Understanding Pixel and Vertex Shaders By Matthew Christian (Matt@InsideGamer.org) In this quick article Im going to describe the difference between a vertex and a pixel shader and what they can be used for in game programming. Theyre both extremely useful for acheiving higher-end graphics and come into play when you start learning about HLSL (High-Level Shading Language) and the programmable pipeline. Lets start with vertex shaders. Note: It is assumed you have some slight knowledge of programming techniques and or experience. No code is used in this article but some basic informa
