RenderMan is a key technology used to create Pixar films such as THE INCREDIBLES and FINDING NEMO. Not only a Pixar tool, RenderMan is the most popular commercial software for creating 2D images from 3D models. RenderMan’s anti-aliased motion blur enables artists to integrate realistic visual effects created from 3D models with live-action footage. The RenderMan shader language is the industry standard for creating photorealistic images.
