Shaders

[Trey Tomes]

I just happened upon this tool while doing some reading today:

http://developer.nvidia.com/object/fx_composer_home.html

The NVidia FX Composer looks like a completely awesome tool for creating shaders, and it's completely compatible with the DirectX shader format used by XNA.

There is a PDF tutorial on the website, plus a tutorial here: http://fourrivers.innerweaver.com/shaders-tutorial-part-2

I'm still going through these documents, but this looks like it could be really useful.

Oh, and the tool is free... :-D
