Most of this page is for v19/v20, but with the changes in v21 many things will be similar but might have changed slightly.

**Note: Be careful installing the new version as you cannot install the old version with the non commercial installer!! Renderman has just had a huge makeover in v21 released in Nov 2016, and much of the renderer has changed.

Open the Plugin Manager, Turn On Renderman Go To The Non Commercial Renderman Page And Follow Promptsĥ. The competition is fierce, and that's good for the end users.1. I don't envy for a second the development teams of render engines. Their presentation makes bold claims, most importantly - it will use same scene, lights and shader setups, so you can build your scene in realtime, and then switch to “full fat” Redshift if needed without additional tweaks. edit: going forward, RS (and octane) will be having a realtime version of their render engine - currently named RS RT. Lots of tradeoffs, but 60fps with instances, autolods, realtime vertex-paint effects, deferred decals, foliage, amazing materials system, GPU particles (Niagara), Houdini engine, the list goes on. PS - if it's the speed what you are really after, UE4 is an option too. I am talking here about a non-Hollywood level of visuals mind you, which will require a renderfarm whichever render you chose. RS is VERY responsive, almost magically so - you gotta try it to believe it.
As filipw mentioned, if it's the speed you are after, RS will be an option. I've used prman, the latest 22.6, and it's faster/more responsive than Mantra. Renderman 23 release will land on H18 day one (if goes according to plan), so will Karma beta. I experienced both situations, and as I see it highly depends on the number of crashes, issues, slowdowns, restart, doitagain etc / day = the MCAS factor: Machine Crashed Again Shhhhhhhh Raytracers have basically the same featureset from artistic viewpoint, the rest can be done by shading node trickery, every one has some missing features like the fake bevel shader… The question is that after work you go home with the feeling that you hate computers and regret because you chose this profession, or you think that this is one of the best professions that humans ever invented. Dylan Sisson mentioned in the general pesentation that RMan 23 will be available from the release day of H18: They work closely, so if Karma would be better for every kind of project, it would be a strange situation… For me the stability/roboustness (1.) and interactivity/memory efficiency(2.) are the most important things. You can use it right now, and XPU is coming, I guess way before the Karma GPU. Yes, it seems that Karma would make RMan pointless, but Pixar is ahead in time. My 2 cents: A combo package for indies would be the best: Houdini Indie + RMan Indie (exactly same as the non-commercial, just same usage constraints as H: $100k/year max). Let alone Karma will be as native as it gets. Apart from digital doubles (realistic human rendering) I am not sure where it will outshine karma. Mind you, I don't render hollywood VFX blockbusters, so I can't claim to have knowledge of how it will fare against karma in a typical alien invasion on New York scenario. I was entertaining this idea (of considering renderman as a main render) since I haven't switched to GPU rendering, but now i don't even think about it and will just wait for Karma. Kays, you've been using RS for a while now, i cant seem to see any reason to go prman in your situation. Also Karma promises a big speedup, let alone it's own version of GPU some time later. I couldn't find a fake bevel shader out of the box in renderman too, did i miss it? Read through docs, seem to be absent there as well. Also since I was using Mantra I just can't give up on the procedural material networks I am so used to creating, which eats up all kinds of funny business. Pixar guys make an effort to make a good impression, but starting with H18 and Karma, i can not say i am awfully impressed with it.
