   HLSL and other shaders...
  Hello...ive recently had the urge to check out shaders... i have looked all over the net and can find quite alot of info on shaders...but most of it is about the assembly style shaders...I like the look of HLSL and have made a simple texturer thingy using it...but i cant find any info out there on it... anyone know of any places to go look?i hear that CG is basically identical to HLSL apart from it has CG_ at the begining of most function things...anyway any advise or help would be great...thanks... 
  I can''t answer your question, but you would probably get more help in the Graphics Programming and Theory forum. ;  oh well...thanks anyway...;  if you like shaders, prepare to go to heavendeveloper.nvidia.comwww.cgshaders.org ___________________-Nicholas Anton-raptor85.siigna.net;  yeah i looked there...but iwas looking for more HLSL type things... but if i cant find any i may go look at CG, i only want to find out a bit more about them.. as they look like they are capable of some REALLY good effects...thanks again! ;  Check out ShaderX2. They''re really good books with a lot of HLSL stuff. I like them. I just need to get a chance to read them;  I just received yersterday a new book from amazon called "The Microsoft DirectX 9 Programmable Graphics Pipeline" byKris Gray and it has a lot information about HLSL for vertex and pixel shaders.
