Physics Shaders

This shader library provides a collection of shaders that implement caustics, global illumination and other functions that support physical correctness.

Before any shader in the physics shader library can be used, it must be attached to the mental ray rendering software using a statement link "physics.so", and the shaders must be declared with the statement $include <physics.mi>. Declarations are given in mi format, as described in chapter shader on page shader. Here is the summary:

group	shader	page
Lens	physical_lens_dof	physical_lens_dof

Light	physical_light	physical_light

Material	dgs_material	dgs_material
	dielectric_material	dielectric_material
	path_material	path_material

Photon	dgs_material_photon	dgs_material_photon
	dielectric_material_photon	dielectric_material_photon

Participating Media	parti_volume	parti_volume
	transmat	transmat
	parti_volume_photon	parti_volume_photon
	transmat_photon	transmat_photon
