ShaderShaker2

Shader Shaker has been developed to solve our two main problems with shader development :

• The multiple languages our engine needs to support
• The combinational number of shader with the supported rendering technique

How it works

The architecture is simple :

1. The HLSL files are converted to an AST using a ANTLR parser.
2. The AST is then processed, cleaned and optimized.
3. Finally, a writer generates code.

How to build

Premake is used as project generator. To build the project, follow those steps :

cd src/hlsl_parser      # go to HLSL parser directory
./generate_parser.sh    # generate the HLSL parser (use .bat file for Windows systems)
premake gmake           # or any target you want to use ( vs2010, xcode4, ... )

You now have a valid project to build.
