Unreferenced date January 2009 PhotoRealisticRenderMan , or PRMan for short, is a proprietary photorealisticRenderMan compliant renderer. It primarily uses the Reyes rendering Reyes algorithm but is also fully capable of doing Ray tracing graphics ray tracing and global illumination . PRMan is produced by Pixar Pixar Animation Studios and used to render all of their in house 3D animated movie productions. It is also available as a commercial product licensed to third parties, sold as part of a bundle called RenderMan Pro Server, a RenderMan compliant rendering software system developed by Pixar based on their own RenderMan Interface Specification interface specification .

RenderMan is both a software and an application programming interface API for network distributed rendering of complex and potentially ray traced three dimensional views, employing a render farm of many client computers. The clients do not require 3D graphics cards, but may benefit from them if they are available. Rendering of ray traced scenes and animations containing optical reflection, colored lights and colored surfaces, hair fur, and lens distortions can take hours, days, weeks, months, or years for a single computer to process, depending on the complexity, detail, and size of the individual images. For animations, the frame rate and total time period of the animation sequence can also greatly extend the total render time. The render process can be accelerated by subdividing the overall individual images into for example 10x10 pixel patches and distributing the calculation of each patch across a large collection of other networked computers. For extremely complex images and very large server farms, individual pixels can be distributed for processing by each render client.

File Toon Shader.jpg thumb A normal shader left and a NPR shader using cel shading right Non photorealistic rendering NPR is an area of computer graphics that focuses on enabling a wide variety of expressive style visual arts style s for digital art. In contrast to traditional computer graphics , which has focused on photorealism , NPR is inspired by artistic styles such as painting , drawing , technical illustration , and animated cartoons . NPR has appeared in Film movies and video game s in the form of toon shading , as well as in scientific visualization , architectural illustration and experimental animation . An example of a modern use of this method is that of cel shaded animation . History The term non photorealistic rendering was probably coined by David Salesin and Georges Winkenbach in a 1994 paper. ref Computer Generated Pen and Ink Illustration , by Winkenbach and Salesin, SIGGRAPH 94 ref Many researchers find the terminology to be unsatisfying some of the criticisms are as follows The term photorealism means something different to graphics researchers than it does to artists, who are the target consumers of NPR techniques.

Renderman Shading Language abbreviated RSL is a component of the RenderMan Interface Specification , and is used to define shader s. The language syntax is C programming language C like . A shader written in RSL can be used without changes on any RenderMan compliant renderer, such as Pixar s PhotoRealisticRenderMan , DNA Research s 3Delight , Sitexgraphics Air or an open source solution such as Pixie renderer Pixie or Aqsis . RenderMan Shading Language defines standalone functions and five types of shaders surface, light, volume, imager and displacement shaders. An example of a surface shader that defines a metal surface is source lang c surface metal float Ka 1 float Ks 1 float roughness 0.1 normal Nf faceforward normalize N , I vector V normalize I Oi Os Ci Os Cs Ka ambient Ks specular Nf, V, roughness source Shaders do the work by reading and writing special variables such as Cs surface color , N normal at given point , and Ci final surface color .

Shadeop is a term used in Rendering computer graphics computer graphics rendering to refer to an atomic, built in Subroutine function used in a shader . It is a portmanteau that blends the terms shading and Instruction computer science operation . Meaning in the RenderMan context The term is specifically used in the context of shaders written in the RenderMan Shading Language RSL for use with RenderMan Interface Specification RenderMan compliant renderer s. User defined functions written in RSL are just referred to as functions . Hence, use of the term mostly serves as a means to distinguish the latter type from built in type functions. RSL also allows for binary plugins written in C programming language C to be loaded and treated like built in shadeops. These are commonly referred to as Dynamic shared object DSO shadeops . Two RenderMan implementations, 3Delight and PhotoRealistic RenderMan , have recently added a new type called RSL plugin shadeop . This type uses a newer C Application Programming Interface API but otherwise can t be distinguished from the older type by a user, when called from within a shader. Example The following example shader makes use of the ambient , diffuse , faceforward , normalize and transform built in shadeops as well as the checkerboard user defined RSL plugin shadeop. source lang c plugin checkerboard surface checkmatte float Ka 1, Kd 1 normal Nf faceforward normalize N , I color pattern checkerboard transform object , P Oi Os Ci Oi Cs pattern Ka ambient Kd diffuse Nf source Category Shading ... more details
