ABSTRACT
Programmable shading in real time has been an ultimate goal of graphical applications since the introduction of RenderMan™. The research described in this paper focuses on an extension to X3D to allow for real time programmable shading. We describe a new Programmable Shaders component for X3D in detail as well as a set of tools that can be used for authoring.This paper reflects the work undertaken by the Web3D Consortium's X3D Programmable Shades Working Group and incorporates the most recent results of the group's discussion. The design has been implemented and demonstrated in prototype form in two X3D browsers.

A modern declarative surface shader for X3D
Web3D '10: Proceedings of the 15th International Conference on Web 3D TechnologyThis paper introduces a modern, declarative surface shader for the X3D standard that allows for a compact, expressive, and implementation-independent specification of surface appearance. X3D's Material node is portable, but its feature set has become ...
Web based molecular visualization using procedural shaders in X3D
SIGGRAPH '05: ACM SIGGRAPH 2005 Web programThe introduction of programmable Graphics Processing Units (GPUs) and the addition of procedural shaders to the web3D standard X3D provide us with new techniques to develop real-time Web based visualization. In this paper we discuss the applications of ...
Interactive multi-pass programmable shading
SIGGRAPH '00: Proceedings of the 27th annual conference on Computer graphics and interactive techniquesProgrammable shading is a common technique for production animation, but interactive programmable shading is not yet widely available.
