Effect File Format

This section contains reference information for the effect file format. An effect file consists of a set of parameter declarations, followed by descriptions of various techniques.

Technique descriptions have the following syntax. Remember that id must be a valid FourCC code. For information on FourCC codes, see Four-Character Codes (FOURCC).

{type} {id};
{type} {id} = {const};

TECHNIQUE {id} 
{ 
    PASS {id} 
    {
        {state}      = {const};
        {state}[{n}] = {const};
        {state}      = <{id}>;
        {state}[{n}] = <{id}>;
    }
}
