17: State of the Art in Hardware Shading
Sunday, Full Day
8:30 am – 5:15 pm
Ballroom C3
Hardware supporting basic procedural shading is no longer
just a reality. It is increasingly common. In this course,
representatives of most of the current players in this
young field present practical comparisons of their latest
hardware products and application interfaces.
Prerequisites
Working knowledge of a modern real-time graphics API
like OpenGL or DirectX and familiarity with the concepts
of procedural shading.
Topics
Practical comparisons of procedural shading interfaces
and capabilities of most current hardware. Rendering
hardware, procedural shading extensions, multi-pass
rendering, and new graphics APIs.
