Commonly referred RSL, '''Renderman Shading Language''' is used to define shaders used in [[Renderman]]. The language syntax is [[C programming language|C-like]].

[[Pixar]] has set a standard in the Shading Language. The word Renderman is used when referring to renderers that use the [[Reyes rendering]] algorithm and follow the standard set by PIXAR[[Pixar]] as far as programming the shaders.

The beauty of using a standard language is that a programmed shader can be used in multiple renders, be it [[PhotoRealistic RenderMan]] or an open source solution such as [[Pixie (renderer)|Pixie]] or [[Aqsis]].
