This class covered advanced rendering techniques, focusing on the Renderman specification. Images were rendered using a Renderman compliant package, 3Delight.
     Dr. Rosalee Wolfe provided much of the framework for this classes' projects. I wrote all shaders to specification. Topics discussed in class include:

•  Renderman syntax
•  primitive data types
•  transformation and attribute blocks
•  shaders and sl:
• surface shaders
• light shaders
• displacement shaders
•  the plastic shader and the Phong model
•  texturing using multiple tif images
•  the alpha channel
•  antialiasing
•  coordinate systems:
  • object
  • world
  • shader
  • normalized device
•  texture mapping:
•  planar
•  cylindrical
•  spherical
•  box
•  reflection
•  bump mapping
•  procedural texturing
