Here are some images created in renderman. The first is a renderman scene that simply has some changes from the original scene provided by the professor. The second image shows the same scene with some new shaders. The third image is an image created from a new scene using unique shaders and values.
All shaders were found at http://www.renderman.org/RMR/Shaders/surface.html
Follow the link to find shaders to use yourself. Credit for these shaders go to their respective authors. I did not make any of the shaders used in the above images.
