Effects files make perfect sense for tech demos. Those are supposed to be rather simple and short bits of code, just enough to show off something snazzy. Even if they still use them, that doesn't mean that effects files are something that should be incorporated into GLSL.
Agreed. I wasn't suggesting otherwise.Even if they still use them, that doesn't mean that effects files are something that should be incorporated into GLSL.
The DirectX SDK doesn't use effect files in it's D3D11 samples for sure; I can't speak for NVIDIA's reasons.Originally Posted by thokra
Except that's not cross-vendor.
mhagain: Last time I skimmed through tech demos by NVidia they were using effect files. Do you know if the big ones already abandoned them altogether by now? Just curious.
