Vadim, Your information is a little bit outdated. Larry Gritz, author of
BMRT, worked for Pixar, but about 1 year ago leaved it and created his own
company, called Exluna. BMRT is now maintained by Exluna (previously L.
Gritz was only developer) and still developed (although not very
actively, as it seems), but their main product is Entropy, RenderMan 
compliant renderer (it's not raytracer, but scanline renderer, using 
somewhat similar technology as PRMan, Pixars renderer). Exluna has 
gathered quite a number of CG gurus (Matt Pharr, Pat Hanrahan, L. Gritz 
himself, Steve Upstill etc.)
