| Microsoft DirectX 8.1 (Visual Basic) |
The VertexShader sample shows some effects that you can achieve using vertex shaders. Vertex shaders use a set of instructions, executed by the 3-D device on a per-vertex basis, that can affect the properties of the vertex—positions, normal, color, texture coordinates, and so on—in interesting ways.
Not all cards support all features for vertex shaders. For more information on vertex shaders, see Vertex Shaders.
