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 Houdini | Our proprietary rendering plug-in for Side FX's Houdini. → User's Manual |
| 3Delight for Cinema 4D | Our proprietary rendering plug-in for Maxon Computer's Cinema 4D. → User's Manual |
| 3Delight for Katana | Our proprietary rendering plug-in for Foundry's KATANA. Note that 3Delight is built-in KATANA and available for 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 program reads a binary or ASCII-encoded NSI files and outputs an image. |
i-display | 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 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. |
