Pixar have always used Alias Maya; Renderman has never been a stand-alone product. There is no such thing as "Maya Renderman" as a solo product, I joined the words together because Renderman is not a stand-alone; and it also is not Maya's Hypershader that was the basis for Shaders but Renderman.

Ask, don't respond. That's how you learn.

No where in my post did I imply that Renderman is used without Maya as per se - but it only recently got full integration with Maya in the form of a plugin.
I was picking up on the fact that you called it "Maya Renderman", because, OK, it's used as a rendering engine etc. by Maya, but it is a separate product as such. Just because a product is mainly designed for or requires another, does not automatically require the conjoining of their names. I don't call Microsoft Word "Windows Word", or Dark Basic "Windows Dark Basic"; but both of these products are effectively 'zilch' without what they depend on in (in this case Windows) in the same way as Renderman is to Maya.

If that's the case, which it is of course, then why mention Maya at all? It's completely irrelevant.

While we're playing the 'advice game', here's one for you; Don't talk complete and utter trash the majority of the time, and expect anyone to trust anything you say later. I picked up on what you said, because you often fabricate things out of nothing, and I was ensuring for crystal-clarity that you weren't implying a load of bull, because your statement could of definitely been read as being so - entirely based on what you have said/done in the past of course.

A question would be a form of response, so either way I win. QED
