Here are some impressions of example shader effects.
Please click on the thumbnails to see a larger view.
Diffuse Lighting |
 |
|
 |
Basic diffuse lighting on a vertex basis from a point light source
without attenuation. |
 |
Diffuse & Specular Lighting |
 |
|
 |
Vertex diffuse & specular lighting (extended of example above). |
 |
DOT3 Product Bump Mapping |
 |
|
 |
A diffuse & specular bump mapping effect. |
 |
Phong Shading |
 |
|
 |
An ambient, diffuse and specular phong shader on a per-pixel basis. |
 |
"Holo" silhouette rendering |
 |
|
 |
A NPR effect that renders a translucent silhouette. Use alternate
gradients to achieve totally different impressions. |
 |
Image filters |
 |
|
 |
Different "post rendering" effects processed in the pixel
shader. The pixture on the left shows a black & white filter,
in the middle a sepia tone was added (PS1.4 only) and on the right
a heat signature gradient was applied (PS1.4 only). |
 |
Cartoon shading |
 |
|
 |
A single-pass rendering approach for a toon shading effect. Shades
the surface with a three-tone gradient map. Edge "detection"
via a mip-map solution. |
