ShaderTool

Here it is - a modern, node-based DirectX and OpenGL shader authoring tool with an integrated code editor for pure shader development - both, for programmers and artists!

Shader development becomes more and more popular and important for everybody creating games or for graphics programmers in general. Although, until now it was really hard to find modern shader IDEs that support the newest GLSL and HLSL shader models. Everybody knows the popular FX Composer or the RenderMonkey - sadly, both are not maintained anymore for a long time.

But now a new shader IDE has arrived - ShaderTool. A tool with which you are able to write shaders by hand as you usually would do and use the integrated node-based system to further create complex state of the art shader combinations. Have a look at the below video to see what ShaderTool is capable of.
