Example 10: Shaders

[spider853]

this can be done without pixel shader.. only textures and blending

[KhmaiBodian559]

what are shaders?

[TheMorMor]

A spercifik shader is an algorithm to comnpute the color of a pixel(or face if non pixelshader) in correlation to the lightsource and the viewpoint.

So this is what I undertsand. From the vasic. It Manpulates pixels, lighting and geometry in realtime, right?

[xXShadowAsasNXx]

A shader doesn't have to compute the color of a pixel. There are different kinds of shaders, like vertex, pixel and geometry. A shader programs the graphics card to do specific things with the data sent to it. For example, a vertex shader might be programmed to transform coordinates from model space to world space.
