Using an actual good host program for RM would be a start.

What does Pixar mean by this?

They do this to get new talent that is already familiar with their software i would think

Is GPU rendering now supported by the NC?

forget about the gpu. It doesnt support lama. Prman without lama is garbage.

How hard is it for a Cycles user to get into Renderman?

actually a bit more excited by the new octane.
the new caustics stuff is magic.

You are garbage.

its easy. Unfortunately this Renderman for Blender isnt production ready and I reccommend another dcc

renderman needs to hurry the fuck up with full GPU rendering, they've already fallen behind so many renderers

Bullshit. RM is for studio environments. It scales very well on CPU farms. That is its primary intent. Not single workstation use. Dumbass midwit.

You can make beautiful stills on a "single workstation" and with denoising you can get very far with previz animations you absolute idiot.

Anon's right, if you can throw enough cores at renderman it btfos even multi-gpu renderers
>b-but muh-!
"enough cores" means distributing a single shot over 10+ machines mounting 32 physical cores and 256GB ram each, and where scenes can take up all that ram and would never fit even on high-end GPU VRAMs
i.e. no "single person on a single workstation" will ever have those numbers and as a result, any gpu renderer will outperform renderman.
Pixar, ILM, WDAS will though.

GPU rendering vs CPU is like the new Blender vs. everything else.

came here to ask this too.
I'm used to maya/renderman. I'm on a dual xeon ws with an a6000 and followed the renderman github precisely on versions and compability.
Shit is still crashing so much it's impossible to work with. Maybe it's the dual CPU set-up, but I've never had a problem with it in Maya.
Big blender fan unironically, love renderman, wish this shit was stable for me to play around with.
