Ogre 3D 1.7

Time for action — our first shader application

Let's write our first vertex and fragment shaders:

1. In our application, we only need to change the used material. Change it to MyMaterial13. Also remove the second quad:

   manual->begin("MyMaterial13", RenderOperation::OT_TRIANGLE_LIST);
   

2. Now we need to create this material in our material file. First, we are going to define the fragment shader. Ogre 3D needs five pieces of information about the shader:
   • The name of the shader
   • In which language it is written
   • In which source file it is stored
   • How the main function of this shader is called
   • In what profile we want the shader to be compiled
3. All this information should be in the material file:

   fragment_program MyFragmentShader1 cg { source Ogre3DBeginnersGuideShaders.cg ...
