Open 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 Illumination Research's 3Delight renderer,[1] Otoy's Octane Render,[2] V-Ray 3,[3] and by the Cycles render engine in Blender (starting with Blender 2.65).[4] 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.
In Renderman is OSL also an important module. [5]
Home of Development is GitHub. Actual Version is 1.11.14 released 2021-05-10. [6]
