Have any of you out there had any success in rendering Poser scenes in Renderman-compliant such as BMRT or Aqsis? I've seen very little mention of the RIB export feature on the 'net. I have found that the exported RIB file needs a bit of tweaking before it is usable: 1) Replace all backslashes () with forward slashes (/). 2) Change all ".jpg" or ".bmp" extensions to ".tif" 3) Make sure you have TIFF versions of all your textures. 4) If you're using AQSIS, remove the "ScreenWindow" command near line 8. AQSIS doesn't handle this. 5) If you're using AQSIS, remove all the 'Displacement "null"' shader references. AQSIS doesn't understand this, and tries to find a shader named "null". 6) Add a "Display" command in front of the first "Format" command (around line 6), to define your output file: Display "filename.tif" "tiff" "rgba" Has anyone else tried this? Thanks for the input, Lynn Grant Castle Development Group

Hmmm...first line should have said "Renderman-compliant renderers"

You could as well replace the backslashes with double backslashes, at least that's what I usually do for BMRT/Windows.

A little history: Apparently the Poser 4 RIB format was patched just before the pathname interface in the Renderman spec was changed to UNIX style for BMRT, hence the incompatibilities.
