[X3D-Public] Shaders - Re: Adobe At it Again

It's HLSL.

I think VRML and X3D do great in shaders, I write some text on wiki:  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X3D

>> In 2000's, many companies like Bitmanagement improved quality level of virtual effects in VRML to quality level of DirectX 9.0c. All main features like game modelling are already complete. They include multi-pass render with low level setting for Z-buffer, BlendOp, AlphaOp, Stencil, Multi-texture, Shader with HLSL and GLSL support, realtime Render To Texture, Multi Render Target (MRT) and PostProcessing. Many demos shows that VRML already supports lightmap, normalmap, SSAO, CSM and Realtime Environment Reflection along with other virtual effects.

And I have upload some video on Youtube:

John;

There were 3 shading languages that were popular; all 3 went into the spec. NVidias one (Cg) is, IMHO, dead. 

FreeWRL supports GLSL - the OpenGL Shader language.

IIRC, BitManagement supports the Microsoft Shader language (which, as a sign of age I forget the name of at the moment) 

I think, in my little opinion, that the world is moving to GLSL. Certainly, it is platform independent.

Of course, GLSL is, like many things, in flux.... which is a course in itself.
