Need Help With Renderman!

[maddmaxx1001]

:huh: Could anyone please help me? I have downloaded almost every available copy of pixars renderman 11 and have spent many unsuccessful hours trying to get the various licences to work. I saw a note that someone else was having a problem because the licence was made for an intel processor and not AMD. I did find a little uccess with renderman 10 but it wouldnt work with maya 4.5 or 5 only with maxman. But since I changed it, to try v11 none will work now!
I have an AMD Athalon 1800 on windows xp home.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

btw: this is the only graphics related program I have not been able to get working so far :)

express your thoughts and dreams :) look on http://internet-news.gmxhome.de

I have a working copy of Renderman Artists Tools 5.5 for Maya 5.
It works on an AMD CPU, the license service does not need to be running. I got my copy from bittorrent, if you want, I can re-seed it for a day or two so that you can get it.

The only problem I had with this, was when using SLIM to convert a displacement map on Artisan brush strokes to a different geometry type (moving strokes a from its internal type to a poly mesh), which caused a crash, but everything else works.

Its a shame that Renderman has such slow GI when many rays are being calculated, otherwise it would be my favourite renderer. :D
