Pixel vs. Vertex Shaders
• Definition (wikipedia):
“3D hardware previously used fixed-function pipelines in which, for
example, one was stuck with the lighting model chosen by the
hardware vendor. Graphics hardware was able to do transformation
and lighting (T&L for short) on the card, but it was not flexible. A
vertex shader sidesteps the T&L stage in the pipeline and lets the
user add on to it.
Pixel shaders operate after the geometry pipeline and before final
rasterization. They operate in parallel with multitexturing to produce
a final pixel color and z-value for the final, rasterization step in the
graphics pipeline (where alpha blending and depth testing occur).”
Shader Languages
• Different Standards:
Nvidia: Cg
OpenGL: GL2
ATI: HSLS (DirectX 9)
Provide high level language for assembler-based
shading code. Use optimized (JIT) compilers to
transform to highly efficient machine code.
Winner yet undecided.
Example Shaders

• Why Cg?

Open source compiler
Works with OpenGL & DirectX
C-like language
can be used for multiple GPUs/Platforms
Small Example (Cg) II
The program transforms an object-space position for a vertex by a 4x4 matrix
containing the concatenation of the modeling, viewing, and projection
transforms. The resulting vector is output as the clip-space position of the
vertex. The per-vertex color is scaled by a floating-point parameter prior to
output. Also, two texture coordinate sets are passed through unperturbed.
void simpleTransform(float4 objectPosition : POSITION, float4 color : COLOR,
float4 decalCoord : TEXCOORD0, float4 lightMapCoord : TEXCOORD1,
out float4 clipPosition : POSITION, out float4 oColor : COLOR,
out float4 oDecalCoord : TEXCOORD0, out float4 oLightMapCoord : TEXCOORD1,
uniform float brightness, uniform float4x4 modelViewProjection)
{
clipPosition = mul(modelViewProjection, objectPosition);
oColor = brightness * color;
oDecalCoord = decalCoord;
oLightMapCoord = lightMapCoord;
}
