I wos wondering if you could explain some basic concepts to me
1) Renderman, i know this is what pixar use as rendering software but i dont understand what purpose it has.
2)CG- does this mean computer graphics?

1. Renderman is a render software developed by Pixar. I don't know specifics about Renderman as i've never used it but like all rendering software it combines all elements of the project, such as textures and lighting.

2. I guess CG could mean "computer graphics" but i believe CG is refered to as in "CGI" - "Computer Generated Imagery"
