Hi, all
I want to write a plugin(*.mll) to integrate povray into maya.So, user can
choose povray as well as maya software or mental ray to render their scenes.
But i don't know how to do this. Is there any guid or source code about this?
Thanks.

I fail to see why you would want to render a maya scene with povray...

Because POV-Ray is enormously better than Maya? ;)

You're probably better off to ask in a Maya-related group how to write
a plugin first. Yours will basically need to generate a *.pov or *.inc
file containing code describing the Maya scene in SDL, then you need
to spawn pvengine.exe passing the desired command line parameters.

As an afterthought I googled povray and maya.
You might wish to check out if the following is helpful:

Do I really need to?
In any case, here's food for thought:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dielectric_Shader
I'm yet to be able to emulate it in its glorious colors...

Doesn't POV already support the Fresnel equations, Snell's law and Beer's
law?
One thing that seems better than POV is that it supports direct
dielectric-dielectric interface, in POV you either have to go back through
air, mess with coincident surfaces, or have two interfaces.
