Overview

Blue Moon Rendering Tools (BMRT) is a collection of RenderMan compliant rendering tools. The AL BMRT extension provides:

the "bmrt" render package for use with BMRT's renderers ("rendrib", "rendribv", "rgl"); and
a Scheme binding to the slcargs library for querying information about shaders (most users will not need to access this binding directly).

In addition, this document provides a quick reference to BMRT rendering attributes and options in the context of the AL programming language.

Basic usage of the "bmrt" render package is described in the rendering section of the AL Language Reference. Also, the definitive reference for the workings of BMRT software is the Blue Moon Rendering Tools: User Guide.

Loading the Extension

Use require to load the AL BMRT extension (Note: the BMRT extension may already be loaded by default depending on your environment.)
