The animation and notes on this page explain how custom shaders written in the RenderMan Shading Language can be animated using SLIM parameter expressions.

Final HD Render

Original Pattern

I took my original plaid-like pattern, and animated it.

Below is the original code: THE CODE

RSL - Shader Code

I created a slim code that will transfer to Maya. THE CODE

This is what the RenderMan shader looks like in Maya using the cutter slim code.

The hl1-5 and vl1-5 sliders will control the beige lines while the blSqur01 will animate the blue square.

Animations

The results is the animation below.

Then I decided to add some geometry and play around with the final look.

I also added DOF. Voila!

Final Animation

Even though the pattern animation looks interesting, the shader itself is very flat.

We learned how to make a lambert shader, and I used that information to create a

more interesting look to the geo.
