Pixar Renderman

rellik420:
It's not anim8or related, but I think it's too good to pass up. I really don't know anything about the program, but I know it made the Toy Story movies, as well as some of their other movies.

The are giving it away for free and I like free stuff. You need to register for it at the pixar website.

Just thought I'd let you guys know about it.

davdud101:
WOW. Renderman is serious!! I'm not big on animation but I might jump on it just for the heck of it

Kyle:
Wow, never thought it would see a public release, let alone free.

It looks like it wont be out until August. I just registered though.  I hope I can manage to figure out the basics at least. I kinda doubt it. But it would really bring everything full circle for me if I could render my Andy's Room project using Renderman.


Anyone know much about it? Is renderman strictly for rendering, or can I rig and animate as well? Would I need something like Maya to render my anim8or stuff with it? I'm new to alternate renderers in general.

Raxx:
I'm pretty sure Renderman is strictly for rendering, though I'm thinking there will be a good toolset and possibly a nice interface attached to this one. Not sure if anyone recalls it, but I made a .rib toolkit for the object editor a while ago. That's the format that renderman renderers use if they aren't directly interfaced with using their APIs.

Kyle:
So, is it possible to export a scene with everything left in tact, (textures and all) in a way that Renderman could understand? (or Maya too now, I just started using that on a whim, don't know how long I'll stick with it)
