Abstract

In real-time computer graphics algorithms are often implemented using shaders. Even simple e ects possibly comprise several shader les. Advanced material-light interactions are often accompanied by level-of-detail and occlusion optimizations, therefore, graphics developers have to cope with various shader les often including duplicate shader code. Furthermore the algorithms are forced to be divided into per-stage procedures, which also contributes to the complexity of shader programming. Based on existing research a framework in OpenGL should be implemented to facilitate shader development. Furthermore basic means for outputting intermediate computation results should be provided to enhance debugging capabilities.
