# like a beam of light shooting over her,
and the light has some form of power cos it's tearing her clothes off.

# No bump mapping then
unless you have some way to solve a 2nd order differential equation in a pixel shader.

# Hong Phong Phooey?

# Phong lighting model only applies to
point based light sources. A beam as is described is emitting light from a line or surface... and therefore no, you can't just use phong's lighting model

# what the hell does pixel shading
have to do with renders? :P

# ?
As far as my knowledge is concerned, "Pixel Shader®" Is a technology used in video cards, and Is not part of any rendering engine.

# Ever heard of renderman?
okay they have about 900 types of shaders in renderman but they have about 10 types of pixel shaders

# Yeah I know of renderman
Never used it before though, I don't do many renders, I model for games not for renders, So my rendering knowledge is fairly limited.

I can set up lights, cameras, physics, bla bla bla, however if you said "How does Mentalray work?" I wouldnt be able to say shit :P

I only just understand HDRI :D

# I think ATI have a shader compiler which reads a subset of renderman shaders
and turns them into vs and ps programs

# Hmmm...
All I know is Maya > you.

Maya is what I use for everything, It has a rendering engine, and has Mentalray, and can do HDRI, and has Antialiasing, my need to know more about how it renders is not needed.

I just stick it on 1280x960, turn it on Production Quality and click the render button. Wait a few seconds, Badda Bing done :P
