Vertex Shading in Opengl
Author
Hi I was just wondering if there are any good tutorials on implementing vertex/pixel shaders in opengl. Thanks
The ATI and NVIDIA developer sections should have info on those.

Thanks for the reply, i was looking through these and i noticed that they have different syntax for doing it. For instance from ati:
glShaderOp2EXT( GL_OP_ADD_EXT, halfwayVector, viewDirection, lightDirection);
glShaderOp2EXT( GL_OP_DOT3_EXT, factor, halfwayVector, halfwayVector);
glShaderOp1EXT( GL_OP_RECIP_SQRT_EXT, factor, factor);
glShaderOp2EXT( GL_OP_MUL_EXT, halfwayVector, factor, halfwayVector);
and from nvida's site:
DP3 R1.x, c[32], R0;
DP3 R1.y, c[33], R0;
MOV R1.w, c[38].x;
It means the same thing, but i'm kinda confussed as to which way is the standard. Is one specifed to the ATI Cards or will either method work? thanks for your help

NV_vertex_program and EXT_vertex_shader are sort of legacy extensions: ATI supports EXT_vertex_shader but not NV_vertex_program and it's the opposite for NVidia.
Look into ARB_vertex_program. Both ATI and NVidia will support it on their boards and it's just as powerful as the other two extensions

Thanks DannerGL, thats exactly what i was looking for. It was just confusing to see several different processes of doing the same thing. I''ll look into the ARB_vertex_program. I''ve been playing around with this OpenGL Shader Builder on my Mac at work and i''ve written a simple diffuse lighting model....it''s great fun. thanks again for your help.
