This is the home of the PRMan for Blender addon. The addon is a free way to try and learn how to use Pixar's RenderMan rendering software with the Blender animation solution. If you're just getting started, please take a look at the links below.

• Download and install the addon
• Feedback and support

If you are used to rendering in Blender and particularly with the Cycles Renderer, then RenderMan should feel familiar. Here are the particular features of the RenderMan render settings.

Supporting all the RIS patterns and bxdfs from RenderMan, as nodes in a standard Blender node graph.

• Bxdfs and pattern graphs
• Textures
• Displacements
• Emissive Geometry
• Volumes

• Layering PBR Materials with PxrSurface

For more information on a specific node please see the RenderMan documentation or mouse over a parameter on a node for the tooltips.

Standard Blender light types are supported. Simply translated to the RenderMan equivalent.

• Adding a light
• Light Types
• Light Shaders

• Camera types
• Depth of Field
• Physical Camera

• Using IPR

• Rendering Particles
• Rendering Hair
• Rendering Smoke/Flame
• Object Settings
• Light Linking
• Rib Archiving
• OSL
• Meta Operators
