The Shader Development Studio3.1 Opening the Shader Development Studio perspectiveThe Shader Development Studio software comes with a pre-built Eclipse perspective that canbe used to start developing shaders for the Mali GPUs.To open the Shader Development Studio perspective from Eclipse:1. Start Eclipse.2. Select Window → Open Perspective → Other ....The Open Perspective dialog box is displayed.3. Click Shader Development Studio in the Open Perspective dialog box.4. Click OK.The Shader Development Studio perspective is loaded. See Figure 3-1:Figure 3-1 Shader Development Studio perspectiveThe views of the perspective can be moved and resized, docked and undocked, ordismissed altogether if they are not required.To open individual views, select Window → Show View and select the view you require.For more information about the views provided by the Shader Development Studio, seeViews on page 4-8.DUI0504C Copyright © 2009-2011 ARM.

The Shader Development Studio3.2 Creating a new Shader effectThis section describes how to use the Shader Development Studio to create a new shader effect.A shader effect is a collection of vertex and fragment shaders that make up a single shaderprogram that can be rendered on a target. A project can have multiple shader effects, each ofthese can share shader source files. The shader effects are contained in and managed by a ShaderConfiguration File. A project can only have one shader configuration file, that must exist at theroot level of the project.3.2.1 Creating a new Vertex and Fragment ShaderTo create a new shader effect, you must create the source files that comprise the effect and thenadd the source files to a project.The Shader Development Studio works with any kind of project that can be created in Eclipseincluding a Java Project and a C Project. Eclipse provides wizards for creating these projects,and the Shader Development Studio provides wizards to guide you through the creation ofshader-specific resources. For more information about the wizards provided by the ShaderDevelopment Studio, see Wizards on page 4-5.For example, to create a new Java project with a Vertex Shader and Fragment Shader:1. Select File → New → Project ...The New Project dialog box is displayed. See Figure 3-2:Figure 3-2 New Project dialog box2. Click Java Project.3. Click Next.The New Java Project - Create a Java project dialog box is displayed.4. Enter a name for the project. For example, SimpleTest.5. Click Next.The New Java Project - Java Settings dialog box is displayed.6. Click Finish.DUI0504C Copyright © 2009-2011 ARM. All rights reserved. 3-3ID011412Non-Confidential - Beta
