Open Shading Language

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This is an old revision of this page, as edited by Zundark (talk | contribs) at 12:50, 17 May 2017 (rewording (so that it doesn't sound like it's talking about a Cycles render engine in V-Ray)). The present address (URL) is a permanent link to this revision, which may differ significantly from the current revision.

Not to be confused with OpenGL Shading Language.

Open Shading Language (OSL) is a shading language developed by Sony Pictures Imageworks for use in its Arnold Renderer. It is also supported by V-Ray 3,[1] and by the Cycles render engine in Blender (starting with Blender 2.65). OSL's surface and volume shaders define how surfaces or volumes scatter light in a way that allows for importance sampling; thus, it is well suited for physically-based renderers that support ray tracing and global illumination.
