New with this release are production-proven technologies Hex Tiling Manifold and Phasor Noise New Patterns - We are continually working to provide more artistic options for your look development.Live Statistics - Watch your rendering resource usage live, thanks to a completely redesigned statistics system that prioritizes interactivity and extensibility.OpenColorIO - Robust support for the industry-standard ACES colour management system and other colour spaces in all bridge products, including the interactive RenderMan Image Tool.You can non-destructively control outlines, create sketch patterns, and develop a wide range of unique looks, including Anime, by using the same familiar toolset. Stylized Looks is available only in the Commercial version of RenderMan Stylized Looks™ - Move beyond physically based shading and lighting into a world where you can easily create a variety of styles for your projects.MaterialX Lama - A state-of-the-art material layering system developed at Industrial Light & Magic introduces a modular approach to building material networks and includes new work on dispersion and energy conservation.XPU is only available in the Commercial version of RenderMan This first phase of XPU is focused on accelerating look development for shading artists. XPU™ - Pixar’s hybrid CPU + GPU rendering technology is a next-generation rendering engine, rewritten for speed and efficiency on film production assets.I’m also excited about the OCIO enhancements in this version as colour management is something we all need to have in place in the VFX industry. A couple of people wanted to rage un-install just because they could not compare it to redshift. I was painfully aware of this in some of the Youtube comments. One cloud on the sky however is the Non-commercial version, it does not feature XPU. XPU it’s not for production rendering still but it’s a big step forward towards final frame rendering. I’m excited about the future of XPU that will now bring even more rendering power in my home studio as I can utilize my graphics card as well as the CPU when I do my look-development.



The new shading system LAMA makes it easier to blend advanced shading effects There are so many new features and new buttons to press and It’s hard to pick one major feature as they all are massive improvements in their own right. I’m excited about the Renderman 24 release.
