Make it Sparkle!

As you may know the NVIDIA guys go crazy for shader effects in games. This is because their monstrous graphics cards can process pixel and vertex shaders like they're going out of fashion!

As NVIDIA are sponsoring this contest, we are going to award extra points to your game if it appeals to their love of the digital bling. That is if it makes innovative use of shaders, or just uses them in a visually impressive way.

Shaders have a knack for scaring new developers, mostly due to their complex structure. But we've prepared a download for you containing a tutorial on how to use them, along with a few cool examples. This will be available in the November TGC Newsletter, so subscribe today!
