I tend to say, there are more free user friendly packages available for new Rhino users, eg. At any case, learning PrMan is not a quick process as you won`t find much tutorials for it online. The RhinoAIR plugin works best with AIR so in order to use its *.rib output for PrMan you would need to have a large understanding of options, attributes and shaders which are different between AIR and PrMan. This plugin RhinoAIR is free and still in active development for Rhino 5 and the upcoming version 6. ![]() This has to be done by a user who wants to use PrMan together with the *.rib files RhinoAIR exports out of Rhino. Thus the plugins rib output cannot be used directly, it has to be changed (in file) so renderman specific options and attributes are properly accessed. ![]() The AIR renderer is very close to prman, but not identical. While the development of the RhinoMan plugin stopped, Scott Iverson, the developer of AIR included a new Plugin to be used with his renderer called AIR. into *.rib files suitable for various other different renderers using the renderman standart eg. When this has been available, there where options in its plugin dialog to export rhino geometry, material colors etc. To make things easier, there has been a Plugin for Rhino called RhinoMan developed by Brian Perry years ago. ![]() Just some history, so it is easier for other new users to understand the current state of Rhino`s support for renderman based renderers: *.rib files are textbased, you can open them and, if you are “tech safe”, type in there to change them setting up searchpaths so it can find your shaders, textures etc. The exported rib file can be opened with prman and from there you pretty much have to do your stuff on your own. That does not mean it works like a click and go process a new user would expect from nowadays rendering and animation software. This would be a finer step in my opinion.As Wim said, Rhino had a RIB (renderman interface bytestream) export since version 1. Redshift should try at least while running beta, similar way as otoy. This will be the next big thing i am sure. Thsi will not be forgotten when Pixar with his Renderman/XPU comes into Blender. Of course big hugs and respect goes to Otoy for giving us a nice free Octane Tier for playing with it. There is simple no need because i can do lookdev like in unreal in realtime. Blender has also an build in Game Engine EEVEE, with total shader compatible to cycles. The difference is, unlike other 3d software, for instance Houdini with their pathetic render solution, or earlier Maya and Max, Blender has already a great Renderer with GPU/CUD/Optix support. Now the want of course do the same what they've done at other packages to get on the blender train. The totally missed the fast raise of blender. Redshift has the same Problem like Octane. I guess we should be happy about this progress, putting Blender more and more in the "serious 3d Package" Area. This news comes hot on the heals of Renderman revealing its Blender plugin currently in development. It has notably been used on the Overwatch and Rainbow Six cinematics, as well as the StarZ series "American Gods". ![]() The production-proven renderer is known for delivering incredible results at blazing fast speeds, giving it a privileged place in studio pipelines worldwide. Redshift Render?Blender?Cycles?Redshift?RT? /VIxc8nz9mr While the current implementation is still not feature-complete, with it still lacking light-linking and motion blur among other things, development is still ongoing to bring the Blender addon to feature-parity. Its latest 3.0.33 release brings with it the first public beta release of its long-awaited Blender plugin among a host of new features. Redshift is the latest in a growing list of "industry-standard" renderers to join the roster of render engines with official blender support.
