Standalone Tools | |
renderdl | The command line NSI renderer. This programs program reads a binary or ASCII-encoded NSI files and outputs an image. |
i-display | An advanced image viewer , capable of showing ongoing renders and sequence playbackoffering 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 application is named i-display for launching using the command line. |
oslc | The Open Shading Language (OSL) 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 . It can be used to compile custom OSL shader nodes both for Maya and Katana. |
tdlmake | The texture optimizer. This program reads a number of input image files and produces a TIFF optimized texture for the renderer. * 3Delight now 3Delight will automatically optimize textures if they are not already optimized so . 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. |
