The Concept
3d programs are evolving fast, and so do their scripting
languages. Turned out that rich interfaces like a Smart IBL
Thumbnail Browser are especially hard to maintain over time, and
catching up with support for all the 3rd party render engines
became a lifetime task.
That's why sIBL-GUI is a standalone Python application, available
for
Windows,
Mac OSX and
Linux. Instead of building hardcoded lighting setups, it uses
the setup information from sIBL-sets to fill in setup templates.
These templates a code snippets, written in your 3d app's native
language and tailored for a particular renderer. For example,
you'll find templates for Vray Domelight in Max, mental ray in XSI,
or Turtle in Maya. The templates are pulled from an online
repository, so you're always up to date. It's very easy to create
new templates, even for new applications.
