Ziel dieses Buches ist einerseits, Einblick in die Entwicklung von Shadern für aktuelle Spiele zu gewähren und die benötigten Grundlagen für einen Einstieg in die Shaderprogrammierung mit der High Level Shading Language(HLSL) zu liefern. Andererseits soll ein optisch ansprechender Hautshader, zur Verwendung in einem kommerziellen Computerspiel, entwickelt werden. Beide Ziele werden hierbei verknüpft, der Weg führt von einer Einführung in di...

Japanese has three major script types, kanji, hiragana, and katakana: kanji are a set of Chinese logographic scripts, and both hiragana and katakana are phonetic syllabaries.

One can forecast wave climate for availability of living treasures to avoid famines and for ship routing to avoid navigational disasters. Study of wave climate is helpful for planning and development of coastal areas, off-shore petroleum explorations, marine mining and marine engineering. Very little work has been done in the northern Arabian Sea. Availability of instrumentally measured waves around whole of the Arabian Sea is very limited. Ne...

From "To Generate the Free Brain:" We learn that Jetter has lost his "soul" before he has ever murdered, or at least, before he has ever murdered for the State.

Thus, we cannot determine whet...
