HLSL to GLSL converter

ATI have an interesting open source project for those of us using OpenGL but keep finding examples for DirectX only... A converter for HLSL into GLSL

nice shouldn't this be in the tools section?

sounds like a must have for openGL devs!!

*shrug* Dunno, possibly should be a "tools" thread. Was more interested in getting the post out before I forgot about it than correct forum. If a mod thinks so - it'll be moved

I don't think it is a "necessity" by any means. I just found it useful when reading a DX tutorial and converting it over to my OpenGL engine(s).

Nice signature, btw, though you probably need a bit more hype before making it

I'm thinking this forum would be better, for such a neat tool.

I was going to use this, but I wasn't sure if there was a difference in performance if I used the Cg language (I know that Cg is a shader language for OpenGl and DirectX)

I don't think Cg would make any difference performance-wise, but you will have to use the Cg library in your project for it to work

much faster learning the missing shader language. once learned a language the other one is very fast to learn. Very good tool anyway
