I wanted to do a tutorial aimed at people who are new to Renderman and show a couple of things that you need to think about when tackling render times and quality. I struggled a little to keep it simple here so sorry if I waffled on a little. It seems I'm going to have to do a tutorial about linear workflow which is basically my least favourite thing to have to explain! I touch on it a little at the end so you can sort of do it even if you don't really understand what you're doing.
Questions, comments and tutorial requests are always welcome in the comments or DM me.
My PC specs for reference are:
-Intel i7 3770 3.4ghz (not overclocked)
-nVidia GTX980
-16gb of RAM
