Quick download menu:

 

To render the scenes you model with Ayam you need a RenderMan compliant renderer. So, please also download/install one of the following renderers: Aqsis, Pixie, Gelato, RenderDotC, 3Delight, Air, Angel, PRMan.

Please make sure you also download and install the latest hotfix!

 

Linux (64 Bit)

  • This archive contains binaries, examples, and documentation.
  • This binary should run on every recent Linux distribution. If it does not work for you, please send e-mail!
  • At the moment, only aslb (Air) and aysdr (Pixie 2.2.6) shader parsing plugins are provided.
  • The ONIO (Rhino OpenNURBS) plugin was compiled with OpenNURBS 3.0.
 

Linux (32 Bit)

  • This archive contains binaries, examples, and documentation.
  • This binary should run on every recent Linux distribution. If it does not work for you, please send e-mail!
  • Note that this is a 32 bit application, if you want to use it on a 64 bit Linux distribution you must install a complete 32 bit execution environment.
  • The shader parsing plugins in this release were compiled/tested with the following versions of the renderers: ayslo3d: 3Delight 8.5, ayslx: Aqsis 1.8.1, aysdr: Pixie 2.2.2, ayso: RDC 3.3.5, ayslo: PRMan 11.5
  • The ONIO (Rhino OpenNURBS) plugin was compiled with OpenNURBS 3.0.
 

IRIX

  • This archive contains binaries, examples, and documentation.
  • On IRIX there is currently no SDNPatch plugin. You may safely ignore the warnings about a missing sdnpatch.so file, that occur during the installation.
  • On IRIX there is currently no jsinterp plugin. You may safely ignore the warnings about a missing jsinterp.so file, that occur during the installation.
  • On IRIX you have to adapt the variable LD_LIBRARYN32_PATH instead of LD_LIBRARY_PATH.
  • The shader parsing plugins in this release were compiled and tested with the following versions of the renderers: ayslx: Aqsis 0.9.0 MIPS3, ayslo3d: 3Delight 1.0.6 MIPS4, ayso: RDC 3.4 MIPS3, ayslo: PRMan 3.8.0.6 MIPS3, aysdr: Pixie 2.2.5 MIPS4
 

Win32

  • This archive contains binaries, examples, and documentation.
  • All Win32 executables use Aqsis 1.0.1 support libraries for RIB export and shader parsing. BMRT shaders are not supported unless the ayslc plugin is loaded.
  • If Ayam is not able to execute renderers
    (Tcl: Error! couldn't duplicate output handle: bad file number),
    start Ayam using the provided batch file ayam.bat.
  • The shader parsing plugins in this release were compiled/tested with the following versions of the renderers: aysdr.dll: Pixie 1.7.4/2.0.2, ayslb.dll: Air 2.6, ayslo3d.dll: 3Delight 8.5, ayso.dll: RenderDotC 3.4, ayslo.dll: PRMan 11.5, ayslx.dll: Aqsis 1.0.1/1.6, aygso.dll: Gelato 2.0, ayslc.dll: BMRT 2.6.
  • This archive does not contain the following plugins: IDR.
  • The ONIO (Rhino OpenNURBS) plugin was compiled with OpenNURBS 3.0.
  • For Windows XP you may also need to download and install vcredist_x86.exe.
 

Win64

  • This archive contains binaries, examples, and documentation.
  • The Win64 executable and plugins were cross compiled using MinGW-w64 on Linux.
  • Due to the use of Tcl/Tk 8.5 this version should be considered experimental.
  • Except for ayslb.dll there are no shader parsing plugins.
  • This archive does not contain the following plugins: IDR.
  • The ONIO (Rhino OpenNURBS) plugin was compiled with OpenNURBS 3.0.
 

Mac OS X (Aqua)

  • This archive contains binaries, examples, and documentation.
  • This port will run very slow on most computers, due to implementation deficiencies in the Aqua port of Tk; please use the X11 version!
  • The application binary and all plugins in this archive are universal binaries compiled for ix86/PPC.
  • The application bundle contains and uses the Tcl/Tk frameworks in version 8.4.19 with weak-linking enabled.
  • This binary is tested to run on Mac OS 10.4 (Tiger) and 10.5 (Leopard).
  • On Mac OS X Aqua there is, currently, no AyCSG plugin.
  • Because BMRT is not available on Mac OS X, this binary has been compiled without libslcargs and will scan XML shader description files created by sl2xml from the K-3D project only (if no shader parsing plugin is loaded).
  • The shader parsing plugins were compiled/tested with the following versions of the renderers: aysdr.so: Pixie 2.2.5; ayslx.so: Aqsis 1.0.1/1.6; ayslo3d - 3Delight 8.5.
  • The ONIO (Rhino OpenNURBS) plugin was compiled with OpenNURBS 3.0.
 

Mac OS X (X11)

  • This archive contains binaries, examples, and documentation.
  • The application binary and all plugins in this archive are universal binaries compiled for ix86/PPC.
  • The shader parsing plugins were compiled with the following versions of the renderers: aysdr - Pixie 2.2.5; ayslx - Aqsis 1.0.1/1.6, ayslo3d - 3Delight 8.5.
 

Source

  • This archive contains the Ayam source code, examples, and documentation.
  • You also need the Tcl/Tk sources in order to compile Ayam; get them from the Tcl Project on SourceForge. If you already have a working Tcl/Tk-installation and plan to use it with Ayam be sure to get the exactly matching version of the Tcl/Tk sources.
  • The archive "ayam*vc2005.zip" contains a MS VC++2005-Express workspace and all libraries for the compilation of Ayam on Win32.
 

Other Systems

  • FreeBSD: Ayam 1.20 is available in the FreeBSD port system. In theory, just typing
    "pkg_add -r ayam"
    should install it for you. Note that this port is using Aqsis as primary renderer and will not build any plugins except for mfio and metaobj.
  • Mandrake 10 RPM from Torbjörn Turpeinen: ayam-1.8-3.mdk10.1.thac.i586.rpm. Note that this RPM is using Aqsis as primary renderer and does not contain all plugins.
