Mali GPU Shader Development Studio User Guide - ARM ...

The Shader Development StudioTo render using a different geometry, such as a torus:1. Click on the Shader Control view.The Shader Control view is displayed. See Figure 3-17:Figure 3-17 Shader Control viewNoteIf necessary, resize the Shader Control view to display the Scene Control group box.2. Select TORUS from the Geometry drop-down list box in the Scene Control box.The Shader Preview window is updated to show a torus with the shader effect renderedon its surface. See Figure 3-18:Figure 3-18 Torus geometryThe torus is a three-dimensional geometry, but it looks two-dimensional, see Figure 3-18.This is because the simple shader effect does not perform any lighting calculations, so noshadows are present to give depth cues.In the next section, an advanced shader example is used that implements lightingcalculations and shows the torus is a three-dimensional geometry.DUI0504C Copyright © 2009-2011 ARM.
