The latest (second revision) of the "Programming Mental Ray" book
should come with a demo version which has the following restrictions:
_____________________________________________________________________

This is a restricted mental ray demo version. Disabled features:
- performance - the demo runs about ten times slower on average,
- thread and host parallelism,
- loading and saving of shadow, photon, and final gather map files,
- light mapping, and
- resolutions greater than 510 * 510 and odd resolutions.
A mental ray stamp is overlaid on rendered images.
_____________________________________________________________________

I guess you can write more or less every shader type (except the ones
loading and saving the files mentioned above). Should be enough to get
started with but it's kind of expensive (the book). Nevertheless you
might end up reading it anyway ...

Search for "Programming Mental Ray Volume 2" at amazon.com ...

Cheers,

Jan
