Detailed Description

A class that specifies a kind of Shader.

The type specified here is used to determine the kinds of operations that a shader can perform, as well as how it may be structured (inputs/outputs).

Member Enumeration Documentation

enum om::graphics::materials::ShaderType::Enum

An enum type which represents the type for a shader.

Enumerator
UNDEFINED	An undefined shader type.
VERTEX	A shader that handles processing of individual vertices. This allows transformations and other operations to be performed on a per-vertex basis.
FRAGMENT	A shader that is executed for each output fragment (pixel) for a primitive. This allows shading and other operations to be performed on a per-pixel basis. The output of the fragment shader is the final color value sent to the render target.
GEOMETRY	A shader that takes an input primitive (i.e. triangles) and outputs 0 or more output primitives. This allows things like geometry instancing.
TESSELLATION	A shader that tessellates primitives into smaller primitives. This allows additional geometric complexity to be generated in the shader.
