It dives into all the lights offered in the software (area lights, mesh lights, etc.), as well as the main shading networks (PxrDisney and LM-layered materials) and beginner-intermediate rendering settings in RenderMan's new RIS path-tracing rendering engine. This introduction teaches the basics of using RenderMan with Autodesk Maya, including features such as arbitrary output variables (AOVs), the path tracer, and integrators. Created by Pixar, and available for the first time ever for noncommercial use, RenderMan is the high-end 3D rendering package that can be used for any 3D rendering projects: animation and visual effects, but also architecture, visualizations, and commercial work. Use PRMan-safe settings for tile size, planarconfig, and metadata.Ever wondered how Pixar makes all their animated feature films and how most studios around the world do their visual effects? Meet RenderMan. Use OIIO-optimized settings for tile size, planarconfig, metadata, and constant-color optimizations. You'll probably want to use this flag if your image contains an alpha channel. Unpremultiply before color conversion, then premultiply after the color conversion. If the output color space is not the same bit depth as input color space, it is your responsibility to set the data format to the proper bit depth using the -d option.

Specify output file format (default: guess from extension) tx files and that involves maketx adding metadata that lets Arnold make more optimizations, such as being able to detect duplicate textures and only loading a single copy into memory or detecting constant color images, such as an all-black UDIM, and instead of storing all those black pixels in memory Arnold can special case that. The second level of benefit is only with. The previous level you could get from non-tx files that you saved with tiles and mipmapping.
tx for the few images you are actively modifying if you don't want to wait for them to be constantly converted to.
This should be considered mandatory, with the possible exception being don't use. These will dramatically improve time to the first pixel, overall render time, and allow using a smaller texture cache. The first benefit is that you are assured of having mipmaps and tiles. Maketx is a command-line utility to convert images to tiled, MIP-mapped textures, similar to txmake in Pixar Renderman. It is part of OpenImageIO ( ) and was developed by Larry Gritz at Sony Pictures Imageworks.
