Essential guide to Renderman® shading plugin developmentunderstanding Bxdfs /[electronic resource] :by Brad E. Hollister. - Berkeley, CA :Apress :2023. - ix, 141 p. :ill., digital ;24 cm.

Chapter 1: Overview, Brief Contextual History, and Pixar's Non-Commercial RenderMan -- Chapter 2: What RenderMan Plugins Are Made Of: C++ Language and Shared Object Files -- Chapter 3: Radiometry and Bi-Directional Scattering Functions -- Chapter 4: Monte Carlo integration and Global Integrators -- Chapter 5: The RenderMan (Rix) API -- Chapter 6: Canonical Scattering Regimes for Bxdf -- Chapter 7: Developing and Debugging Bxdf -- Chapter 8: PDF Normalization, Sampling, and Anisotropic Bxdf -- Conclusion.

Understand the fundamentals of Bxdf plugins for RenderMan® 21+, both the technical details and API architecture. The main goal of the book is to enable technical artists, hobbyists, and students in using the noncommercial (NCR), free RenderMan® edition. RenderMan® is an industry standard for rendering software. It has been used for every Pixar film to date and numerous other projects. RenderMan® 21, and all subsequent versions, use Monte Carlo path tracing. This change has necessitated the use of C++ plugins in place of the RenderMan Shader Language (RSL) Because of this, writing Bxdfs now requires knowledge of Monte Carlo integration, probability density functions, and the RenderMan® C++ API. Essential Guide to RenderMan® Shading Plugin Development specifically addresses writing RenderMan® C++ materials. It explores the mathematical models of representative Bxdfs while drawing parallels, when helpful, to earlier RSL implementations. It also includes an overview of Integrators, providing further context for modern RenderMan® programmable shading. What You Will Learn C++ development for Bxdfs Fundamentals of the rendering equation Monte Carlo integration.
