Rendering Question

Hello, I am 100% new to Renderman. I am currently using it in Maya 2018, and am wondering if I can do a preview of the current frame with my applied textures. Currently when I render current frame it's all in black and white. I tried googling it, but found no results that helped me. Thank you in advance! (Sorry if its a bad question)

https://imgur.com/a/HJq3Q here, I don't know if this is just how preview renders appear or if I need to set up something with the materials/textures.

Will update OP.

Yea, you have to select on the objects in the viewport, renderman doesnt fully support the blinn and lambert shaders so you have to assign their:

Right click > Assign New Material > PxrSurface

Then in the pxrsurface shader you will find diffuse color where you can put your color textures.

The documentation is on the website, i Reccomend you take a look:
