Interactive shader development
Peter Dahl Ejby Jensen, Nicholas Francis, Bent Dalgaard Larsen, Niels Jørgen Christensen · 2007

Programming shaders is no trivial task, and this has led to the introduction of graphical shader editor tools. Using these tools, shaders are authored by connecting nodes and building a shade tree.
