[Poll] What kind of feature in a Shader Designer

DeusXL · Post by **DeusXL** » Sun Sep 03, 2006 11:48 am

I'm currently writing a GLSL/ARB Shader Designer and I was wondering what king of options should be useful with it.
Currently you can write your pixel/vertex shaders and the shader set callback but a problem appeared when I coded the parallax mapping because it needed a Tangent Mesh to work... and I had to modify the source code to add tangent mesh... not ergonomic at all !
So I'm wondering what kind of customization you would need in a shader designer.

Any idea is really welcome !

PS : Does this kind of software already exist (I remember of RenderMonkey for ATI) for OpenGL ?

The funny part is that Render Monkey's open gl shaders are sometimes even better then dx's

for example the motion blur shader
