Message-ID: <1493@ulmo1.mt.luth.se> Date: 15 Jun 90 13:16:32 GMT Organization: University of Lulea, Sweden Lines: 15 I have been reading Steve Upstills book "The RenderMan Companion". It it a good book for all that wants an introduction to RenderMan and the RederMan subroutine library. Unfortunately the book was very breif on volume shaders. I have also found a reference to RenderMan Interface Bytestream (RIB) which was not mentioned in the book. I would be very pleased if someone could give me more information on volume shaders and a specification of the RIB interface. Thanks.
