| − | == What is a Shader? ==
| |
| − | A shader is a bit of computer code that is commonly used to describe how a surface will be rendered. It takes some inputs (textures, vertices, view angles, etc.), does some changes to them, then tells the game renderer to render them. For more info see [http://tech-artists.org/wiki/Portal:Shaders Portal:Shaders] on the Tech Artists Wiki.
