In OSL ?! (!)

Yes, these are all OSL shaders.

Very great !
About the render time :

As a result, we are seeing our OSL shading networks execute 25% faster than the equivalent shaders hand-crafted in C!

So, it is more faster in OSL in Vray or not ?

I don't know what their "hand crafted" shaders looked like My guess is that it is only faster if you compile a complex shader network with lots of procedural nodes, since in that case a lot of dead code dealing with various options can be omitted or simplified. For V-Ray, at the very least, it is certainly not any slower than native V-Ray shaders.

It is a good news !

Cool to see some progress!
