The Distribution

/bin

Contains the "programs" - the executables, utilities, scripts and .so's that are run in the course of things.

/etc

The /etc directory is a repository for supplemental plugins, initialization files, and subsidiary components. See the Plugins section for more information.

/include

This directory is home to the required header files.

/lib

The /lib directory contains additional resources, example files, and external resources used by PRMan, including:

• libprman.dylib -
• /lib/rsl/include - is a repository for the updated stdrsl header files, intended to facilitate composition of modern production shaders.
• /lib/rsl/shaders - contains example shaders, embodying "plausible" shading techniques and using the aforementioned header files.
• /lib/examples - contains RIB files and compiled shaders that provide renderable examples of Deep Texture rendering, "plausible" shading, the re-rendering modes of PRMan, and volume rendering.
• /lib/textures - contains useful and example textures.
• /lib/shaders - is a repository for "Old School" example shaders and the Standard RenderMan Interface Shaders. The example shaders herein embody pre-RSL 2 shading techniques and should be considered "interesting historical relics."
• /lib/thirdparty - is a repository for open source DSOs used by, for example, the SVG plugin, as well as other tools.
