As we’ll see in the course of this book, shaders in mental ray are used throughout the rendering process and for very different purposes. For most shader types, there is a standard structure for the inputs and outputs that you can rely on when you are writing a new shader. To begin to make sense of that structure, we’ll start with a really simple idea for a shader and expand what it can do until we arrive at one of the basic structures for shaders in mental ray.
