HLSL

HLSL (High-Level Shading Language) is a programming language used by developers to create shader programs that run on graphics hardware. These shaders control how objects, lighting, and textures appear in computer graphics, especially in video games and simulations. HLSL allows for efficient, real-time manipulation of visual effects by writing code that tells the GPU how to process and render images creatively and realistically. Think of it as a specialized language that bridges the gap between artistic vision and the technical process of generating immersive, high-quality graphics.
