The "Renderman" legend is an urban legend revolving around the 2007 sandbox building game Blockland.

Description

Since its release, rumors have flourished about an elusive entity called the Renderman (a clear reference to the creepypasta creature Slenderman) that inhabited the world of Blockland. Supposedly, the Renderman would appear whenever the player took a screenshot of their game either while shaking the camera violently or in a dark location.

When the Halloween Update was released, claims about "Preppers", a new form of Renderman, circulated on the Internet, claiming that these flashing red ASCII terror faces ("°Д°") would appear on dark maps and kill the player. Needless to say, these rumors have yet to be substantiated, although numerous mods have been made to put Renderman and its various forms in the game.
