More or less. Actually the shader itself is not part of POV's SDL: you write the
shader,
and compile it with another program (povslc.exe).  The shader describes the way the
surface is colored, including lighting.  That's why the finish of the object should
have
an ambient of 1 and a diffuse of 0.
But shaders are actually a Renderman-thing.  Hence the name POVMan...

Same principles, other formulas :)
