This DVD is an ideal introduction to the world of HLSL shader writing for real-time GPU based shaders. An understanding of basic programming concepts and 3D math is useful.
In the first of our Advanced, 3 DVD series on HLSL Shader writing within 3dsmax, Ben Cloward will give you an understanding of what a HLSL shader is. How a shader can be created with free software, edited and then displayed within 3dsmax. Fundamental programming concepts such as Data Types, Structs and Functions. How to create a shader GUI, the basic framework of a HLSL shader and much much more. By the close of the DVD, Ben will have you writing your own basic HLSL shaders.
