport will make "textures" in setter directory.
Thanks John.

Thanks John, I feel like a right muppet not including specs, not as if I do not know, please put it down to a muppet day. I have tried the 64 bit program from that site/location.

Specs as in the attached image.

NVIDIA graphics card 1gb vram. This is updated as of about 1 week ago for drivers.

Hi,Mike.
There is "vcredist_2013_x64.exe" in folder unzipped mitsuba render package.
It is microsoft visual studio 2014 x64 redisributable package"
Please install it.
Mitsuba will work.

Thanks!

thank you...

next thought is, can we 'tag the view' before export, and if it is the 'same tag' after a materials tweak, skip the geometry re-creation? maybe an update button on the materials dialog?

Hi
Cool Rendering image.

Very nice ones!
Any ideas of the rendering time for one image?

[driven]

this one is a 13.3 MB skp file, the others took less time each.

[Mike Amos]

OK, got the plugin working, sort of . The ui I get when runinning mitsuba do0es not allow for changing mats/textures etc, is there a ui I am missing or is there a simple explanation I am missing? I get that I do not have the full picture and having found the readme file in the mitsuba directory am kicking myself for my earlier question ans the answer is there. What am I missing?

@mike

the materials editor is part of this plugin, load it through the SCF download tool and it open mitsuba after you use it.

Hi,john.
This script roundup the matrix values.
42 line of code in mitsuba_main.rb
Please Delete that line.
The error will not appear.
Now I still can not return to home.
So I can not edit this script for a month.
Please modify it yourself.
Thanks.

I am not sure this is related to this exporter plugin but allow me to ask it:
I tried rendering an animation with mitsuba and all worked fine apart that I got the frames in .exr format that is not supported by virtualdub so I can't make a movie of it;
how to change the output format of animation frames?
Sorry for my noobness, best regards and thanks in advance.

for exr's there a very good open source app http://www.darktable.org/about/features/

Sorry, I forgot to say I am on windows 8.1.
Also, I could use an app to concert single exr images to jpg but when I have hundreds of frames, it becomes impossible to do it manually.
Sorry if I miss something about that app or anything else, as I said before I am still a newbie.
Thanks

P.S.:It would be great if you could make mitsuba render animation of objects done with Proper Animation plugin or other similar tools.
