Abstract
If you’re reading this it is probably because someone showed you some work and told you it was “rendered with RenderMan”. Perhaps you saw Toy Story or Monsters Inc. and decided to find out more about the RenderMan software used to create it. In fact, nothing was ever rendered with RenderMan, and RenderMan isn’t even a piece of software. It therefore seems essential that the first thing that should be established is what exactly RenderMan is.
