Essential RenderMan fast provides a practical introduction to producing images using a RenderMan renderer, enabling the novice user to get the most from RenderMan. By developing an understanding of how scenes are described, animators and technical directors of all abilities can gain access to the power of RenderMan, which has previously been available to the elite of the CG community. With plenty of illustrations and hands-on examples, the author looks at the creation of geometry using RIB, and the C API. He also includes an introduction to shading and the generation of procedural textures using the RenderMan shading language.
-Delivers a hands-on introduction to the RenderMan toolset, including reference to currently available implementations. -It is a practical guide to driving RenderMan using RIB, C, and other packages. -Provides tutorials in shading for the novice programmer and animator looking to explore RenderMan further than is possible using GUI based tools. -Includes many examples and plenty of illustrations, 16 of which are in full colour. -Source code is available to readers online. -Relevant text for courses on Computer graphics and animation.
