Semantics supported by Viewport 2.0 to be used with MShaderInstance

 
 
 

To hardware render effects in Viewport 2.0, you can use the following semantics with the MShaderInstance API class.

NoteThe dx11Shader.mll plug-in is an MPxShaderOverride. Therefore, it must parse the effects to determine and bind the semantics. By comparison, MshaderInstance does all this automatically, although it is more restrictive.
