MiniLight is a minimal global illumination renderer, written as an exercise
in simplicity. Is there a plugin to export Blender scenes to MiniLight? Or is there another plugin that could be modified to do it?
The MiniLight format is pretty simple:
#MiniLight
iterations
imagewidth imageheight
viewposition viewdirection viewangle
skyemission groundreflection
trivertex0 trivertex1 trivertex2 reflectivity emitivity
trivertex0 trivertex1 trivertex2 reflectivity emitivity
I implemented a Python script (based on the ‘Raw faces’ one by Anthony D’Agostino) to export triangle meshes from Blender to the MiniLight format. If anyone else needs it, I made it available on GitHub.
