In the context of videogame development what are shaders? I just can’t wrap my head around the concept.
In: Technology
The picture you see is made of triangles. Each of those triangles has a texture on it, like a picture sticker. As the triangle rotates, the shape you see changes from a fat triangle to a thin sliver it you look at it almost edge on. A shader is a processor in a GPU that does the matrix algebra to figure out that apparent shape and them map the texture into the pixels you see on the screen.
