Warning! This utility might damage your shaders!
Details: Oblivion shaders always contain CTAB (Constant TABles) which are used by the engine. If you disassemble and re-assemble the shader's code then resulting shader differs from the original. As a result some variables might be unbound resulting in ex. missing water animation or other similar problems.

Misc Shader Tools[edit | edit source]

Microsoft[edit | edit source]

Microsoft Game-writing tutorial - The german version is much better, with video tutorials and lots of shader coverage and a real worthy introduction to Agile development (De).

XNA - Microsoft's free and fully featured game development system, should be able to develop shaders.

DirectX SDK - Contains the DirectX Shader Compiler that creates the needed binary vso/pso files from HLSL or Assembler files.

Visual C++ Express Edition - The must-have IDE for free Windows programming.


NVIDIA[edit | edit source]

NVIDIA 3D Tools - Home of NVIDIA's vast archive of game development tools.

NVIDIA FX Composer - Shader development IDE for the HLSL, with preview and lots of useful tools.

NVIDIA SDK - Huge collection of examples, also shaders.
