Hello Antoine!
It's nice to hear from you. And it's great to know that you are
developing plugins for Carrara along these lines!
I am definitely interested in the Anaglyph, Lenticular Array, and
Boolean shader renderers, in that order.
Antoine, what type of file format does the Lenticular array renderer
output to and will it also support a file format that can eventually
be used for printing purposes (such as the lenticular postcards, gift
cards, etc.)? I would really like to hear more about this renderer
and how it works.
Thanks for letting us know what you have been working on and its great
to hear from you again.
Take care.
