About: The Blender plugin is developed and maintained by Bartosz Styperek and Francesc Juhé. It currently supports creation of triangle geomety, participating media, as well as editing of surface and subsurface scattering models, along with previews inside Blender. Some of the "wackier" modes of operation of Mitsuba are not implemented.

How to install: The current version of the plugin is available in the mitsuba-blender Mercurial repository (download a ZIP file of the latest version here). Unpack this file and move the resulting mitsuba folder into your Blender scripts/addons folder. After restarting Blender and enabling the plugin in the addons preferences, you should be able to select Mitsuba as the currently active renderer. In the main scene tab, you will need to set the path to the main renderer executable (mitsuba.exe on Windows, Mitsuba.app/Contents/MacOS/mitsuba on MacOS, /usr/bin/mitsuba on Linux).

Support: Plugin-specific bugs and other issues should be reported to the Blender plugin tracker. If you believe that you have found a bug in Mitsuba, please use the main Mitsuba tracker.

About: There is currently a very experimental integration plugin for Rhinoceros version 5 on Windows. As of yet, only geometry is exported (i.e. no materials), but at least this part works very well. The plan is to extend this to a full-featured exporter with material selection and preview.

How to install: Everything is described here
