Pixar To Give Away 3D RenderMan Software 147
nairnr sends this news from the BBC:
'The 3D rendering software behind films such as Toy Story, Monsters Inc and Harry Potter is to be given away free for non-commercial use. RenderMan, which is developed by Pixar, has faced increased competition from rival animation rendering programmes such as VRay and Arnold. Although Pixar, which is owned by Disney, produces its own films, it licenses RenderMan to rival studios. In a statement, the firm said it would release a free version of RenderMan "without any functional limitations, watermarking, or time restrictions." "Non-commercial RenderMan will be freely available for students, institutions, researchers, developers, and for personal use," it added.'

I plan on using this software to make a movie like "Cars" only called "Dildoes".
Then there's my porn movie the "Awesomes" and you guess it, it'll be like the "Incredibles."
Oh, and wait till you see MY version of Toy Story - Oh! There WILL be toys!!
