Using Built-in Render Shaders

Below is a complete list of all the HOOPS Luminate render shaders. All of them are children of the base RED::RenderShader class and can be added in a material pass.

Shader name	Description	Snapshot
Ray-Tracer Setup Shaders
Reflection / Refraction Ray Deviation Shaders: RED::RayReflectionShader RED::RayRefractionShader	Engine shaders that define the direction of reflection and refraction vectors at the interface with a surface.
GI Specification Shaders: RED::RayGIDiffuseShader RED::RayGIReflectionColorShader RED::RayGIRefractionColorShader	Engine shaders that defines the diffuse property, reflectivity and refractivity of a material for global illumination processing.
Performance Shader: RED::RayCutoffShader	Engine shaders that defines the threshold below which we can ignore a lighting or ray-tracing contribution and therefore save time.
Reflection Blending Shader: RED::ReflectionShader	Adds the contribution of ray-traced reflections to an image. Supports specular and reflectivity maps. Supports Fresnel based reflectance models.
Pre-Lighting Shaders
Ambient Shader: RED::RenderShaderAmbient	Implements a simple ambient and / or emissive lighting term. Supports ambient, emissive, transparency and base modulation maps. This shader reacts to the ambient light defined for the rendered scene.
Refraction Effect Shader: RED::RenderShaderRefractionEffect	This is a real-time rendering shader that fakes the refractions in real-time 3D applications.
Solid Shader: RED::RenderShaderSolid	Implements a simple color / texture rendering. Supports color and transparency maps.
Vertex Color Shader: RED::RenderShaderVertexColor	Implements a per vertex shading color.
Lighting Shaders
Lambert Shader: RED::RenderShaderLambert	Implements a Lambertian lighting equation, using only a diffuse term contribution. Supports diffuse, bump and transparency maps.
Phong Shader: RED::RenderShaderPhong	Implements the Phong lighting equation, featuring round specular highlights. Supports diffuse, bump, shininess, specular and transparency maps.
Anisotropic Shader: RED::RenderShaderAnisotropic	Implements an anisotropic lighting model, with stretched specular highlights. Supports diffuse, bump, shininess, specular, transparency, anisotropy and orientation maps.
Post-Lighting Shaders
Environmental Shader: RED::RenderShaderEnvironmental	Implements environmental mapping. Supports specular, reflectivity and bump maps. Supports Fresnel based reflectance model and can use auto-generated environment maps from the engine.
Miscellaneous Shaders
Anti-Aliasing Filter Shader: RED::RenderShaderAAFilter	Post-processing shader for anti-aliasing purposes. Uses Sobel kernel filters applied to the image.
Edge Display Shader: RED::RenderShaderEdges	Displays inner edges, border edges and contour edges. Supports manifold / non manifold topologies.
Section Cutting Shader: RED::RenderShaderSectionCut	Special shader used to display a mesh cut with a plane. See the Cutting Geometries: A Practical Example tutorial to have details about this shader
Text Shader: RED::RenderShaderText	This shader displays a special kind of HOOPS Luminate texts, known as the ‘textured texts’.
High Performance Viewport Shader: RED::RenderShaderViewport	Fast viewport display shader. Displays meshes and / or edges, including per vertex sub-entity colors and a highlighting mechanism.
Logo / Decal Blending Shader: RED::RenderShaderLogo	This simple pre-lighting shader displays a list of decal texture on a geometry.
