Pixar Shaders and Lights
Now you can get out-of-box production shaders and lights straight from Pixar Animation Studios…no development required.

Photo-realistic Images
Physically based shading allows RenderMan to deliver highly realistic lighting with minimal setup, including full support for multi-bounce ray traced global illumination and ray traced subsurface scattering. Much research and development has gone into making these traditionally expensive effects a production reality. Pixar’s first feature film to use this technology was Finding Dory, and now it has matured with great developments in Cars 3 and Coco.
Created for Artists
Take advantage of Pixar’s shading and lighting tech to render the most demanding jobs. Not only are these shaders fine-tuned for the highest level of performance, they also come fully loaded with all of the creative options for look development demanded by the shading artists at Pixar. Use Pixar Surface to create everything from glass to the most incredibly subtle skin you can image … and layer them on top of each other, for unlimited types of looks.
The new Pixar Displacement was written for the RIS framework, and supports advanced features, like 32bit vector displacements. With Pixar’s Marschner Hair dial in realistic (or fanciful) hair, with features not available in other models, but quite common in the real world, like luminous backscatter.
Analytic Physical Lighting
This new library of physically based lights offers standard features like color temperature, exposure, and IES profiles … but also includes specialized Light Filters which have been developed for feature film in collaboration with Pixar’s lighting TDs, allowing light to be quickly stylized in any number ways, offering a multitude of new creative possibilities.
The new Analytic lighting system allows for better light sampling, which leads to less noise and faster renders.

The new shareable library of physically based materials makes it easy to choose any type of shader. A helpful tool for managing shaders, lights, and textures.
Cloud Services
There are several RenderMan solutions for rendering in the cloud, providing extraordinary burst capacity.
Fully Featured Camera
RenderMan’s motion blur and depth-of-field can mimic the behavior of real-world cameras, so RenderMan’s synthetic images can realistically simulate their conventionally filmed counterparts.
Motion Blur
In live action film, motion blur is the result of objects moving during the exposure of the film. The faster the exposure, the less things will blur. Conversely, a long exposure results in more motion blur. Audiences are quite familiar with the look of motion blur and creating this effect in 3D fast and efficiently is critical for convincing visual effects. Pixar’s RenderMan can mimic the behavior of real cameras, with extraordinarily fast 3D motion blur.
By default, RenderMan renders scenes with an instantaneous shutter speed, an exposure which is impossible in the real world. However, without motion blur the effect would look unnatural, as moving objects would strobe across the screen, causing temporal aliasing. Thankfully RenderMan is extremely efficient at rendering motion blur and has a number of options to help tune the final look.
Cross Platform
RenderMan and all its plug-ins are made for the three main operating systems: Linux, OSX, and Windows.
Production Proven Render Management
Included with every purchase of RenderMan, Tractor is a modern and robust solution for network rendering, currently deployed at some of the biggest VFX studios in the industry.
