  abstract =     "The RenderMan Interface specification proposed by
                 Pixar is a standard for communication between modeling
                 software and rendering software or devices. This
                 standard has proven very powerful and is extremely
                 popular in production work. Although the standard
                 itself claims not to specify a rendering algorithm,
                 people have speculated RenderMan and global
                 illumination are mutually incompatible.\par

                 We have implemented a rendering system which fully
                 adheres to the RenderMan Interface and uses global
                 illumination algorithms. Specifically, this
                 implementation supports progressive refinement
                 radiosity and distribution ray tracing in a two-pass
                 approach. This rendering system is widely distributed,
                 very popular, and has been used in production (three
                 properties usually not found in global illumination
                 renderers). We discuss how we overcame problems in
                 mating global illumination algorithms with the
                 RenderMan standard, and make recommendations for future
                 versions of the standard to better accommodate such
                 algorithms. We also present a summary of important
                 lessons we learned by creating and distributing this
                 tool.",
