RenderMan Studio

Product Description

Meeting RenderMan for Maya and Pro Sever half way, Pixar’s RenderMan Studio™ carries all of the ease-of-use and affordability, without sacrificing speed, stability, and quality.

Studio includes elements of other Pixar's RenderMan products giving the user a high quality comprehensive tool that is fully customisable.

Included in the Pixar's software is RenderMan for Maya Pro, Slim™, a shader management and creation solution, Alfred™, the scriptable work distribution system, and "it"™, the image tool with powerful script based compositing.

Studio does so much more too, automatically rendering Maya Fur and Hair, Maya Material networks, and PaintFX.
