## Overview

This repository is an Evergine shader-effects collection with a small sample application for viewing them. A user runs a Windows host, which configures a graphics API and drives the application; initialization loads the LightingTechniques scene. The shader assets cover lighting, reflections, geometry effects, and parallax techniques, with sample materials, textures, and scenes. The graph reflects the README’s documented shader capabilities and the supplied runtime code; shader-to-scene assignments beyond the explicit scene load are not inferred.

Main entry points: [`Shaders/Shaders/MyApplication.cs`](https://github.com/jcant0n/shaderlibrary/blob/main/Shaders/Shaders/MyApplication.cs) (Application), [`Shaders/Shaders/MyScene.cs`](https://github.com/jcant0n/shaderlibrary/blob/main/Shaders/Shaders/MyScene.cs) (Scene Setup), [`Shaders/Shaders.Windows/Program.cs`](https://github.com/jcant0n/shaderlibrary/blob/main/Shaders/Shaders.Windows/Program.cs) (DX11 Host), [`Shaders/Shaders.Windows.DirectX12/Program.cs`](https://github.com/jcant0n/shaderlibrary/blob/main/Shaders/Shaders.Windows.DirectX12/Program.cs) (DX12 Host)
