More Shader's Effect


Shader is useful to change the game to have darker or brighter screens. It also helps the developer to control the colour mixtures and intensity. It means that the game can be developed to a variety of weather and environment such as cyber world or cloudy weather.

This shader effect is very useful and available to be applied in the future game development. The shader file is a file with an extension .fx so that not only programmers can edit it; artist or designers also can be assigned to change and edit the code. In fact, Nvidia Corp. provides a tool named FX Composer to easily create or edit shader files. They even provides with some shaders template that can freely used or manipulated and it support many formats such as DirectX and OpenGL, HLSL, COLLADA FX, and CgFX, as well as .fbx, .x, .3ds, .obj, and .dae
