That sounds about right.  What can I say.  There is a limit to how picky one
can be when on a budget, which describes me at all times.

The best place to start is the Renderman companion by Steve Upstil.  Did I 
make it clear that BMRT is a renderer only?  I don't remeber if I pointed
that out of not.  A few people sit down and use it with just a text editor,
but most people just export their files to RIBs, then hand modify if needed,
then render.  BMRT can use all CPUs at once at least (it isn't threaded, it
is just network aware, and you can run multiple instances on one machine).
