   Books on shaders, HLSL
  Hi,Im just looking for some recomendations fro beginners, at the moment im looking at the 2 shaderx2 books, avaliable in free PDF form, from Wolfgang Engel."Introduction and Tutorials with Directx 9"and"Shader programming Tips and tricks with Dx9"All the other books i have found seem to be advanced, such asshaderx 3 - 7Gpu Gems 1 - 3although, "shaders for game programmers and artists", seems quite friendly for beginnersso, any advice on which ones to get?   
  GPU Gems 1&2 are also available for free on nVidia's website   ;  As far as I know, this is the best book for a beginner. You can read large portions of it for free here. The first 10 chapters are there in full. The others have some parts missing.
