User Annotations
SLIDE is designed for real time rendering. The domain of
primitives and rendering techniques which can be achieved in real time
is limited. SLIDE does not attempt to provide parameters for ray
tracing and radiosity rendering. To make SLIDE a useful tool for
modeling and previewing photorealistic scenes the RIB String
annotations have been added to the language. SLIDE allows users to
annotate SLIDE primitives with application specific comments. The
SLIDE renderer will ingore this information while rendering, but the
data will be transferred through the interface when a RIB file is
exported. Other annotations may be added later including ones to aid
in solid modeling.
RIB String
ribbegin "string" |
Renderman specific ASCII data which will be written just before the primitive when outputting a RIB file |
ribend "string" |
Renderman specific ASCII data which will be written just after the primitive when outputting a RIB file |
