  2. OpenGL Shading Language - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpenGL_Shading_Language

    Shaders are written in OpenGL Shading Language and compiled. The compiled programs are executed on the GPU. OpenGL Shading Language (GLSL) is a high-level shading language with a syntax based on the C programming language. It was created by the OpenGL ARB (OpenGL Architecture Review Board) to give developers more direct control of the graphics ...

  3. OpenGL ES - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpenGL_ES

    Website. www.khronos.org /opengles. OpenGL for Embedded Systems (OpenGL ES or GLES) is a subset [2] of the OpenGL computer graphics rendering application programming interface (API) for rendering 2D and 3D computer graphics such as those used by video games, typically hardware-accelerated using a graphics processing unit (GPU).

  4. High-Level Shader Language - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High-Level_Shader_Language

    The High-Level Shader Language[1] or High-Level Shading Language[2] (HLSL) is a proprietary shading language developed by Microsoft for the Direct3D 9 API to augment the shader assembly language, and went on to become the required shading language for the unified shader model of Direct3D 10 and higher. HLSL is analogous to the GLSL shading ...

  5. Shader - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shader

    Shaders are simple programs that describe the traits of either a vertex or a pixel. Vertex shaders describe the attributes (position, texture coordinates, colors, etc.) of a vertex, while pixel shaders describe the traits (color, z-depth and alpha value) of a pixel. A vertex shader is called for each vertex in a primitive (possibly after ...

  6. Physically based rendering - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Physically_based_rendering

    Physically based rendering (PBR) is a computer graphics approach that seeks to render images in a way that models the lights and surfaces with optics in the real world. It is often referred to as "Physically Based Lighting" or "Physically Based Shading". Many PBR pipelines aim to achieve photorealism. Feasible and quick approximations of the ...

  7. Cg (programming language) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cg_(programming_language)

    Cg (short for C for Graphics) and High-Level Shader Language (HLSL) are two names given to a high-level shading language developed by Nvidia and Microsoft for programming shaders. Cg/HLSL is based on the C programming language and although they share the same core syntax, some features of C were modified and new data types were added to make Cg ...

  8. WebGL - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WebGL

    HTML. WebGL (short for Web Graphics Library) is a JavaScript API for rendering interactive 2D and 3D graphics within any compatible web browser without the use of plug-ins. [2] WebGL is fully integrated with other web standards, allowing GPU -accelerated usage of physics, image processing, and effects in the HTML canvas.

  9. Shading language - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shading_language

    DirectX High-Level Shader Language. The High-Level Shading Language (HLSL) is a C-style shader language for DirectX 9 and higher and Xbox game consoles. It is related to Nvidia's Cg, but is only supported by DirectX and Xbox. HLSL programs are compiled into bytecode equivalent of DirectX shader assembly language.
