The book was published in 1989, when Pixar had developed the Renderman rendering interface standard and implemented the PRMan PhotoRealistic Renderman implementation that is now widely used in the film industry. One of the interesting things is that in 1986 Pixar also developed a computer graphics hardware system similar to today’s Nvidia general-purpose graphics cards - Pixar Image Computer. ...

Reference Renderman 24 For Blender Doc Cameras in Blender Depth of Field in Blender Depth of Field (DOF) is a photographic technique used to convey scale (size) and areas of interest in a composition. Clever usage can lead a viewer to certain parts of your image and increase photorealism by correctly mimicking a real-world lens. RenderMan provides controls for realistic and compelling images with depth of field. There are also options that are non-physical but great for creating art-directed imagery. ...

Reference Renderman 24 For Blender Doc Rendering in Blender Integrators in Blender Integrators take the camera rays and return results to the renderer. For the main integrators these are estimates of the light energy (radiance) from the surfaces seen from the outside along the rays. These main integrators are responsible for computing the overall light transport, that is, light that travels from a light source through your scene from object to object (or through objects and volumes) to reach the camera. Interior integrators assist in specialized cases by handling the light within surfaces or volumes. We provide three main production quality integrators, though users can substitute their own. ...

Reference Renderman 24 For Blender Doc Shading Materials and shading networks in RenderMan for Blender are built up pretty much the same way as Blender’s built-in renderers, using the Shader Editor. However, there are some shortcuts and UI widget differences. Attaching a Material You can attach materials (bxdf’s) to selected objects using the shortcuts in the Object Context Menu: This will attach the selected material to the selected objects in the outliner. ...
