Interactive multi-pass programmable shading
SIGGRAPH '00: Proceedings of the 27th annual conference on Computer graphics and interactive techniques

Programmable shading is a common technique for production animation, but interactive programmable shading is not yet widely available. We support interactive programmable shading on virtually any 3D graphics hardware using a scene graph library on top ...
A Language for Shading and Lighting Calculations
Seminal Graphics Papers: Pushing the Boundaries, Volume 2

A shading language provides a means to extend the shading and lighting formulae used by a rendering system. This paper discusses the design of a new shading language based on previous work of Cook and Perlin. This language has various types of shaders ...
Automatic shader level of detail
HWWS '03: Proceedings of the ACM SIGGRAPH/EUROGRAPHICS conference on Graphics hardware

Current graphics hardware can render procedurally shaded objects in real-time. However, due to resource and performance limitations, interactive shaders can not yet approach the complexity of shaders written for film production and software rendering, ...
