Description
Learn how to unlock the full potential of XAML programming with custom pixel shaders. This hands-on guide shows you how to write, compile, and test your own shaders using the Shazzam Shader Editor, a free utility developed by Walt Ritscher. You'll discover how shaders can extend the GPU's rendering capabilities, and explore different types of shaders such as color modification, blurring, and spatial transformation. The book includes XAML and C# sample code, and Shazzam contains all of the sample shaders discussed. With this book, you'll get up to speed on HLSL basics and learn how to create a variety of graphics effects. By mastering pixel shaders, you'll be able to examine the XAML ShaderEffect class, understand how WPF and Silverlight use shaders, and take advantage of shader-specific tools available in Visual Studio and Expression Blend.
