Advanced Rendering Interface

Hi,

while working on the new, simplified foundation of the 3DKit I'm 
getting more and more convinced that what we really need is an 
API/language which gives us great flexibility w/o limiting us to a 
particular gfx implementation or pipeline. As a consequence I am 
interested in a RenderMan like interface to be part of the 3DKit. This 
would simplify the API and implementation of the RenderKit itself, 
moreover it would ease the design of backend renderers - all this has 
to be investigated more carefully, though.

I'd like to hear your opinions about this, let me know if it fits into 
your ideas and plans for the 3DKit.

-Phil
