This software can be used to convert scene files between different renderer file formats. Currently, our software supports Mitsuba, PBRT v3 and LuxRender file formats.

We are currently an alpha version. See Limitations for further details.

This software requires the installation of: - Python 3 - PLY - Numpy 1.14.0 (and up)

Currently the converter can be run locally downloading the source code or cloning this repository. Conversion to and from renderers can currently only be executed through the command line in the src directory of this project.

The command for converting files between renderers is:

python __init__.py -s [source renderer] -d [destination render] -f [input filename]

The default option will create a file named scene with the extension of the desired renderer. Optionally, the user can specify the name of the output file in the command: -o [output filename]

For example, converting a file from Mitsuba to PBRT v3 with the name lamp inputs the following command:

python __init__.py -s mitsuba -d pbrt -f /path/to/lamp.xml -o lamp

Our converter currently does not support: - Hair materials - Participating Media - Animations - Converting colored metals to and from LuxRender
