Version 1.4 Released 2016-12-16
by Andrew Hazelden
I've just finished a set of Notepad++, GEDIT, BBEdit, and TextWrangler syntax highlighting modules for code from Solid Angle's Arnold Renderer. The new modules make it easier for a VFX artist or technical director to edit an Arnold scene source file.
New in Version 1.4 I've added most of the new syntax options for the 3ds Max MAXtoA version of Arnold.
New in Version 1.3 I've added most of the new syntax options for the Cinema4D C4DtoA version of Arnold.
Here is an example Arnold Metadata .mtd file (jf_nested_dielectric.mtd) with syntax highlighting enabled:
I hope this tool improves your coding workflow as you develop new Arnold Scene Source (.ASS) and Arnold Metadata (.MTD) files using a plain text editor.
Cheers,
Andrew Hazelden
