Well thats cool, that RenderMan is finally available for purchase, but I'm not looking foward to that price tag.
3dsMax has been really good to me, so I think I'll stick with it.

^Good choice, 3Ds max is probably a bit easier to use then renderman.

If only it were cheaper... I would definetely want this..

[Executioner]

Hasn't Renderman and Maya BEEN out since like last year or a couple years now?

There better be a trail or a learning edition like Maya has. I would love to try it out.

[Disney_Guy]

Renderman has been available for a loooooong time. I remember seeing it at the West Coast Computer Faire ages ago.
