Create your own ‘Toy Story’ sequel with free tools from Pixar
Renderman is the in-house software that Pixar uses to produce its amazing animated films, oh, and Cars. The studio charges a pretty penny to license it out to its rivals, but doesn’t feel that hobbyists and students should cough up those same fees. That’s why it’s going to give the full version of Renderman v.19 away for free when it launches at SIGGRAPH in August. Unlike other trial versions of high-end software, the company isn’t hobbling the tool, instead, it’s just trusting you to use it for non-commercial purposes only. Who knows, maybe you’ll spend the next year building up a showreel that’ll swing you a job over at Emeryville — wouldn’t that be the dream, eh?
