[REQ] Ability to include external shader code

[MSUdom5]

I'm sure we'll start to see shader libraries emerge. Might want to allow users to include external shader libraries in the IGS. Something like:

Code: Select all

<shader>
              <include>
                  <pathname>/path/to/external/isl/code.isl</pathname>
              </include>
              <shader>
                  <![CDATA[def eval(vec3 pos) vec3 : externalFunc(pos)]]>
               </shader>
 </shader>

you can include external material with shader

would be very useful!!!

Yep. Should be a musthave feature!
There could also be a shader-section in the MatDB
