Real-Time Shader Examples
This add-on shows various real-time shaders such as Effect shaders written with the HLSL, CGFX language and Hardware shaders written in C++. All shaders are available to load
from the RenderTree view under the "Realtime\Softimage Examples" category.
SimpleShader_CGFX
Demonstrates how to write a simple vertex and texture Cg shader.
SimpleHWShader
Demonstrates how to write a simple hardware shader in C++.

To run the SimpleShader_CGFX example
- Load the Data\Project\Scenes\SimpleShader_CGFX.scn file.
- A geometry should be displayed in an OpenGL view. Use the technique combo box to switch between the vertex and texture shader function.
