Max, when you export RIB, do you get a complete, successful export, all material room node proceedurals, all morphs on models, textures and bump maps, etc.?

And yes, what are the Renderman-compatible software options?

NOTE: I HAVE Vue4Pro, which includes 5-node render farm cross-platform capability, and yet I am so happy with my poser results right now, and so daunted by the fact that going out to VUE for network render does NOT drag with it the procedural materials (Vue is not ready for that power, yet), that I am considering a pure poser pseudo-render-farm. I currently have two seats of poser, and each new one costs $99.00 I have four computers, two mac, two PC. I would simply create identical Runtime folders on each computer, send different .pz3 files to each, and have the individual computers chew on independent scenes from the project. You could also have two (or more) computers work on the same scene, with one rendering frame 1-1000, the seconde 2001-3000, etc.

The reason I am even contemplating such a setup is: at least with pure Poser5, you are 'in what you are in." Exporting to ANY foreign program to render is going to give you grief, more or less, no matter what.
