[vtk-developers] ANN: New RenderMan support

[Bill Lorensen]

Folks,

The vtkRIBExporter has been updated to work with the recently
released, free for non-commercial use RenderMan.
https://renderman.pixar.com/view/renderman

There is an example here:
http://www.vtk.org/Wiki/VTK/Examples/Cxx/RenderMan/PolyDataRIB

and sample results here:

To try it out, you will need to pull the latest head from the vtk repo.

Enjoy,

Bill

FYI: All of the color plates in the original VTK books were rendered
with BMRT, a free RenderMan clone that is no longer available.
