RenderMan Description
Pixar Animation Studios' advanced technology for rendering animation and VFX. RenderMan is a state-of the-art framework that can render physically-based rendering. It offers unrivalled flexibility for any production process. RenderMan is used by Pixar for its feature films, but it is also used in the industry to render Visual Effects and animation. This makes RenderMan's core strengths scalability, versatility, and adaptability. You can now get out-of box production tools directly from Pixar Animation Studios. This includes materials and light transport. No development required. RenderMan can deliver highly realistic lighting using physical-based shading. This includes full support for multibounce ray traced global illumination (ray traced subsurface scattering) and multi-bounce, ray traced global illumination (ray traced global illumination). These traditionally expensive effects have been made possible by a lot of research and development. Materials come fully loaded and include all creative options.

appleseed
Appleseed is an open-source, physically-based global illumination rendering system that was primarily developed for animation and visual effects. Appleseed is actively developed by a small international group of talented volunteers from animation and VFX. Its primary mission is to provide small studios and individuals with a reliable, fully open rendering program. Appleseed has been used in many projects over the years, including ads, promo videos, TV documentaries, and an animation short. Appleseed uses a modern workflow that relies on path tracing. This allows for single pass rendering without any artifacts and minimal technical tuning. It can render completely unbiased rendering when accuracy is paramount, or biased rendering when artistic freedom and a shorter rendering time are more important.
