On eBay, you see "RARE" on everything, but this is extremely so. I bought this back in the day to learn about 3D. It was expensive, but it let me use MacRenderMan to render RIB scenes using the included compiled shaders in C. I would look at the shader source, tweak it and experiment. Showplace2.2 lets you position objects, lights, add textures and use the included Mac version of RenderMan to render. It also includes the networked version for using multiple Machines to render. The manual is the real gem in my opinion, it is like a course in computer graphics. Glimpse is Pixars Looks editor and is also included, as is the Showplac/MacRenderman License. Typestry2.1.1 (floppy is missing but can be found in the wild, but license is included) is a 3D text animation and rendering package, that was actually the first 3D software I used. It uses it's own built in MacRenderman to render animated, textured text to image or movie files. Also included are the CDs for Valis shaders, which you had to license per folder. and Pixar Looks. Also included is a Pixar newsletter/advertisement for Showplace2 and Typestry2. John Knolls Cyber mesh is a very cool plug-in for Photoshop, letting you turn a grayscale image into a 3D model. I used it with ElectricImage back then. I no longer have a Mac from this era, so I can't load any of this any more. I am looking for $200 minimum, plus shipping from Los Angeles. Thanks for looking.
