Info

Ayam ist eine freie 3D Modellier-Umgebung für das RenderMan Interface (ehemals bekannt als "The Mops").

On which platforms is Ayam available?
Ayam is primarily aimed at the platforms BMRT (Blue Moon Rendering Tools, a RenderMan compliant renderer by Larry Gritz (Exluna)) runs on (those are Linux, IRIX, and Win32). Despite of this, Ayam may be used on many more platforms with any RenderMan compliant renderer. Due to limitations in the Win32 operating system(s) (no backlinking) and the current implementation of Ayam, dynamic loading of custom objects is currently not available on the Win32 platform!

For platforms where BMRT is not available (e.g. FreeBSD or NetBSD), Ayam may be compiled with code from the Affine Toolkit with limited functionality (see also the file INSTALL). In this case, no parsing of slc compiled shaders will be possible.

What are the features of Ayam?
Here is a short summary:

  • RIB (RenderMan Interface Bytestream) Export und Import.
  • Support für NURBS Kurven, interpolierte Kurven, (trimmed) NURBS surfaces, bilinear und bicubic patches und patch meshes, Boxes, Quadrics (Sphere, Disk, Cylinder, Cone, Hyperboloid, Paraboloid und Torus), MetaBalls, polygonal meshes, subdivision meshes und mehr.
  • Alle Primitiven sind kombinierbar mit CSG-Operationen: Intersection, Difference, und Union.
  • NURBS modeling includes extrude, revolve, sweep and skin operations (with caps, holes, and bevels) realized as Tool-Objects.
  • Custom objects that may freely implement their representations (using OpenGL and RIB) and even small GUIs to edit their type specific parameters may be written by the user and dynamically loaded at runtime.
  • Scripting interface: Tcl.
  • Misc: instancing, arbitrary number of modeling views, object clipboard, independent property clipboard, console, n level undo.
