I think the underrated feature with this release is official Blender support. I'm excited to test the differences in RenderMan and Cycles.

  That is not only underrated but huge.

    And at only $600 (+ $250 a year) RenderMan is comfortably within the budget of serious hobbyists and budding freelancers.

      Or free for non-commercial.

  Do you know what advantages does Renderman bring in comparison to Cycles or eeven Eevee, for hobbyists mainly?

    I'm not in a position to make a comparison, but I think a big drawback of cycles is it's very noisy. It's one of those things where you maybe get an OK looking render in 30s, but it takes >5m to get a render that's actually noise free. Which is workable for still frames, but painful for animation.

    For hobbysists? Likely not much, other than familiarity with an industry standard renderer (though not as popular as it once was). For professionals, you get quite a few things but speed optimizations (resolves faster in my experience), render quality (usually fewer fireflies in my experience) and some more advanced transmission models to name just a few.
