FX Composer Shader Gallery

FX Composer ships with dozens of sample projects, performance tutorials, and more than 120 sample shaders.  Here are just a few we think developers will find most interesting.

	Bloom Highlights are "blown out" for a sexy, high-key look
	Dawn Subsurface Scattering Skin shader with extra controls to give a natural appearance -- the subsurface scattering and coloring of light is modeled using easy-to-manage controls
	Depth Gamma-corrected color ramping based on pixel depth
	Durer Engraving A 3D scene is rendered as if it were printed by engraved copperplate or silverpoint drawing
	Edge Detect An interactive 2D edge-detection technique applied to any FXComposer scene
	Fire Convincing bonfires made by combining layers of texture, noise, and pixel calculation
	Glass A refractive and diffractive glass head, set in a photographic image-based lighting environment
	Glowtrails on Gooch A character is lit with an engineering "gooch" style surface, and its animation is manipulated with a glowing trail effect
	Hammers White-hot, glowing animated hammers
	Hemispherical Lighting Sample from the Microsoft DirectX SDK, running perfectly in FX Composer
	Hot Lava A complex effect built from multiple programmable and natural textures (even, surprisingly, tree bark!)
	Mr. Wiggle A lighthearted vertex-animation effect that can turn any model into gelatin dessert
	Ocean Waves Vertex-based wave simulation combined with a pixel-shaded formula for the color of the water's surface
	Raytrace An entire small raytracing program, calculated entirely in pixel shaders!
	Real-Time Mandelbrot Calculated per-pixel, with interactive controls
	3D Paint By intercepting the camera matrix, pixel location and mouse position, an interactive 3D paint application can be written as a pair of surprisingly-short FX shaders
	Thin Film Optically-derived calculation of fresnel diffraction, as if a thin film of iridescent material coats the surface
	Tiles The image is decomposed in 2D into a mosaic of beveled floor tiles
	Vertex Noise Vertex processing provides realtime noise calculation based on interpolation of a small table, rather than a texture
	Wire Cage with Antialiasing A surface rendered as a 3D wire cage, complete with high-performance antialiasing
	Wood A take on the classic "wood" noise technique
