Pixar releases free Renderman for non-commercial use

Do you have that itch to create a 3D animation of one of your creations, but don’t want to drop $500 on Pixar’s Renderman? This week Pixar released a free version of Renderman for non-commercial use.

From their website:

RenderMan is now free for all non-commercial purposes, including evaluations, education, research, and personal projects. The non-commercial version of RenderMan is fully functional without watermark or limitation. For further details please refer to Pixar’s Non-Commercial RenderMan FAQ.

The new website also has several hours of tutorials to get you started.

  1. Goodness, I love Pixar for this.

    (Okay, I love them for many, many reasons, but this is seriously cool.)

  2. Unfortunately, you also need Autodesk’s Maya to be able to use this, and that is NOT free.

  3. Just get the student version of Maya. It’s free.
