Abstract

Integration layer between digital content creation software (DCCS) and rendering software in a form of specialized database is proposed in this paper. In our approach, we focus on providing fast 3D-scene updates, ability to work with large digital assets (not fitting into memory), importing and exporting arbitrary parameters, serialization, convenient debugging tools and distributed rendering. Such database can be used as means to integrate different rendering engines with DCCS and also to transfer data between different DCCS.
