OSL (Open Shading Language) is a programming language designed by Sony for Arnold Renderer used for creating shaders.
// Single-line comments start with //
/* Multi line comments are preserved. */
// Statements can be terminated by ;
divide(1,2);
///////////////
// 1. Basics //
///////////////
// Declating variables
color Blue; // Initializing a variable
int _num = 3;
float Num = 3.00;
float c[3] = {0.1, 0.2, 3.14}; // Array
// Math works as you would expect
3 + 1; // 4
74 - 3; // 71
20 * 2; // 40
75/3; // 25.0
// And modulo division only works with integers
10 % 2; // 0
31 % 4; // 1
// Bitwise operations only works with integers
- 0 // 1 (Unary Negation)
~ 00100011 // 11011100 (bitwise Compliment)
1 << 2; // 4 (shift Left)
12 >> 1; // 3 (shift Right)
1 & 0; // 0 (bitwise AND)
1 | 0; // 1 (bitwise OR)
1 ^ 1; // 0 (bitwise XOR)
// We also have booleans
true;
false;
// Booleans can't be compared to integers
true == 1 // Error
false == 0 // Error
// Negation uses the ! symbol
!0; // 1
!1; // 0
!2; // 0
//... and so on
// Relation Operators are defined like:
0 == 0 // true (equal to)
0 != 1 // true (not equal to)
5 < 3 // false (less then)
3 <= 3 // true (less than or equal to)
69 > 69 // false (greater than)
99 >= 52 // true (greater than or equal)
// Functions are same as C and C++

// 2. Shaders //
////////////////
// Shaders explain the custom behavior of materials and light
// Shader's syntax is similar to the main function in C
// The inputs and the outputs should be initialized to default types
shader multiply(float a = 0.0,
float b = 0.0,
output float c = 0.0){

float Reflectivity = 0.5 [[ float min = 0, float max = 1 ]],
){...}

// Metadata Types

// 3. Data Types and Global Variables //
////////////////////////////////////////
// Data Types
// 1. The void type indicates a function that doesn't return any value
// 2. int (Integer)
int x = -12; // Minimum size of 32-bits
int new2 = 0x01cf; // Hexadecimal can also be specified
///////////////////////////////////////
// Order of Evaluation
///////////////////////////////////////
// From top to bottom, top has higher precedence
//--------------------------//
// Operators //
//--------------------------//
// int++, int-- //
// ++ int --int - ~ ! //
// * / % //
// + - //
// << >> //
// < <= > >= //
// == != //
// & //
// ^ //

//--------------------------//
// 3. float (Floating-point number)
float A = 2.3; // minimum IEEE 32-bit float
float Z = -4.1e2; // Z = -4.1 * 10^2
// Order of evaluation is similar to int.
// Operations like ( ~ ! % << >> ^ | & && || ) aren't available in float
// 4. string
// The syntax is similar to C
string new = "Hello World";
// some Special characters:
/*
'\"'; // double quote
'\n'; // newline character
'\t'; // tab character (left justifies text)
'\v'; // vertical tab
'\\'; // back slash
'\r'; // carriage return
'\b'; // backspace character
*/
// Strings are concatenated with whitespace
"Hello " "world!"; // "Hello world!"
// concat function can also be used
string concat ("Hello ","World!"); // "Hello world!"
// printf function is same as C
int i = 18;
printf("I am %d years old",i); // I am 18 years old
// String functions can alse be used
int strlen (string s); // gives the length of the string
int len = strlen("Hello, World!"); // len = 13
// startswith returns 1 if string starts with prefix, else returns 0
int starts = startswith("The quick brown fox", "The"); // starts = 1
// endswith returns 1 if string starts with suffix, else returns 0
int ends = endswith("The quick brown fox", "fox"); // ends will be 1

point Q = point(0, 0, 0);
// Finding distance between two points
float len = distance(point(1, 2, 3), point(4, 5, 6)); // 5.196
// Perpendicular distance from Q to line joining P0 and P1
float distance (point P0, point P1, point Q); // 2.45
// 9. matrix
// Used for transforming vectors between different coordinate systems.
// They are usually 4x4 (or) 16 floats

0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 7.0 */
float x = m[1][1]; // 7
// matrices can be constructed using floats in row-major order
// matrices are usually 4x4 with 16 elements

// 10. array
// Arrays in OSL are similar to C

int len = arraylength(b); // 3
int f = b[1]; // 80
float anotherarray[3] = b; // arrays can be copied if same type
// 11. struct (Structures)
// Structures in OSL are similar to C and C++.

color rgb;
float alpha;
};
RGBA col; // Declaring a structure
RGBA b = { color(0.1, 0.2, 0.3), 1 }; // Can also be declared like this
r.rgb = color (1, 0, 0); // Assign to one field
color c = r.rgb; // Read from a structure field
// 12. closure
// Closure is used to store data that aren't considered when it executes.
// It cannot be manipulated or read.
// A null closure can always be assigned.
// OSL currently only supports color as their closure.
// A few examples of closures are:
// Diffuse BSDF closures:
closure color oren_nayar_diffuse_bsdf(normal N, color alb, float roughness)
closure color burley_diffuse_bsdf(normal N, color alb, float roughness);
// Dielectric BSDF closure:
closure color dielectric_bsdf(normal N, vector U, color reflection_tint,
color transmission_tint, float roughness_x, float roughness_y,
float ior, string distribution);
// Conductor BSDF closure:
closure color conductor_bsdf(normal N, vector U, float roughness_x,
float roughness_y, color ior, color extinction, string distribution);
// Generalized Schlick BSDF closure:
closure color generalized_schlick_bsdf(normal N, vector U,
color reflection_tint, color transmission_tint,
float roughness_x, float roughness_y, color f0, color f90,
float exponent, string distribution);
// Translucent BSDF closure:
closure color translucent_bsdf(normal N, color albedo);
// Transparent BSDF closure:
closure color transparent_bsdf();
// Subsurface BSSRDF closure:
closure color subsurface_bssrdf();
// Sheen BSDF closure:
closure color sheen_bsdf(normal N, color albedo, float roughness);
// Anisotropic VDF closure: (Volumetric)
closure color anisotropic_vdf(color albedo, color extinction,
float anisotropy);
// Medium VDF closure: (Volumetric)
closure color medium_vdf(color albedo, float transmission_depth,
color transmission_color, float anisotropy, float ior, int priority);
closure color uniform edf(color emittance); // Emission closure
closure color holdout(); // Holdout Hides objects beneath it
// BSDFs can be layered using this closure
closure color layer (closure color top, closure color base);
// Global Variables
// Contains info that the renderer knows
// These variables need not be declared
point P // Position of the point you are shading
vector I // Incident ray direction from viewing position to shading position

normal Ng // Normal of the surface at P irrespective of bump mapping
