Pixar will let people downlaod a non-commercial version of their rendering software!
Let's just hope, they bring in some tutorials with it and make it less complicated than Mental Ray...

Free or not, renderman isn't for the faint of heart if you really want to get the most out of it.

/edit.. still it's pretty cool that they're doing it.
/edit again... what I find just as interesting is the commercial price will drop to $495

Anyone familiar with renderman? Can it be useful for us gamedev people? I know it is used almost exclusively in the film industry.

No I don't think it can. It's a feature film render though I could pass on the news

This is great. Good move by Pixar.
