CgFX Viewer
The CgFX Viewer is a standalone application for viewing and editing shaders. As a prototyping tool, it supports shaders built in the .fx format, and allows users to connect, edit, and tweak shaders. It currently supports files exported from 3ds max. It loads and renders .fx files in DirectX 8, DirectX 9, and OpenGL.
Please note that Version 1.1 of Cg is required to use the CgFX Viewer.
We have also included an exporter from 3ds max to the .nvb format, so that you can create your own models for the CgFX Viewer.
The installer includes source code for the viewer. Please read the accompanying readme.txt file for more details.
This installer includes:
- CgFX Viewer.exe
- CgFX Connection Editor
- Example files (.fx shaders and .dds textures)
- Documentation
