The buy page says it's $3,675. At first glance, free Renderman looks like it's going to cost a lot to actually use.

Yup, and perpetual licenses are going away next January. Full version of Maya will be $185/month or $1470/year.

Ouch.

Using Maya isn't the only way to use Renderman:

* via Rib files (there used to be Blender exporters) * via the RI API * via Katana (not that that's free either, but...)
