A while ago I mentioned BFA was crashing while Renderman was rendering inside BFA and I could only render using RM’s external view

Turns out its a Renderman to Blender plugin problem and here’s the current way to fix it:

https://github.com/prman-pixar/RenderManForBlender/pull/560/files

The plugin is really stable now, it was a crash fest until I found the fix thread, it crashed.. a lot, I think I was saving every 5 mins

This is great news. Thanks for reporting back

Is the official Renderman plugin also updated already?

[NigeC]

no I don’t think so, the release version is from August and the older renderman 2.15

Thanks. Have added a note to our plugin database.

But great that you have a full working Renderman version in Bforartists now

Another thing worth mentioning is if you download the file “RenderManForBlender-master.zip” you need to open the zip and loose the minus symbol before master from the name of the folder inside, otherwise the libary option doesn’t work, I renamed mine to RenderManForBlender.zip

You need to remove the original version too

This applies to BFartists and Blender

They really send you through a few loopholes here …

I think the worst thing  is the help is in different places.. people aren’t using the tracker system that much
