Metaprogramming GPUs with Sh (Paperback, illustrated edition)

Shading, as part of the creation of realistic computer-generated images, is currently bringing major advances to computer graphics, with important practical applications in computer game design and animation. Shaders are a more sophisticated way of making 3D objects look more realistic. While most shaders are created using proprietary shading languages, Sh, a new open-source system, simplifies the shader programming process by making it part of the C++ language. This book introduces Sh and describes how to program a GPU using C++ to implement both basic and advanced shading techniques. Readers of this book will be able to start writing advanced, modular shaders using Sh within a day
