RenderMan

Never touched it, but seeing how most other renderers just rip off its algorithms and features I guess it's ok.

awesome, but my boss only allows me to work with Arnold, still better than vray I guess

Renderman 21 and Arnold 5 have converged quite a lot. It's very easy to start using one when you've used the other.

Renderman seems to produce slightly more beautiful renders out of the box. But it's buggy and has strange defaults, crashes Maya, fails to work with xgen, and so on. Renderman is slightly faster than Arnold but it may depend on what exactly your scene contains exactly.

I am an autist and having that slight increase in render appearance is worth putting up the bugs so it is my renderer of choice.

What's wrong with Vray?
