About RenderMan for Houdini
RenderMan for Houdini (RfH) is an update of the standard PRMan plugin shipped with Houdini. The standard plugin supports a basic set of features available up through RenderMan Pro Server version 20.3. Pixar's RenderMan for Houdini expands the PRMan feature set to include the latest capabilities available from each successive version of RenderMan Pro Server.
More information can be found in the Houdini Documentation regarding RenderMan.
The Tools
RenderMan
The primary component of RfH is the RenderMan plugin itself. It will present itself as the "RenderMan" renderer option in the Create Render Node option. No changes to a scene are needed in order to render using PRMan's Reyes-style rendering. You can choose the RenderMan - RIS node to use the RIS architecture in RenderMan 20.
