Shaders are one of the newest ways to give 3D applications that extra polished look. Shader code, which is processed directly on the graphics card, provide a graphical quality that until today was only imagineable in pre-rendered movies, and this development has only just begun. Shader programming will be the key technology in terms of high-quality, photorealistic realtime rendering.
