SL#

Full IDE support

With SL#, you write C# code - you get full IntelliSense and refactoring support
You get full compile-time support for type safety

From C# to GLSL

Translates your C#-generated CIL to GLSL objects
Obfuscates the GLSL code strings

Complex shader libraries

SL# allows you to easily write and reuse shaders.
Each SL# shader is a set of functions and globals that become compiled to one logical fragment and vertex shader.

Another shader accessing a library will be linked against it. The setup can be arbitrarily complex. SL# will guarantee that you will never end up with name clashes.

The image on the left displays the use of a Wang shader and a simplex noise shader. Both were implemented as libraries, which you can use straight from within your own shaders.
