Quote - And for folks who don't own renderman there's the option of aqsis

 

RenderMan is a generic term for any renderer, including Aqsis, that conforms to RiSpec, the Pixar RenderMan Interface Specification. So, as well as Pixar's Photorealistic RenderMan, there is also :

• 3Delight
• Air
• Angel
• Aqsis
• BMRT
• Entropy
• Lucille
• Pixie
• RenderDotC
• BMRT and Entropy are discontinued. BMRT's author, Larry Gritz, now works at NVidia and develops Gelato. He, Matt Pharr and colleagues at Exluna also developed Entropy. Matt Pharr since then developed PBRT. LuxRender is a development of PBRT. These are not RiSpec renderers.
• Gelato
• PBRT
• LuxRender
• Hence the list in my previous post, of several different programs for exporting scenes from Blender, to RenderMan. The Forum's news group is for announcements, discussion, questions and answers on all of these methods, the blog is for more detailed information from the developers of them.

There are a number of links in the blog's sidebar to various tools and resources for Blender, RenderMan and generic 3d.
