Never before have computer graphics practitioners, whether artists or programmers, had so much control over the real-time images they generate.Ĭg provides developers with a complete programming platform that is easy to use and enables the fast creation of special effects and real-time cinematic-quality experiences on multiple platforms. It marries programmatic control of these attributes with the incredible speed and capabilities of today's graphics processors. The Cg language makes it possible for you to control the shape, appearance, and motion of objects drawn using programmable graphics hardware.
