Experimenting with RenderMan

Tuesday 7 December, 2010

Yesterday I’ve made my first renders with RenderMan (or more specific, with 3Delight, a RenderMan compatible renderer). Even if you don’t know what RenderMan is, you have without doubt enjoyed the endless amount of CGI scenes made with the help of RenderMan. From Harry Potter to Toy Story, almost every movie made in the past decade has used RenderMan for their CGI. Below are some of the fascinating results you can make using the RenderMan Shading Language:

Subsurface Scattering on Utah Teapot


Displacement mapping on spheres
