Direct3D HLSL Programming using RenderMonkey IDE

Veined Marble Shader
• Based on the marble RenderMan shader
developed by Larry Gritz
• Designed to emulate marble material
– Marble is formed from turbulent mixing of different bands
of rock
• Creates solid marble texturing with distinct veins
– Traditional approaches generate noise on CPU
– This example uses volume texture for noise generation for
faster results
