  Book Information

Unlike other books on the market that cover RenderMan, this up-to-date guide goes beyond the RIAPI and scene description by offering comprehensive coverage of RSL and shader writing techniques--perhaps the most important part in achieving spectacular images with RenderMan. In spite of the continued popularity of the RenderMan standard, very few univiersities teach the skill. Users are typically self-taught. This comprehensive guide gives RenderMan enthusiasts the instruction they are looking for. The RenderMan Shading Language Guide teaches expert coding style and techniques and offers instruction for setting up a proper shader developing environment. From RSL fundamentals to advanced shading techniques, this book will help you develop the skills you need to effectively use the RenderMan Shading Language.
