''"This version works with any mesh and execute the ray intersection in tangent space. Apparent depth can be controlled with a factor (aspect from width or height divided by depth). So depth 0.1 means 10% of texture tile width/height in object space. This version does not require any extra information passed on vertices."''

| |
| − | === Shader Tutorials ===
| |
| − | [http://www.bencloward.com/resources.shtml Ben Cloward's web site] is a great source of information.

| − | === Shader Syntax ===
| |
| − | There are two popular text-based ".*fx" formats. Both formats are extremely similar. More info at [http://developer.nvidia.com/object/using_sas.html].
| |
| − | * .fx is for DirectX only, and is based on HLSL.
| |
| − | * .cgfx is for use with either DirectX or OpenGL, and is based on Cg.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | HLSL programming guide and full reference is included in the DirectX SDK downloadable from Microsoft. Unpack the .exe file and find the help file ../DXSDK/Documentation/DirectX9/windows_graphics.chm

| |
| − | === Shader Editors ===
| |
| − | To create and edit shaders, most people use a text editor (like [http://notepad-plus.sourceforge.net Notepad ++]) to write them and a 3d program (3ds Max, Maya, etc.) to view them. For those who are new to shaders the following tools provide a graphical user interface for easier creation:

| |
| − | * [http://www.lumonix.biz/shaderfx.html Shader FX] ''"is a full-featured real-time shader editor for 3ds Max. It allows artists with no previous programming experience to build complex HLSL or CG FX shaders. Free for individuals and companies smaller then 2 employees."''
| |
| − | * [http://www.mentalimages.com/products/mental-mill/standard-edition.html mental mill Standard Edition] ''"allows the user to write and edit shader code, and visually debug the shader by interactively inspecting variables while stepping through the code. As well, the user can export shaders for use in DCC and CAD applications through the supported, customizable back-end formats such as CgFX, HLSL, and GLSL."'' The more limited [http://www.mentalimages.com/products/mental-mill/artist-edition.html Artist Edition] is free for personal use, and comes bundled with 3ds Max 2010.
