Aspiring animators, listen up!\u00a0Pixar\u2019s<\/a>\u00a0working on a brand new version of Renderman, the in-house software they use to render (duh) all their awesome digital creations. There are a slew of improvements coming, but the big news is that there\u2019s a version you can download for\u00a0free<\/em>.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s a pretty amazing giveaway \u2014 Renderman is a $500 piece of software. Between Autodesk offering students a free download of Maya and the new Renderman v19 being completely free, young amateur animation enthusiasts have access to two of the tools that power some of the highest-grossing animated features in the history of cinema.<\/p>\n

In 2001, three members of the Renderman team received an Academy Award of Merit \u201cfor significant advancements to the field of motion picture rendering.\u201d It was the first time that software developers were awarded an Oscar. Since then, Pixar has added two more Scientific and Engineering Awards for Renderman advances.<\/p>\n

The new version boasts a laundry list of improvements, which you can\u00a0read about on the Pixar site<\/a>. The important thing to note is that this is an industrial-grade app capable of rendering an entire movie like\u00a0Toy Story<\/em>,\u00a0Wall-E<\/em>, or\u00a0Up<\/em>\u00a0and you can have it for free. You may, or course, need to upgrade your computer a bit if you want to be able to process your creations quickly. Rendering a lengthy, detailed animation isn\u2019t the kind of task you\u2019d want to leave in the hands of a Core i3 laptop. You could, however, and if you\u2019re not paying for the software and just want to fool around, it would probably work just fine. Slow, but fine.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019d like to get your hands on Renderman without shelling out a single cent, all you have to do is fill out a short registration form and download the bits. You\u2019ll be churning out beautifully-rendered animated featurettes in no time.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
