Carlosan Posted September 8, 2017 Author Share Posted September 8, 2017 RenderMan 21.5 * “Path Traced Subsurface Scattering,” advanced technique for skin and New artistic controls provide a wide range for new effects in hair and fur. * Rendering performance gains on scenes with thousands of light sources, or complex combinations of mesh lights, hair and fur, volumetrics, and arbitrary outputs. * Updated Denoiser enables new compositing workflows and is substantially faster due to advanced code optimizations. | * UI simplification and workflow improvements for secondary passes, holdouts, material presets, and deep compositing. RenderMan 22 (Preview), * “Always-on” rendering embedded in artist applications, responding instantly to geometry, camera, light and material edits delivers interactive frame rates with the same renderer used for batch renders. * Fast vectorized OSL shader network evaluation on Intel scalable-SIMD CPUs were also shown. * RenderMan XPU renders on both CPUs and GPUs concurrently, taking full advantage of workstation resources 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carlosan Posted September 17, 2017 Author Share Posted September 17, 2017 https://renderman.pixar.com/news/presentations-renderman-art-and-science-fair-2017 Did you miss the big event? Then come check out the full recap! At SIGGRAPH we revealed a number of new technologies including a sneak peek of our hybrid CPU and GPU renderer called RenderMan XPU. Highlights include talks about Cars 3, Rogue One, RenderMan 21.5, and a look forward to RenderMan 22 and beyond. Thanks for everyone who made the event a success! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would be an incredible feature if it worked like one would expect. No Shadow Catching Material No Interactive Rendering mode No Turntable/Multi-frame rendering Will not render multiple UV's. Only one UV surface will render. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carlosan Posted May 9, 2019 Author Share Posted May 9, 2019 What's New RenderMan version 22.5 features a completely rewritten RenderMan for Houdini plugin and expands the user experience with interactive displacements, OSL hardware acceleration, and sampling improvements Release Notes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reputable Contributor AbnRanger Posted May 9, 2019 Reputable Contributor Share Posted May 9, 2019 It's a shame that Renderman integration in 3DCoat is only halfway done. I reported multiple times that it will only render one UV map, so if you have a lower poly texture painted model, with more than one UV, it won't render the whole model. Just one UV. That's broken. It also needs a shadow catching material of some kind. The other limitation is that the interactive render is not enabled/utilized. Just the final render. For this reason, it really makes Renderman integration a big disappointment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advanced Member Falconius Posted May 9, 2019 Advanced Member Share Posted May 9, 2019 When I tried it out I couldn't get it to render anything at all. After wasting my time fiddling around with it I uninstalled it and haven't tried it since. I don't see the point of advertising or even realeasing half baked things that would be pretty cool, if they worked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Applink Developer haikalle Posted May 9, 2019 Applink Developer Share Posted May 9, 2019 I share my two cents. For me this falls into same category with modelling tools. Would be nice to have but do we really need it. We already have quick access into render room that gives ok results. And final render I do outside of 3d-coat. In my case it's blender. To make 3d-coat fully support renderman is just too big a task. I would spent that time in these: 1. Make render room better. 2. Make mesh and texture transfer between 3d-coat and your main 3d app faster and smoother. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paint Objects, it would only render one UV. I think the reason it was chosen over other render engines is it's supposed ability to render heavy sculpt objects.

Yeah, if 3DCoat could export directly from the Sculpt Room w/ Vertex Color and Spec applied with the Applink, Evee and Cycles would be a better option for final renders.

Yeah!. And It would be nice if 3d coat offers a feature to decimate mesh based on vertex color, the clearer the boundary between two colors the higher density will be kept, decimation will be performed mostly on solid color or gradient area, because blender doesn't have good performance on running high dense mesh. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carlosan Posted May 20, 2020 Author Share Posted May 20, 2020 Pixar has released RenderMan 23.3 bringing support for baking illumination, both to 2D textures and 3D point clouds. The latest update is said to bring back functionality cut after the transition from the old Reyes pipeline to RenderMan’s new RIS framework. Also, it extends the software’s original baking capabilities. The toolkit allows you to use Light Path Expressions to isolate arbitrary components of the global illumination in a scene for baking.
