我想知點安裝 renderman ???

With network render or not?

Just install the following pakage into different server(s)
With network:
1. you need to a License server with a vaild license (License Server package)
2. A maitre_d server for resource locator (RAT package)
3. Render Pro Server for render farm(s) (RenderManProServer package)
4.RAT for user (RAT package .....the one same as maitre_d)
5.A mysql sqever (if you are using RAT6.5 and RenderManProServer12.5) for statistic capture.....by the way mysql is not a renderman component just install it if you need it

Without Network....
Item a License Server and RAT (both of them can be installed in the same workstation)

After you have installed and configed....start the license service and load the RAT from theMaya's plugins manager.

if u need to config the maitre_d, the ProServer, alfred, RAT, database connection....watch the doc....too complex to tell you from here.....not too hard......

prman可以不寫也能作出很好的效果。
安裝很難的，得找會安裝得人跟你說方法。

系唔系slim的作用是edit shader?

可以咁講, 有d 似 maya 既 hypershade + multilister

系唔系slim的作用是edit shader?

由於Renderman本身是一個獨立的Renderer，在未有Renderman for maya 的年代，Pixer有為Maya和Renderman造了一道橋梁"Renderman Artist Tool - RAT"，Slim就是為了CG Artist在Maya上可以方便點連接Renderman 的Shader Network以設的，Pixar Renderman 的Shader是*.slo format，如果你想用Renderman的Shader於Slim中連接其他的Renderman Shader。你就要為某Shader寫上Slim的User Interface了，Slim的UI Script也就是*.slim的Format。但一般RAT已經提供必要的Shader放在Slim上，但在Renderman Server 11 + RAT基本上沒有update過Slim的Shader UI，特別是在UltraFur上，唔surpport Maya 7.x以上的Hair Dynamic，好似已經放棄了RAT的宗指似的。RAT也再不是方便CG Artist用Renderman 的 工具了。: (

PIXAR 好多 advance 功能要你地自己寫麻, 佢話俾個咁強大又 open 既環境你, 冇你地自己寫既 own function, 配唔起 renderman

[風之谷]

之前見 xxxxx 公司寫 個 skin shader 都唔錯架喎。


不過唔知系唔系心埋作用(應該唔系)，

同一個maya簡單的light setting

就咁普通render 出來已經靚o左。


如果唔系因為 install 唔到 "24小時試用完立即刪除版" ，
一定屋企都轉用renderman。

其實學習Renderman，不需找Pixer Renderman的麻煩，以是可以用其他兼容Renderman的Renderer，他們無論在Shader及DSO及RIB的寫法，和Renderman都幾乎一樣，我個人強烈推薦用3Delight，無論對應Maya，及用Ray Trace / Displacement / Motion Blur / Depth Shadow map / 大量的重型RIB，都應付自如，還可以有Free Lisence一個給個人選用，十分方便學習．．．Let Try!
