![]() ![]() I tend to say, there are more free user friendly packages available for new Rhino users, eg. At any case, learning PrMan is not a quick process as you won`t find much tutorials for it online. The RhinoAIR plugin works best with AIR so in order to use its *.rib output for PrMan you would need to have a large understanding of options, attributes and shaders which are different between AIR and PrMan. ![]() This plugin RhinoAIR is free and still in active development for Rhino 5 and the upcoming version 6. This has to be done by a user who wants to use PrMan together with the *.rib files RhinoAIR exports out of Rhino. Thus the plugins rib output cannot be used directly, it has to be changed (in file) so renderman specific options and attributes are properly accessed. The AIR renderer is very close to prman, but not identical. While the development of the RhinoMan plugin stopped, Scott Iverson, the developer of AIR included a new Plugin to be used with his renderer called AIR. into *.rib files suitable for various other different renderers using the renderman standart eg. When this has been available, there where options in its plugin dialog to export rhino geometry, material colors etc. To make things easier, there has been a Plugin for Rhino called RhinoMan developed by Brian Perry years ago. Just some history, so it is easier for other new users to understand the current state of Rhino`s support for renderman based renderers: *.rib files are textbased, you can open them and, if you are “tech safe”, type in there to change them setting up searchpaths so it can find your shaders, textures etc. ![]() The exported rib file can be opened with prman and from there you pretty much have to do your stuff on your own. That does not mean it works like a click and go process a new user would expect from nowadays rendering and animation software. As Wim said, Rhino had a RIB (renderman interface bytestream) export since version 1. ![]()
