I often see reference to Python in RenderMan papers. As far as I understood, seems there is, since 2008, a standard Python API defined with the RenderMan reference. The RenderMan Reference version 3.2 (the PDF file) is dated 2005, so is not aware of it. I could find a more up to date draft version of the RenderMan standard, but this one too, does not make reference to a standard Python API.
Just wanted to know if there is really one, and if Pixie supports it.
With thanks and happy modeling, all.
