Terminology in 3D Industry
The name RenderMan can cause confusion because it has currently been used to refer to different things developed by Pixar:
- RenderMan Interface Specification (RISpec), Pixar's technical specification for a standard communications protocol (or interface) between 3D computer graphics programs and rendering programs
- RenderMan Shading Language
- PhotoRealistic RenderMan (PRMan), a RenderMan Interface Specification-compliant rendering software system developed by Pixar based on their own interface specification
- RenderMan, also commonly used to refer to other renderers because of their compliance with the RenderMan standard

Famous quotes containing the word industry:
“As our boys and men are all expecting to be Presidents, so our girls and women must all hold themselves in readiness to preside in the White House; and in no city in the world can honest industry be more at a discount than in this capital of the government of the people.”
—Jane Grey Swisshelm (1815–1884)
