XNA 4.0 Shader Programming #6–Simple Ocean
Welcome back to my tutorial. Today, we are not going to learn anything new (almost), but instead put together a scene that uses some different shaders in order to see how powerful shaders can be. The island The island is … Continue reading

XNA Shader Programming – Tutorial 26, Bump Mapping Perlin Noise
This tutorial will continue from Tutorial 25, where we implemented a noise function. Now that you have the Perlin Noise-function in your shader, it is very simple to implement Bump Mapping. The object being rendered contains normals on each point … Continue reading

XNA Shader Programming – Tutorial 25, Perlin Noise using the GPU
This tutorial will intruduce you to procedural textures. If you ever want to generate textures procedurally, you probably stumble upon the Perlin Noise algorithm created by Ken Perlin in 1983. Why noise? If you are trying to model natural textures … Continue reading

Another approach for Tutorial 14, Transmittance
Matthew Vitelli provided me with another approach to the transmittance technique. What he is doing is to compute the transmission specially for each object. This would allow you to have specialized Du and C components for each object and also … Continue reading
