A Mathematica interface for the Renderman RIB protocol.
I wrote this starting back in 2004, therefore, it is very much out of date in terms of
- RenderMan
- RIP in general
- Mathematica
- Xcode
I believe I originally wrote this with RenderMan version 12 and Mathematica version 6 or 7. It uses MathLink which is now depreiciated by Wolfram.
Still, you can probably compile it up with all these old systems.
I'm presently in the process of upgrading it for
- RenderMan 21
- Mathematica 11
- Xcode 8
Every day, someone asks me — "Shouldn't this be MathRib or something more (or less) clever?"
I have no idea why I named the project this, other than the fact that, as a wee lad, I very much enjoied the MacRib™ sandwich from McDonalds. "Math" and "Mac" sound alike. I've got nothing.
I have worked for both of the companies involved in this little merging of ideas. I don't work at either any more. But, you can find me at flip@skidmore.edu and/or http://www.skidmore.edu/~flip
