ATi RenderMonkey 1.5.424

Publisher's Description:

ATi RenderMonkey is a suite of open, extensible shader development tools for both current and future hardware that allows programmers and artists to collaborate on creating realtime shader effects.

Latest Changes:

• Improved docking window support and support for generic docking window layout
• Addition of an application preference page for plug-ins which gets saved automatically in the application registry file between application executions
• The application window state is now saved with each workspace which allows window positions and sizing to be persistent for each user
• Unicode support
• Improved Microsoft FX file exporter
• Support for Microsoft X meshes for both OpenGL and DirectX workspaces
• Added ability to package up opened workspaces into a single zip file containing all of the relevant textures and model files
• Ability to drag and drop an RFX file from Windows Explorer onto the opened RenderMonkey application to open the workspace stored in that file
• Procedural geometry and texture generation via "Generate" menu
• Texture preview thumbnails
• Renderable texture preview via different options for both OpenGL and DirectX effect rendering
• Predefined variables use semantics, rather than direct names, for identification by the program
