Intended for advanced programmers with OpenGL and Visual C++ .Net experience, this book contains information about the modern GPU architecture and teaches programmers how to write low-level shaders. Programmers will also learn about the Cg high-level language used to create shaders and the process of creating effects such as shadow and water modeling.
