the cg tutorial book is available online (cg and hlsl are very similar) http://http.developer.nvidia.com/CgTutorial/cg_tutorial_chapter01.html 1. I think it's easier to go the c#/script route to get fundamentals, especially as all the "hard bits" about C/C++ the low level memory management and so on are removed from those…

Hi all, I have been using Maya's built-in Stingray PBS material and making shader graphs for almost a year now, and I thought I have a good handle on how it's done. But today I ran into a simple issue I couldn't figure out. Let's see some images first: What you just saw is a comparison of the same texture, using pretty…
