NVIDIA BUNDLES MENTAL IMAGES' SHADER CREATION TOOL

Through a graphic interface artists can develop, test and maintain shaders with realtime feedback - without the need for programming skills. Complex cooperating shader networks for generating photorealistic effects can be created without deploying dedicated shader programming expertise.
 
Mental Mill supports MetaSL, the universal meta shader language developed by Mental Images.  Using MetaSL, shaders are only created once independent of the target platforms and then compiled into highly efficient code for execution on general purpose CPUs as well as on GPUs or custom processors.
