Both Free 3DelightNSI and 3DelightNSI come with the following components:
| Plug-ins | |
|---|---|
| 3Delight for Maya | Our proprietary rendering plug-in for Autodesk® Maya®. → User's Manual |
| 3Delight for Katana | Our proprietary rendering plug-in for Foundry's KATANA. Note that 3Delight is built-in KATANA free of charge for interactive renders. For this reason, 3Delight for Katana is not included as part of the Free 3DelightNSI package. → User's Manual |
| Standalone Tools | |
renderdl | The command line NSI renderer. This programs reads a binary or ASCII-encoded NSI files and outputs an image. |
| An advanced image viewer offering several unique features: image layers presentation in contact sheet form, thumbnail view of previous renders and easy A/B comparaison, graphical presentation of rendering statistics, real-time light mixer and user friendly tools to inspect images in details. * The command line to launch 3Delight Display is The application is named i-display for launching 3Delight Display using the command line. |
oslc | The Open Shading Language compiler. It can be used to compile custom OSL shader nodes both for Maya's HyperShade and Katana. * The compiler is provided with the package for convenience and is built from the main source tree without modifications. |
tdlmake | The texture optimizer. This program reads a number of input image files and produces a TIFF optimized texture for the renderer. * 3Delight now automatically optimize textures if they are not so no user action is necessary in the general case. Optimizing textures by hand prior to rendering could potentially save a little bit of time at render start. |
| Libraries | |
lib3delight | A library that can be linked to other applications to render images. The library implements the NSI API. |
