Home > Real - Time Shaders

Introduction:

Spring 2004.

Advisor: Malcolm Kesson

This page documents an independent exploration into real-time shading language cG and its integration with the cgGL runtime. Objectives included gaining an understanding of real-time shading principles, cG syntax, cgFX usage, and openGL application development. Exploration was made into the creation of a simple graphics engine which could be used to develop and test cgFX profiles.
