It is an event when Pixar’s website is updated, and an even bigger one when a major portion is redesigned!
The RenderMan portal of Pixar.com has just launched with a brand new design. The industry standard in rendering has been the leader for over 20 years and this website celebrates how truly epic that is! Included in the page is information for professionals and curious fans alike.
In the "What’s RenderMan?" section you’ll find information about the product itself such as awards it’s won/movies it’s been used for, specific technical specifications, FAQs and more. As you delve further into the site you’ll notice a selection of RenderMan products and links with information for purchasing titled: "The Tools." There’s also a "News" area featuring press releases, testimonials and the such. Finally you’ll see the "Support" section which is meant for those in the industry who have purchased the software.
There’s lots to look at but remember, much of the facilities on this branch of Pixar.com are meant for professionals only, so I’d advise you to please respect that.

FINALLY. I love it when they update their site — I only wish that they’d do it more often (although their hectic schedule is understandable).
Thanks for the information! I’ll definitely be checking this out….
Now to the rest of the site, haha.
For the product, it’s easy to understand why they have to update its section, but integrate it into the Pixar site seems somewhat disjointed in look and style.
Wow that Ratatouille-food part was so cool!
