brl-cad and Ayam3d(brmt) both make use of procedural
shaders. modeling the geometry is the easy part. the
shaders can be a little intimidating. if you really
want to get into it(rendering) i would recommend
buying a copy of the Renderman Companion. execellent
book. if you just need the min to get your project i
can send you some samples of ayam3d stuff to see how
it was done or point you to some tutorials.
let me know if i can help.
