Realtime Shaders

Realtime shaders allow you to build and control the realtime rendering pipeline by connecting nodes in the render tree. You can use realtime shaders to achieve a multitude of sophisticated rendering effects in Autodesk® Softimage®, from basic surface shading to complex texture blending and reflection.
