HLSL Tutorials

The HLSL Workshop is a set of tutorials that make it easy to learn how to generate high-level shader language (HLSL) shaders. The tutorials offer a step-by-step approach to learning how to use vertex, pixel, and texture shaders in HLSL to create the following functionality:

• Goal 1 - Hemispheric Lighting Tutorial
• Goal 2: Vertex Animation Tutorial
• Goal 3 - Environment Mapping
• Goal 4 - Procedural Texture Tutorial

If you already have the right tools installed, you can also try the Goal 5 - Shader Debugging Tutorial. To see more about all the features of the debugger, see Shader Debugger.
