I didnt really understand what it consists of: its a framework so not a standalone program? Can it just be implemented as a plugin? In fact, in the Arch Linux repositories it exists only as a Blender plugin. Does it just serve as Illumination and texturing of 3D models?

Sounds very interesting. Ive never heard of it before. I just dont know how a node based technique could be integrated into a layer based. If something like this would be technically feasible, Cinelerra could certainly be raised to a whole new level.
