Those interested in exploring the new capabilities can register in advance on the RenderMan website for a free downloadable license at release. Non-commercial RenderMan will be freely available for students, institutions, researchers, developers, and personal use. RenderMan is the conduit through which applicable advanced research from within the Walt Disney organization will be channeled into the production industry, including in the forthcoming release, Disney’s Principled BRDF shader and supporting materials.Īs a commitment to the advancement of open standards and practices, Pixar is announcing that, in conjunction with the new release, free non-commercial licenses of RenderMan will be made available without any functional limitations, watermarking, or time restrictions. With rendering technology constantly evolving, RIS represents a forward-looking framework through which Pixar can deploy additional rendering methodologies as they become available.
Along with major feature and performance enhancements, physically based, artist-friendly workflows, progressive re-rendering, and the established advantages of RenderMan’s traditional REYES architecture, RenderMan now offers two rendering modes within one unified environment. This generational shift in RenderMan establishes an entirely new modular rendering architecture called RIS that provides highly optimized methods for simulating the transport of light through multiple state-of-the-art algorithms, including an advanced Unidirectional Path Tracer and a Bidirectional Path Tracer with Progressive Photon Mapping (also known as VCM).
