Pixar Showplace 20 Kit

From "murdock@pixar.com (Mike Murdock)" Tue Aug 24 23:07:29 1993 Date: Mon, 23 Aug 93 07:17 PST From: murdock@pixar.com (Mike Murdock) Subject: ribplugindevkit.hqx This file contains the Pixar Showplace 2.0 RIB Plug-in Developer's Kit. You will need Think 5.04 or later for use with this file. This will allow you to develop RenderMan Interface Bytestream Plug-in Modules for use with Showplace 2.0 from Pixar. Like Photoshop, Plug-ins offer users the ability to have additional functionality added to a program by people that like to code! We believe that this will increase the popularity of Showplace, and bring more realistic pictures to the industry. America Online users have already downloaded this kit, and begun development efforts on many types of plug-ins. The purpose of these plug-ins is to generate geometry in an otherwise non-modeling type of program. Showplace does not allow you to model in 3D, but rather to import objects that have been designed in a modeler. Now with the plug-ins you can make your own geometry. This kit does ship with Showplace, but if you do not have Showplace 2.0, then you can use this to develop without it. Mike Murdock murdock@pixar.com
