9/16/2023 0 Comments Renderman books![]() ![]() Thanks to the folks at Thomson Course Technology PTR for commissioning this book, and for their patience while it was being completed. Saty The RenderMan team at Pixar (past and present members) deserves a big “thank you!” for coming up with a wonderful rendering platform that amazes and delights so many of us, and for continuing to innovate and change it on a regular basis. For all of the above, thanks a lot princesa! To Ana and Nicole, you are my inspiration and my drive, and I will love you forever. She even stepped up to the plate to become the main provider while I made the transition from the graphic design world to the animation/vfx industry. Through all the small geeky discoveries that while she might not have understood what on earth I was talking about, she shared the excitement with me. ![]() This book and my current career would not be possible without the continuous support of my wife Alexandra who stuck with me through all the long nights of frustration and doubt. To Mike McNeill for his attentive eye during tech editing. To Marta Justak for her enormous patience and guidance through the many revisions of this book. To Kevin Harreld for his belief that this book has a market and that we could deliver it. Also for being so supportive of all of my career changes and all my “creative business ventures.” To Rich Pickler, who first introduced me to RenderMan and convinced me that I would be able to understand it if I stuck with it. For teaching me at an early age that you must always work hard to achieve your goals, and that there is never a good enough reason not to try your best. Acknowledgments Rudy I would like to thank my parents for their undying support and guidance. ■ 25 Thomson Place ■ Boston, MA 02210 ■ Dedication Dedicated to RenderMan’s developers and its community of students, professional users, and hobbyists.
