RenderMan 24.0 (2172149)

This new release of RenderMan for Blender 24 (RfB) has been completely rewritten to take advantage of the RenderMan 24 toolset, including XPU™, Stylized Looks, and Lama.

RenderMan for Blender 24 represents a completely new code path compared to the previous version of RenderMan for Blender (which supported RenderMan 21). This version takes advantage of the new interactive rendering capabilities that were introduced into RenderMan several years ago, where the old version was batch render oriented.

New features include:

• Support for Blender 2.83 LTS and Blender 2.92.
• Rendering inside of the Blender viewport.
• RenderMan XPU and Stylized Looks support (a commercial license for these features is required).
• A redesign of the Preset Browser.
• New light linking, light mixer, and trace sets editors.
• Texture Manager support.
