l2rib Description

l2rib is a straight-forward, command-line utility that will help you convert LDraw models to a RenderMan compliant format. In other words, it reads .DAT files, and writes RIB files which can then be rendered by RenderMan renderers. Main features: draws tris (command 3) and quads (command 4) draws lines (both command 2 and command 5 optional lines; requires renderer that supports RiProcedural DSO primitives and RiCurves) supports (actually, requires) color definitions (via 0 !COLOUR command), by default read from ldconfig.ldr generates highly optimized and bounded RIB for efficient occlusion culling (requires the renderer implement DelayedReadArchive RiProcedural correctly); raytracing and shadow map passes contain proper visibility and disabled shaders for fast rendering all subparts are cached for speed of future invocation (requires renderer implements user attributes and options correctly) detects and substitutes prebuilt RIB chunks to support higher level geometry. The provided substitutions replace conic sections with RiCylinders, RiSpheres, and RiTori; round edges with bezier RiCurves; disc cutouts with trimmed RiNuPatches allows specification of camera orientation, light source position/intensity/color/shadow generation type, background color, quality settings automatically writes out RIB for rendering depth map shadows
