RenderMan API

RenderMan API is a set of tools that allows software to communicate with and control RenderMan, a high-quality rendering engine used to create realistic images and animations. It provides a standardized way for artists and developers to describe 3D scenes, materials, lighting, and shading. By using the API, different programs can efficiently send data to RenderMan for image computation, enabling the production of detailed, photorealistic visuals for movies, visual effects, and more. Essentially, it’s a bridge that facilitates precise and flexible rendering workflows in professional digital content creation.
