RenderMan - Physically Plausible Tutorial

Out now at RenderMan University, The Piggy Bank Breakdown.
A Maya, RenderMan and HDR Light Studio tutorial for the fast creation of physically plausible results.

This five part “How To” will show the workflows involved in shading and lighting a hypothetical CGI job for the advertising industry, an industry notorious for tough deadlines and fast turnarounds. During these lessons we will explore techniques to quickly create photorealistic images with image based lighting, as we take a simple model and use interactive ray-traced re-rendering to deliver rapid iterations for look development. These lessons will focus on using the physically plausible shading system in RenderMan Studio to achieve our final polished result.
