OGL13CubicTexture

This node sets 6 images as an OpenGL cubic texture. You can select which texture target these images will be bound to.

Good example if using images and shader instance data

OGL13Draw

This node draws the geometry to OpenGL. It also controls depth tests, culling and blending.

Good example of drawing objects on the screen

OGL13Shade

This node sets the OpenGL material. You can set a simple material ambient, diffuse and specular color as well as specular decay.

Good example of using color widgets

OGL13Texture

This node sets an image as an OpenGL texture. You can select which texture target this image will be bound to.

Good example of using images and shader instance data

OGL13TexCoord

This node let's you specify texture wrapping/clamping/mirroring, texture coordinate transformations and automatic texture coordinate generation.

CgColor

This node sets a color as a Cg program uniform parameter

Good example of using color widgets

CgFX

This node provides support for nVIDIA’s CgFX file format, Microsoft’s FX file format, and COLLADA’s FX file format with the Cg profile.

CgLightTracker

This node tracks lights parameters values such as position, direction, diffuse color and interest, and sets them in uniform parameters.

CgMatrix

This node sets a matrix as a Cg program uniform parameter

CgProgram

This node builds and compiles a Cg program. The Cg program node currently supports the following profiles:

• ARB vertex shader

• ARB fragment shader

• NV30 vertex shader

• NV30 fragment shader

• NV20 vertex shader

• NV20 fragment shader

Make sure your hardware properly supports the right profiles.
