Is your rendering software feeling a bit jealous of that cool new update? Well, Pixar just dropped RenderMan 27.1, and it's strutting its stuff with support for MaterialX Lama and checkpointing inside RenderMan XPU. Who knew a renderer could flex more than your gym buddy? Honestly, if my rendering problems got fixed as quickly as Pixar updates their software, I’d be out of excuses for my last-minute project panics. But hey, at least now I can pretend my delays are due to “checkpointing” instead of my Netflix binge-watching habit. So, what’s next? A renderer that serves coffee while it works? Now that would be a game-changer. https://www.cgchannel.com/2025/12/pixar-releases-renderman-27-1/ #RenderMan #Pixar #AnimationUpdates #TechHumor #3DRendering
