I know it won't be free, not a problem.

Paolo posted something recently (I don't recall where, probably RDNA) about extreme interest in building a Reality for Renderman when it's released for free. I'm pretty sure about that because that's when I googled it and got signed up on the renderman email list for when it's released, supposedly in early 2015.

So I'm thinking it will be released (and this isn't an intentional dig to you daz guys) soon. :)
