The RenderMan Interface is a
standard interface between modeling programs and rendering programs
capable of producing photorealistic quality images."
RenderMan is in many respects similar to PostScript, but for 3D
primitives. The goal is to provide a standard mechanism for modeling
and animation software to send data to rendering systems in a device-
independent way, and with minimal regard to the actual rendering
algorithms being used. A particular RenderMan implementation may use
scanline methods (z-buffer, REYES), ray tracing, radiosity, or other
methods.
An important aspect of the RenderMan Interface is the Shading
Language (SL). SL breaks the restrictive paradigm of surfaces being
described by a small number of parameters (Ka, Kd, Ks, etc.). SL
allows the user to write her own arbitrarily complex descriptions of
how lighting and shading should be computed.
