What would be a good read to properly get into creating shaders for horde? So far, I tried modifying the Horde material shaders, but I have a really hard time understanding them because I hardly know anything about the scripting language used in Horde3D (is it even GLSL?). Do you use special tools to design your shaders? |

Basic language is GLSL, but there are some custom section tags for providing information e.g. about used uniforms and default values. See also the Shaders section in the pipeline documentation. |

Im planning on buy OpenGL Shading Language book, but I have no former background education on graphics, so Im planning on buy something "extra" if you have any suggestions I will be glad to look on them. |

I think you won't go much far with the Orange Book and no knowledge of graphics. I suggest you first consult an introductory book on graphics first, or a least the Red Book for some GL knowledge. As Horde3D is quite shader oriented and low level it would be a good idea to at least know something about the graphics pipeline. |

I think for OpenGL introduction NeHe tuts are good, isn't? but like I know they are fixed function and I have also found 1 or 2 GLSL tuts out there. But for graphics I dont know of a good book or site out there? (Im looking prospects at amazon, later I will see what is on libraries near here, but I dont have high spectations, I will like to say that the books recommended at ogre site but I think they cover specific graphics algorithms not the broad picture). |
