Shaders

[stew]

Do you have a specific software you want to write the shaders for?

For RenderMan shaders, the RenderMan Academy (http://www.rendermanacademy.com/) would be a good place to start, Rendermania (http://www.rendermania.com/) and theRenderMan repository (http://www.renderman.org/RMR/) are very useful too. nVidia's documentation for cg contains a good document on surface reflection models (http://cvs1.nvidia.com/DEMOS/OpenGL/src/cg_lightmodel/Surface%20Reflection%20Models.doc)

I don't know about web sites for Mental Ray, but I have seen books about programming Mental Ray.

Um shaders forr brazil (3dsmax)

[stew]

Did Brazil ship with some documentation? You may also try the web site of Splutterfish. I read there that Brazil supposedly supports programmable shaders, but I don't own it.
If you're not fixed to Brazil, there are alternatives for 3ds max, I once used MaxShade to write custom shaders.
