SMARTSHADER
TM
SMARTSHADER technology incorporates major
advances in the area of Pixel Shaders, which are
small programs that execute on every pixel
rendered to the display device. With support for
up to six textures in a single rendering pass, the
memory bandwidth constraints associated with
multi-pass rendering can be greatly reduced,
which translates into better rendering
performance. By doubling the maximum allowable
length of the shader programs, more complex
effects can be created to accurately model the
visual properties of materials and surfaces,
including hair, skin, wood, and water.
All settings
The All Settings page combines all of the
principal 3D features onto a single page,
without any preview window, allowing for
quick access and adjustment. You can change
the settings for the following 3D features as
you normally would on each feature's own
page:
• Anti-aliasing
• Anisotropic filtering
• Texture preference
• Mipmap detail level
• Wait for display refresh
• SmartShader

effects
This page is useful when it is not necessary to
preview the adjusted settings because the
effect is already known or understood.
