I just got the Autoshade 2.0 from Autodesk and it includes a renderman 
interface.  It includes the ability to write your own shaders in
C format and compile them for use by the renderer.  No C compiler
is needed as the shader takes care of the interpretation/translation of
the C source shader file. 

I will be trying to model mechanical parts and will post images/movies
to alt.binaries.multimedia when I get some more experience using 
renderman.
