Yes, my temp folders and "assets" are also on my C: drive (SSD).  Usually I install software to their default file locations.
I try to have most of my "working" stuff on the SSD, and now with my increased capacity I can be a bit more lax and clean up after myself less often.
All my renderings and other big stuff go to my hard drives.
I also used Windows to redirect "My Documents" to large hard drive.

I got a "free" copy of the Assassin's Creed Syndicate game when I bought the Samsung SSD, and it didn't fit on my old SSD, so I had to install it on to a traditional hard drive.  I might look into moving it.  It took up something like 32GB of space.  Between "writing" (programming) the game and creating all those assets, it's no wonder big-name games cost millions of dollars to produce.  I'm not a gamer, but that series has always intrigued me.  So far I installed it and got through the opening animation sequence and up to the point where I had control of the character.  I tried the WSAD keys, he moved, and then I got back to other things.

Having a some fun tonight.
I involves the usual aggravation that seems to come with a lot of software projects, but I'm calling it "fun" anyway.
I got Pixar's Renderman running.  They really want you to have Maya installed (which I do not), but there are ways around it.
Using a sample file, here is my first-ever image using Renderman.

Will you look at that, there is a RenderMan plugin for Blender!

Very cool & creative. Mason has major swag, and he can moonwalk & do the robot as well. Oops! The first post is over 2 years old.. Ma bad.

Is this guy rigged? Would love to see him wreak havoc on some barbie dolls :P

@VirtualMedia,

Is the dinosaur rigged?  I suspect that's the case, but I don't have a definitive way to back up that statement.  The best answer is, "I don't know."



@Sw00000p,

I have no idea what shader is used.  Sorry.  At this point, about all I can say is I got Renderman installed and it successfully rendered the sample dinosaur.  I'd probably have to dissect the .rib file, which is something I've never done before.  Yesterday was the first time I've even had a .rib file on my computer.  I've done zero tutorials.  I haven't learned it at all.  I merely got it to work, and especially without Maya, that took a bit of effort.

I'm running Renderman in a "standalone" mode.  No Maya, no Katana, not even Blender at this time.  I ran Renderman (prman.exe) from a CMD window.  That's right - it is 2016, I'm running Renderman, and I basically used DOS to do it.

After installing the "Pro Server" application, I had to go back and install the "Studio" application that seems to be part of the Maya integration, even though I don't have Maya on my computer.  The "Studio" installation gives you the "Image Tool" (a.k.a. "IT") that will display your render.  So then I manually launched "IT" first, and then ran prman, directing the output to the "IT" application and feeding it the dino.rib file.  It worked, and I was thrilled.  And for now that's all I know.

I don't claim to know anything (yet) about Renderman.  I know what it is, and its connection to Pixar.  I wondered if I could get it to work on my computer, and I did.  Yay.  Running it via command prompts isn't a practical way to learn it.  I'm going to consider exploring the Blender plug-in, but in all honesty I might take my little success and consider this experiment done.  I am not going to buy Maya (Pixar only officially supports two integrations - Maya and Katana, and Katana is Linux-only), and there isn't really any learning documentation I could find for running it via command line.  They even warn you that the command-line approach is only for "technically minded" people.

BOTTOM LINE:  I have no compelling reason to use Renderman.  I just thought it would be fun to try it.  And I did, sort of.  I have a lot of other, more productive uses for my time.


@pmania...  If you're talking about the "UFO" video, thanks, I'm glad you enjoyed it.

I'm certain my eyes would pop.
I have no interest in Maya because I have no budget for Maya.  :crying:
