RenderMan is free for all non-commercial purposes, including evaluations, education, research, and personal projects. The non-commercial version of RenderMan does not include the XPU™ and Stylized Looks™ toolset, but is otherwise fully functional without watermark or limitation, all you need to do is use the “rendered with RenderMan” logo in your credits.
RenderMan has a flexible licensing system. A single RenderMan License can be used either for batch rendering or for rendering with an artist seat.
Floating or Node Locked- Choose between floating and node locked licensing. Floating RenderMan licenses can be distributed across a network as needed, allowing the full utilization of all licenses on the renderfarm to achieve top performance. Node locked licenses offer ease of installation and are an efficient solution for a single workstation.
