Float Texture Support & Shader model 3?

General Discussion
1

HI there,

Wondering, does Panda3D have support for float textures, shader model 3 and so on.

the main reason is that I’d like to render custom stuff more directly, bind buffers… etc is this access possible?

Yes, Panda3D supports high level shaders through the Cg shader language. There’s a fairly brief chapter in the main documentation.

Advanced rendering is possible using multiple render targets. Although I haven’t done any shader work in Panda3D itself, some good examples are the glow sample included in the Panda3D download and the recently posted nature demo.
