Since folks seem to be interested in RenderMan here, I thought I'd jump in with some relatively new info involving RenderMan and the PC. It would seem that a new Windows-based rendering program from Pixar, WinRman is being bundled with MacroMedia's MacroModel for Windows. Although Pixar dosen't seem to be interestred in actually marketing WinRman as a stand-alone product, I understand it *can* be obtained from directly from Pixar for approx. 1500$. How functional WinRman could be for the 3DS user remains to be seen, and I haven't personally investigated this information yet. However, if I was dying to use Rman shaders with 3DS I think it would certainly be something to look into.
