╚═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝
│ │
│ The OpenGL(R) Shading Language, a high-level procedural shading language │
│ for OpenGL(R), is the most important new development in graphics │
│ programming to emerge in years. OpenGL is the leading cross-platform │
│ 3D-graphics API, and the OpenGL Shading Language allows developers to │
│ take total control over the most important stages of the │
│ graphics-processing pipeline. With OpenGL 2.0, the OpenGL Shading │
│ Language has officially become part of the OpenGL standard and it will be │
│ a fundamental part of graphics application programming for years to come. │
│ │
│ OpenGL(R) Shading Language, Second Edition, extensively updated for │
│ OpenGL 2.0, is the experienced application programmer's guide to writing │
│ shaders. Part reference, part tutorial, this book thoroughly explains the │
│ shift from fixed-functionality graphics hardware to the new era of │
│ programmable graphics hardware and the additions to the OpenGL API that │
│ support this programmability. With OpenGL and shaders written in the │
│ OpenGL Shading Language, applications can perform better, achieving │
│ stunning graphics effects by utilizing the capabilities of both the │
│ visual processing unit and the central processing unit. │
│ │
│ In this book, you will find a detailed introduction to the OpenGL Shading │
│ Language and the new OpenGL function calls that support it. The text │
│ begins by describing the syntax and semantics of this high-level │
│ programming language. Once this foundation has been established, the book │
│ explores the creation and manipulation of shaders using new OpenGL │
│ function calls. │
│ │
│ OpenGL(R) Shading Language, Second Edition, includes updated descriptions │
│ for the language and all the GLSL entry points added to OpenGL 2.0; new │
│ chapters that discuss lighting, shadows, and surface characteristics; and │
│ an under-the-hood look at the implementation of RealWorldz, the most │
│ ambitious GLSL application to date. The second edition also features 18 │
│ extensive new examples of shaders and their underlying algorithms, │
│ including │
│ * Image-based lighting │
│ * Lighting with spherical harmonics │
│ * Ambient occlusion │
│ * Shadow mapping │
│ * Volume shadows using deferred lighting │
│ * Ward's BRDF model │
│ The color plate section illustrates the power and sophistication of the │
│ OpenGL Shading Language. The API Function Reference at the end of the │
│ book is an excellent quick reference to the API entry points that support │
│ the OpenGL Shading Language. │
