What Is a Shader? Since the main premise of this effect is going to be a shader, we’ll start with explaining what a shader is. A shader is a script where you write code that determines how the colors will be rendered based on various scenarios like lighting and material configuration.

About shaders. For most game developers, shaders are this scary monster that presents itself with such a complexity that it seems out of reach. In reality, shaders are quite simple by default and just get more complex the more you add to them. The following OpenGL code sends the sprite to the shader for drawing: OpenGL Commands.

We've had toon shaders for years that can make 3D look like 2D, but Team Red has perfected it to such a degree that I sometimes can't even tell I'm looking at 3D. The Potemkin model on the left is a development shot of what he looks like without any shaders. He actually has 5 or 6 feet modeled to make that effect possible.
