Aqsis is a high quality, photorealistic, 3D rendering solution. It complies with the Renderman® interface standard defined by Pixar.

Aqsis comprises a command line rendering tool, a tool for compiling shaders in the RSL language, a tool for preparing textures for optimal use, and various developer libraries to enable integration with third party tools.

Aqsis is licensed under the GPL license, with some parts under the LGPL.

Just installed on my mandriva system.....

Code:

[root@localhost ~]# urpmi aqsis
To satisfy dependencies, the following 2 packages are going to be installed (6 MB):
aqsis-1.0.0-1mdk.i586
libaqsis0-1.0.0-1mdk.i586
Is this OK? (Y/n) y

    ftp://ftp.nluug.nl/pub/os/Linux/distr/Mandrakelinux/official/2005/i586/media/contrib/libaqsis0-1.0.0-1mdk.i586.rpm
    ftp://ftp.nluug.nl/pub/os/Linux/distr/Mandrakelinux/official/2005/i586/media/contrib/aqsis-1.0.0-1mdk.i586.rpm
installing libaqsis0-1.0.0-1mdk.i586.rpm aqsis-1.0.0-1mdk.i586.rpm from /var/cache/urpmi/rpms

NAME
aqsis - a free-as-in-freedom RenderMan engine

DESCRIPTION
Aqsis is a free-as-in-freedom 3D render engine for GNU/Linux and Win32,
that conforms to the industry-standard RenderMan Interface. Aqsis is
capable of producing motion-picture-quality output and implements all
major features of the RenderMan standard, including programmable
shaders.

Please visit http://www.aqsis.com for more information.

SYNOPSIS
aqsis [options] [RIB file ...]

OPTIONS
-h, --help
Print help information and exit.

--version
Print program version information and exit.

--pause
Wait for a keypress after rendering is complete.

--progress
Print progress information while rendering (see --progressfor-
mat)

--Progress
Print prman-compatible progress information while rendering
(same as --progressformat="R90000%p%%").

--progressformat=[string]
Specify a printf-style format string that overrides the default
--progress output format (does not affect --Progress). Format-
ting codes are: "%p" = percent complete "%s" = total elapsed
seconds "%S" = total remaining seconds "%m" = total elapsed min-
utes "%M" = total remaining minutes "%h" = total elapsed hours
"%H" = total remaining hours "%t" = total elapsed time in
HH:MM:SS "%T" = total remaining time in HH:MM:SS "%f" = frame
number "%%" = % character

--endofframe
Override the "endofframe" option from the input RIB file(s).

--nostandard
Disable automatic declaration of standard RenderMan parameters.

-v, --verbose=[level]
Controls the verbosity of output messages. "0" = errors only.
"1" = errors and warnings (default). "2" = errors, warnings,
and information. "3" = errors, warnings, information, and
debugging output.

--renderinfo
Print information about base render settings.

--type=[type]
Specify a display device type to use.

--addtype=[type]
Specify a display device type to add.

--mode=[mode]
Specify a display device mode to use.

-d, --fb
Equivalent to --type="framebuffer" --mode="rgb".

--crop [x1] [x2] [y1] [y2]
Specify a crop window in screen space.

--rc=[file]
Specify a RIB configuration file that will be parsed prior to
each input RIB file (overrides the default and AQSIS_RC_PATH
environment variable).

--shaders=[path1:path2...]
Specify the path(s) used to search for compiled shaders (over-
rides the default and AQSIS_SHADER_PATH environment variable).
You may specify multiple search paths, delimited using a colon.

--archives=[path1:path2...]
Specify the path(s) used to search for archived RIB files (over-
rides the default and AQSIS_ARCHIVE_PATH environment variable).
You may specify multiple search paths, delimited using a colon.

--textures=[path1:path2...]
Specify the path(s) used to search for texture files (overrides
the default and AQSIS_TEXTURE_PATH environment variable). You
may specify multiple search paths, delimited using a colon.

--displays=[path1:path2...]
Specify the path(s) used to search for display plugins (over-
rides the default and AQSIS_DISPLAY_PATH environment variable).
You may specify multiple search paths, delimited using a colon.

--dsolibs=[path1:path2...]
Specify the path(s) used to search for DSO shader plugins (over-
rides the default and AQSIS_DSO_PATH environment variable). You
may specify multiple search paths, delimited using a colon.

--procedurals=[path1:path2...]
Specify the path(s) used to search for procedural geometry plug-
ins (overrides the default and AQSIS_PROCEDURAL_PATH environment
variable). You may specify multiple search paths, delimited
using a colon.

-nc, --nocolor
Disable colored log output.

--syslog
Log output messages to syslog (Posix only).
ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
AQSIS_RC_PATH
Overrides the RIB configuration file that will be loaded prior
to each input RIB file (this overrides the default, but can be
overridden by the --rc option, above).

Overrides the path(s) used to search for compiled shaders (this
overrides the default, but can be overridden by the --shaders
option, above). You may specify multiple search paths, delim-
ited using a colon.
