In fact, one of the reasons that shaders have finally made it into mainstream 3D computer graphics is the flexibility that they provide, which can finally be realized in real time on consumer grade hardware. Unfortunately, with power comes responsibility—the responsibility to understand how lighting and shading in computer graphics is traditionally done and how you can do it yourself (or do it differently) ...
