- I've been messing around with Renderman and RIB files for a couple
- of days and need some help. I can pretty much get everything to work
- except textures. I've tried everything and can't get a simple texture
- to display from a RIB file I created. I can use 3DReality and add a
- texture fine, but I can't do it from my RIB file.
-
- I've tried things like:
-
- Surface "SD_Simple_tx" "txmap" "/NextLibrary/Textures/brick.tex"
- Surface "texmap" "texname" "brick"
- ...
-
- Does anyone know how to do this? Does anyone have any docs on the
- RIB syntax? I bought the RenderMan Companion book but that doesn't
- really help. Also, does anyone know how to compile shader function
- source to a *.slo file?
-
- Thanks for the help,
- Mike
