Renderman
Renderman, the standard in Rendering software in the VFX industry for over 25 years.
Pixar's RenderMan has the advanced features required for creating visual effects specifically because it has been developed by film makers for rendering VFX. Pixar's core rendering technology has been proven on some of the most demanding 3D productions ever realized, giving you the confidence that RenderMan can deliver.

Hybrid Rendering
Cameras are the center of the RenderMan universe. Rendering, baking, map generation - nearly everything you need to do in RenderMan requires a camera to process. Pixar's RenderMan gives artists and TDs advanced control over how CG cameras work, and the two most important aspects of the camera are motion blur and depth of field... areas where Pixar's RenderMan excels.
Performance
At Pixar, we know that creative vision should not be inhibited by technical constraints, and that's why Pixar's RenderMan has been engineered to be as fast, efficient, and robust as possible. Ultimately, it's the tool that is responsible for capturing the essence of the original artistic inspiration.
Displacements
Because RenderMan is built around the REYES algorithm, it is extremely efficient at rendering displacement. With displacement mapping we're able to keep our scene geometry as simple and lightweight as possible, and add fine details at render time. Displacements in RenderMan are a powerful production tool.
