We will eventually add support for exporting Renderman files to InterChange, my company's 3D file format conversion program. We've avoided it for several reasons. Most importantly, Renderman is NOT a speed demon when it comes to rendering triangle-based models with thousands of polygons. Even if we could perform the conversion for you today, you may not be happy tomorrow when your rendering is only 2 percent complete. 🙂 On the other hand, if you have any comments regarding how you'd like to see 3DS materials and sub-objects mapped to Renderman, please forward these ideas to me, and I'll add them to the "request list" for this converter. So far, we've found that a lot of hard-core Renderman users do a lot of hand-tweaking of their scenes in text editors. Is this true for you?
