RND201 is our second in a series of RenderMan courses at fxphd. In our
previous installment, RND101, we introduced the RenderMan specification
and exposed some of the fundamental features that have now become the
cornerstones of Photorealistic RenderMan, Pixar's own implementation.
Students should have taken our rnd101, or have basic working knowledge
of Renderman before attempting this course.
This course will build upon the concepts that were introduced in our
first set of courses and explore more advanced features as well as
refine our understanding of how the geometry and the shaders interact.
We will be experimenting with look development through custom
procedural shaders for special effects with case studies of problems
such as flames and fire as were used in feature films. We will also be
taking a closer look at some of the common pitfalls of CGI rendering
and some of the methods used to remedy or mitigate these undesirable
visual artefacts. And if time allows, we will be introducing some
ray-tracing in our images.
This course squarely aimed at the intermediate level shading technical
director or students interested in delving deeper into shading and
rendering techniques. As part of this short introduction, we'd like to
put forward a little disclaimer : some mathematics are required for
this course. I have dedicated specific sections to cover in detail the
topics that we will be using.
Also, this course really focuses on Photorealistic Renderman (PRMan).
As such, while Kraemer will be using Maya plugins and other Pixar
software such as Renderman Studio and SLIM for convenience, he will not
be focusing on their functionality. These tools are a topic on their
own and covering their intricacies would take too much time away from
the topics introduced here.
