36: Real-Time Shading Languages
Monday, Full Day
8:30 am – 5:15 pm
Ballroom C3
Not long ago, real-time procedural shading languages were
a fantasy. Now they are not just a reality, they have
been achieved through several approaches. In this course,
leading researchers present the strengths and weaknesses
of their methods and offer a glimpse of the future.
Prerequisites
Working knowledge of a modern real-time graphics API like
OpenGL. Familiarity with the concepts of procedural shading
and shading languages.
Topics
How interactive procedural shading languages can be implemented
using advanced programmable hardware, using more modest
extensions to graphics hardware, or even with existing
graphics hardware. SIMD rendering hardware, parameterized
and procedural solid texturing, hardware extensions, and
multi-pass rendering.
