Some guy told me to go try RenderMan on a M4 MacBook Pro before getting back to him.
...I won a RenderMan Art Challenge once. I also got an honorable mention in the most recent one running RenderMan on a M4 Max MacBook Pro.
I also used to work at Pixar.
Do those count?

The Pixar RenderMan team has a paper out at HPG 2025 this week about the architecture of RenderMan XPU. There's a lot of interesting details in the paper- definitely a worthwhile read!

At this year's RenderMan Art & Science Fair, I gave a Stupid RenderMan Trick talk about hacking black hole gravitational lensing into RenderMan. The project was inspired by Oliver James and Kip Thorne's work for Interstellar, and after the talk... I got to meet Oliver James! This was so cool!

Tadaaaaa !! Finally finished and happy to present you my perception of my beloved Pierrot's room 😌
It was a school project, theme "Bedside Table", did in Maya, rendered with Renderman

Here's the story of RenderMan:
RIP Loren Carpenter (1947-2025), who I just learned passed away on December 21 at the age of 78. He worked for the Lucasfilm Computer Graphics Division (where he helped create the Genesis effect for Star Trek 2, and Rescue on Fractalus!). He co-created RenderMan and was chief scientist of Pixar. 🤯

Next part of the RenderMan assets I'm texturing for class. Pretty happy with how this jacket turned out! 1/2 #GameArt #Texturing #Renderman #Practice #SubstancePainter #MagicShop

Practicing to improve my texturing using assets from a previous RenderMan art challenge for classes. I'll be posting pictures or videos straight from substance painter as I become satisfied with each part. Any tips appreciated! #GameArt #Texturing #Renderman #Practice #SubstancePainter #MagicShop

Just moving over to Bluesky and wanted to share that this year I'm celebrating 25 Years at Pixar.
Thanks to all the folks I've made along the way,
and special thanks to those who have tolerated my terrible puns.

Over on the bird site, there's currently a thread where an AI bro using Gemini is mansplaining raytracing and denoising to the guy who leads Nvidia's Omniverse raytracing team and previously architected RenderMan XPU and Animal Logic's Glimpse.
Man I wish I had that much confidence in life.

Digital effects supervisor Karen Goulekas: "We worked for a long time to develop the look of the crust and lava, and the activity that occurs when they meet."
It was made with Renderman, Prisms, Alias and proprietary softwares.

I also was in an Apple ad a few years ago where I was using RenderMan on a MacBook Pro. It was in the M2 MacBook Pro announcement keynote; there's a five minute thing at the end with some pro users testing out the M2 Max MacBook Pro, and if you go watch it, that's me!
So yes I've used RenderMan.

Schwarzschild black holes now work, with plausible Einstein and photon rings and temp test accretion disk. Next up: Kerr black holes.
Wacky part of this project: this is RenderMan integrator that extends PxrPathTracer even though I don't have the source for PxrPathTracer.

Loren Carpenter was one of my heroes, and I was fortunate to know him as a friend. He pioneered 3D computer rendering: Fractal landscapes, procedural terrain in games, RenderMan. Brilliant talent, master of zoetropes, gentle, kind and giving. Genesis Effect, Rescue on Fractalus. RIP.
