Gary, is that photorealistic renderman or renderman with autocad? if you are talking photorealic renderman with digital arts software then multiple frames are possible with there utilities. i came in late on this thread so i may be off in what you are talking about. sherwood (sherwood animations)

I was talking about the Rman that ships with Autoshade, plus any other version of Rman that runs on the Intel (or Motorola) processors. I think that DGS is using a transputer version… aren't they? – G

yes and no, there are really three versions 1> renderman compliant(there version of renderman) 2> photorealistic renderman by pixar 3> the transputer version which can be mixed with the above for more speed in rendering i quess. i have all three but only use the pixar version because of its shaders. and i'm not about to go out and spend 3,000 per transputer. sherwood

Sheesh, that's a complex array of choices. I can't wait to see the Rman stuff on your demo tape. I'm guessing that you're using some pretty cool shaders… – G

Sherwood, You should check w/ ALTA. They have a 10 tranputer board for about $4000. Very hot. Fast DGS rendering.
