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.
