Having said that, I am always excited about the idea of third party render engines. It all just takes education and experience. There really isn't anything terribly wrong with the std render engine, and the physical renderer can do some amazing things. It needs 3Delight to compile/bake shaders. It has better C4D support, IMHO.Įdit: Another RIB renderer is Sitex Air - Also has a free version, limited to 1024x1024, and has a GUI shader editor included in the package among other tools.Įdit 2: Fur & hair shader suite by Ezequiel Mastrasso. To be able to render with RenderMan just change the renderer to CineMan on the Render Settings window, at the top left.įinally, a small note, there is another free (up to 8 cores) option for RIB rendering, 3Delight. Set the path to the Pixar RenderMan Pro Server install dir, by default it is "C:\Program Files\Pixar\RenderManProServer-19.0"įor now, leave the "Temp RIB Storage" to local, you may need to change it later to project dir depending on your workflow. Go to Edit -> Preferences, locate the 'Renderer' options, expand the group and click "CineMan". Don't worry about the warning that this version is for advanced users only.Īfter install, open Cinema 4D. Click the 'show all' checkbox to see all options. You only need to install the stand alone version of the renderer - RenderMan Pro Server. Please find below a quick guide on how to configure Cinema 4D to use RenderMan natively.Ġ.


Renderman for Non-Commercial use is finally available.
