What are some examples of OpenGL shaders?

OpenGL shaders are programs that run on the GPU. Common examples include vertex shaders, fragment shaders, and geometry shaders.

Can you explain what a vertex shader does?

A vertex shader processes each vertex's data, transforming its position and passing attributes to the next stage in the pipeline.

What about fragment shaders?

Fragment shaders compute the color and other attributes of each pixel. They determine how the final image appears on the screen.

Do you have any simple examples of shader code?

Sure! A simple vertex shader might look like this: #version 330 core layout(location = 0) in vec3 position; void main() { gl_Position = vec4(position, 1.0); }.

How can I learn more about writing shaders?

You can start with online tutorials, documentation, and resources like the OpenGL Shading Language (GLSL) specification.
