I think the subject is enough. Btw. If you heard about it, why don't you use it?

If you didn't hear about it, check out: Aqsis (http://www.aqsis.com) :buttrock:

yea it is pretty nice free renderman compliant program. Slower then prman but that is to be expected. Since BMRT is no longer supported it is a good solution.

But not much in some parts... and don't forget, Pixar has a lot more developers than Aqsis has.

Oh yea I agree completely. I just wanted to state it because some people when they see compliant jump to think it will run just as fast. I've personally been very impressed with Aqsis, and I use it at home for my needs there. It has a lot of promise too.
