[b][size=2][color=White]This is one big quote from www.rendermanacademy.comwhich also is a great resource for learning the renderman interface bitstream.
RenderMan Compliant Renderers
[/b][/color][/size]The last two to three years have being very exciting in the rendering community. The whole concept behind the creation of the RenderMan scene description language is finally taking off. Where there once was only one implementation of RenderMan, Pixars own PRMan, now there are many renderers to choose from. Time couldnt be better for those looking to embark on the long, but exciting road of high end rendering. Here is a list of RenderMan renderers available. There might be more out there. If you know of one thats not listed, please drop me a line at [b]rmantuts@RenderManacademy.com[/b]
Photo Realistic RenderMan Pixar Win, Linux, Irix, Mac OSX - $3500
The granddaddy of RenderMan renderers. Production proven, fast, reliable, extensible and very controllable. This is one strong workhorse, capable of rendering scenes with very large amounts of detail (see the door vault in Monsters Inc). Version 11.5 does raytracing and Global Illumination.
[[b]RenderDotC[/b]](http://www.dotcsw.com/) [b] DotC Software Win, Linux, Irix, HP-UX - $ 595 to $2995[/b]
RenderDotC has been shipping since 1996. It has several films credits under its belt and it has a Broadcast edition that is only 595, but only renders up to 768 x 576. Version 3.4 will include raytracing.
[[b]Air[/b]](http://www.sitexgraphics.com) [b] Sitex Graphics [www.sitexgraphics.com](http://www.sitexgraphics.com) Win Linux - $450.[/b]
This is a newer renderer, but its author Scott Iverson has been writing renderers for a while. Fairly priced and includes a lot of extra little utilities that allow you to work faster (only Win version though).
[[b]3Delight[/b]](http://www.3delight.com/) [b] Linux Mac OsX - Free[/b]
A FREE RenderMan renderer that runs pretty fast and supports most of the RI Specification. It doesnt include many of the features supported by PRMan 11 (it does raytrace thought), but hey… IT"S FREE!!.
[[b]Aqsis[/b]](http://www.aqsis.com/) [b]Open Source -Win Linux - Mac OSX - Free[/b]
Another free RenderMan renderer, but this one is open source. So if you ever wanted to get your hands on code to learn how a REYES renderers is put together, this is your renderer to get. Still in development.
[[b]Pixie[/b]](http://www.cs.berkeley.edu/%7Eokan/Pixie/pixie.htm)[b] by Okan Arikan -Free[/b]
Yet another free RenderMan renderer. Its also open source and its slowly becoming boys and girls favorite because of the high end features it supports (almost the same as PRman 11). Still in development.
[[b]JRMan[/b]](http://jrman.sf.net) - [b]Open Source - Free[/b]
Another open source implementation of RenderMan, but written in java. Still has ways to go, but for those that are into java it should be quite interesting to give it a look.
If you were looking for prman muh already gave you the answer. boing!
