shader graph

[Crisium]

Hi all,

Does anyone know of any software that can create a shader graph and combine it to a final shader code?
Doesn't have to be visual (but that would be cool).

anyone,
Peter

PS: If you don't understand my question.. say so.. and I'll go into more detail.

Did my master thesis on shader graph development tools 2 or 3 years ago, havent dealt with them since, so im very curious as to where these tools are today. This also means Im not of much help... sorry.
I only know of the old fashioned RenderMonkey and FXComposer (which both were text based, dont know if they have gone graphical since).

Butt usually such a tool would deliver sourcecode to you, like HLSL, Cg or GLSL.
What is the shader library you are using?

Btw. I saw a shader graph tool plugin for 3dsmax once, looked rather cool, but it only delivered HLSL code. Damnit, cant remember its name now! :(

Update: It might have been mental mill i saw, im no longer sure.

Hi Henning,

The shader graph tool plugin for 3dsmax is very cool too, I saw this a couple of years ago. But I can't remember
the company that made it nor can I remember the name of the tool.

We are developing shaders in OpenGL
