Renderman Shading Language Computer Graphics as Virtual Photography Renderman consists of three parts: real camera photo Photographic Photography: scene (captures processing print Functional scene description mechanism (API for light) C) Renderman is an Interface! State Model Description – Maintains a current graphics processing state that can be placed onto a stack. Geometry is drawn by utilizing the current graphics state. File format - Renderman Interface Bytestream camera Computer 3D synthetic tone (RIB) model Graphics: models reproduction image (focuses Shading Language and Compiler. simulated lighting) Renderman Shading Language Renderman Shading Language Renderman Shading Language Unlike other shading languages, Rendeman allows for procedural definition of all types of Inspired by Cook’s shade trees light transport, not just reflection Goals Light emission Abstract shading language based on ray optics, Atmospheric effects independent of any specific algorithm or Reflection implementation Transmission Interface between rendering program and Transformations shading model High level language that is easy to use. Bump Mapping Renderman Shading Language Renderman Shading Language Types of shaders Types of Shaders Light source shaders - calculates the color of Displacement Shaders - perturb the surface of a light being emitted in given direction. an object Surface reflectance shaders - computes the Transformation Shaders - apply geometric light reflected from a surface in a given transformations to coordinates direction Imager Shader - post processing on image Volume shaders - implements the effect of pixels. light passing through a volume of space, i.e., exterior, interior and atmospheric scattering Note: Not all shaders need be available in effects. an implementation! 2

Renderman Shading Language Renderman Shading Language Features Built in operations C-like Arithmetic, trigonometric, derivative Declaration – not a function but a shader Control (if-then-else, for, while, etc) Instance variables (shader arguments) Vector (dot product, cross product) Local variables Geometric (length, distance, etc.) Global variables (e.g., for color and opacity for Lighting (secular, diffuse, ambient, surfaces) illuminance) No return type Texture mapping functions Shader modifies global graphic state variables Renderman Shading Language Light Shaders Attaching shaders to object RiLightHandle RiLightSource (“name”, parameterlist); or LightHandle LightSource “name” parameterlist - sets shader “name” to be the current light source shader RiSurface (“name”, parameterlist); or Surface “name” parameterlist - sets shader “name” to be the current surface shader. RiAtmosphere (“name”, parameterlist); or Atmosphere “name” parameterlist - sets shader “name” to be the current atmosphere shader. [ Renderman Companion , 277] Light Shaders Describes the directions, amounts, and colors of illumination distributed by a light source in a scene. Will get called by surface shaders that “query” the scene Light Source for light sources. May contain solar and illuminate calls. Shader Global variables State Ps – position of point on the surface being shaded L – vector giving direction from the light source to the point being shaded (this vector will be used by surface shaders) Cl – color of the energy emitted. Setting this variable is the purpose of a light shader. [Hanrahan, 1990] 4
Light Shaders Light Shaders light L is not usually set explicitly, instead, L ambientlight (float intensity = 1; is usually set by auxiliary lighting color lightcolor = 1) functions: { solar – directional distribution Cl = intensity * lightcolor; globals solar (vector axis, float spreadangle) { } L = 0; -- will set L to axis } Illuminate – point light distribution L is vector from light source to point being shaded illuminate (point from) { } Sets L to Ps - from Note: Up to programmer to accumulate results of reflectance computation Light Shaders Light Shaders light distantlight light pointlight ( float intensity = 1; ( float intensity = 1; color lightcolor = 1; color lightcolor = 1; point from = point "camera" (0,0,0) ) point from = point "camera" (0,0,0); { Position of light source point to = point "camera" (0,0,1)) illuminate (from) { Cl = intensity * lightcolor / (L . L); solar (to - from, 0.0) Coordinate system } Cl = intensity * lightcolor; Distance 2 to convert to } (dot product) Note: illuminate does expect a position for the light source. With no axis, Note: solar restricts illumination to a range of directions without specifying a angle, means it illuminates in all directions. position for the source. Light Shaders Light Shaders Spotlight geometry Another form of illuminate illuminate (point from, vector axis, float angle) Will set L to Ps – from Light only em itted within a cone (of a given angle) around a given axis Spotlights [ Renderman Companion , 223] 5
