Lollipop Shaders ships new free RenderMan shaders

Lollipop Shaders has a couple of new additions to its online library of free procedural RenderMan shaders: a choppy ocean shader, and a skin suburface shader.

The site – about which we’d heard good things, but never quite managed to cover on CGChannel – has been releasing shaders steadily since last summer, beginning with the basics (Fresnel, AO, iridescence, and so on) and working up to more complex materials.

There are currently 28 shaders available for download, the majority also provided in native 3Delight .sdl format. The site also offers commercial ‘Pro Kits’ including source code and extra documentation.
