How-To: In this lesson we will learn how to use ASHLI shaders and FX files inside of Maya.
ASHLI shaders utilize the graphics card for processing the shader and lighting information in real-time. ASHLI shaders are useful tools for speeding up your pre-visualization, game model testing, or real-time rendering workflows.
Topics covered in this tutorial: Loading the ASHLI Shader plug-in; Viewing ASHLI shaders and loading preset FX files into them; Adjusting the Extra Attributes generated by the shader. To learn more about Maya, check out
