Re the Luxrender materials site

 

"Hi,

The LRMDB is now offline until the upgrades are complete.

The new LRMDB is to have a fairly extensive XMLRPC interface so that software other than the web-interface can use it. If anyone would like to see the XMLRPC specification for it, in order to start developing client programs, please PM me for details. Of course, the main purpose of such an interface is for exporter integration. XMLRPC libraries should be easily available for all major programming languages; it is built in to the python standard library, for example (xmlrpclib).

This new interface could also mean being able to have an Air/Flex (Flash) type app for desktop or web use - again, if anyone thinks this is a good idea, let me know.

Cheers,
Doug."
