5.0 out of 5 stars The standard RenderMan reference, 15 May 1999

By A Customer

If you want to work with RenderMan (Pixar's, BMRT, RenderDotC's or whatever) and RIB (RenderMan Interface Binary) while using C, this is the book. It's not only good, it's the one that everyone who already uses RenderMan recommends. Buy it. It's what all the cool kids are doing =)

4.0 out of 5 stars Useful, if not a little dated., 29 April 2000

By A Customer

A good basic Renderman reference. A little out of date though in its discussion of the shading language. Worth buying.

5.0 out of 5 stars A "must have" for working with RenderMan-compliant renderers, 1 Jul 1998

By A Customer

If you're working with renderers like RenderMan or BMRT, you've gotta get this book. It covers the C binding for creating RIB files, as well as going over the various features of RenderMan. Between this book and the RenderMan manual (on Pixar's Web site), you can get started with hacking together your own RIB files and procedural animations.
