The plan is for XPU to eventually replace RIS as a full production renderer. Its first use in the studio has been focused on detailed look development, with more capabilities coming in future releases. Starting from a system architecture that can leverage the latest developments in multi-core CPU and GPU hardware, separately or in combination, XPU has been developed to handle the scale and complexity of Pixar’s feature animation projects. Pixar’s hybrid solution for CPU + GPU rendering combines available computing resources to accelerate production path-tracing. Rewritten to take full advantage of the architecture of version 24. RenderMan for Blender - And last but not least, a new plugin for cutting edge RenderMan features in the open source content creation tool. Preset Browser - Now supports Presets for Lama and Stylized Looks and expect to see libraries for both shipping soon. Updates to Artist Tools - Support for Autodesk’s Maya, Foundry’s Katana, and SideFX’s Houdini and Solaris (including support for LPEs and AOVs in Solaris). C++ patterns are still supported, but they will only work in RIS.īetter Sampling - Blue noise dithering results in a perceptually cleaner image sooner

This conversion allows the sharing of code between RIS and XPU, which provides confidence that the renders from RenderMan XPU are representative of what you will see in RenderMan RIS. OSL Patterns - We have converted the great majority of C++ patterns to OSL. Light Baking - Greatly enhance your real-time and VR rendering needs by baking lighting to 2D texture maps or Point Clouds. New with this release are production-proven technologies Hex Tiling Manifold and Phasor Noise. New Patterns - We are continually working to provide more artistic options for your look development. Live Statistics - Watch your rendering resource usage live, thanks to a completely redesigned statistics system that prioritizes interactivity and extensibility.

OpenColorIO - Robust support for the industry standard ACES color management system and other color spaces in all bridge products, including the interactive RenderMan Image Tool. Stylized Looks is available only in the Commercial version of RenderMan. You can non-destructively control outlines, create sketch patterns, and develop a wide range of unique looks, including Anime, by using the same familiar toolset. Stylized Looks™ - Move beyond physically based shading and lighting into a world where you can easily create a variety of styles for your projects. Lama - A state-of-the-art material layering system developed at Industrial Light & Magic introduces a modular approach to building material networks and includes new developments on dispersion and energy conservation.

This first phase of XPU is focused on accelerating look development for shading artists. XPU™ - Pixar’s hybrid CPU + GPU rendering technology is a next-generation rendering engine, rewritten for speed and efficiency on film production assets.

Version 24 delivers many more features, making it one of the most significant releases of Renderman to date. Plus, Pixar's collaboration with Industrial Light & Magic brings a new modular shading technology for creating photorealistic surfaces of the highest quality. RenderMan Stylized Looks™ which allows users to create entirely new looks, including illustration and anime. Includes Pixar’s highly anticipated RenderMan XPU™ which allows artists to harness the power of the GPU for incredibly intuitive material creation. RenderMan version 24 delivers a suite of exceptional tools for advancing look-development workflows for feature film animation and VFX.
