|> What do you we use for Renderman References in 3.0

A must is The RenderMan Companion (A Programmer's Guide to Realistic
Computer Graphics) by Steve Upstill. Published by Addison-Wesley. ISBN
0-201-50868-0

I also recommend the RenderMan Language Specification which is available
for about $20 directly from Pixar. (You can call Pixar and ask for
RenderMan sales at (510) 236-4000) It defines the RIB file format (which
the companion does not) and occationally has insights into other details
of RenderMan.

Both of these are slightly out of date with respect to RenderMan on the
NeXT. Pixar, and others, are defining a spec for RenderMan 4.0. The NeXT
implementation seems to be a preliminary version of the RenderMan 4.0
spec. I don't know where you can get details on the new additions, I
hope that the 3.0 final documentation includes them.
