Redshift is very nice. I am however heavily investing in Octane currently. While there are plugins to work with most applications at the moment. I really prefer separating my workflow. i.e. bringing in the Alembics, quickly assigning the materials from my local Library, and Vrooosh ;) If you don’t want to assign materials you can bring them in via FBX in version 3 when it comes out. I enjoy the fact it extracts Rendering in the same way Compositing has been extracted for years.

Probably much more trouble that I can spare at the moment anyway, and I can use Maya to render ... the new RIS mode is useful and a nice addition, got a couple of crashes from Maya .... as usual. Having Mental Ray, Renderman and 3Delight for rendering is quite a selection at the moment.

I tested it quite a bit when it came out, nice little plugin but the implementation was rather basic in a way, no render-region support etc. there is also the opensource affogato: http://sourceforge.net/projects/affogato/ anyway, with all the renderers out there I don't see much reason to use prman anymore.. -Andreas On Tue, Mar 24, 2015 at 10:35 AM, Rob Chapman < tekano....@gmail.com<mailto:tekano....@gmail.com> > wrote: cmd line renderman is available but not sure how you would make a rib with all the new shader parameters etc straight outa softimage :( On 23 March 2015 at 21:32, Daniel Brassard < dbrassar...@gmail.com<mailto:dbrassar...@gmail.com> > wrote: > Just received notice from Pixar that Renderman free for non-commercial use > is now available. > > Does anybody have used Renderman before with Softimage and is their a bridge > between Softimage and Renderman available? > > (yes, I have Maya too, so I can use it with Maya but I would like to test > Renderman with Softimage) > > Cheers! > > Dan > > <table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" style="width:100%;"> <tr> <td align="left" style="text-align:justify;"><font face="arial,sans-serif" size="1" color="#999999"><span style="font-size:11px;">This communication is intended for the addressee only.
