## RenderMan

RenderMan is a high quality rendering system created by [Pixar](https://renderman.pixar.com/view/renderman). VTK can export RenderMan RIB files for rendering by [prman](http://renderman.pixar.com/view/renderman-prman-the-rispec-and-renderman-studio). In the spring of 2015, Pixar released a [non-commercial version](http://renderman.pixar.com/view/PR-NCR) of its RenderMan products.

## Remote Modules

Remote modules are user contributed code that is not distributed with VTK. A description of a remote module and the location of its repository is listed in the VTK/Remote directory with the extension .remote.cmake. Once enabled, a remote module is treated like any other VTK module. Each of the remote module examples describes how to enable the example. More information about remote modules is [here](http://www.vtk.org/Wiki/VTK/Remote_Modules).

| Example Name | Classes Demonstrated | Description | Image |
| -------------- | ---------------------- | ------------- | ------- |
