Abstract
A method and system for editing a shader. The method comprises providing a graph () corresponding to the shader (e.g. a shader graph). The graph () comprises a plurality of entities (), for example shader nodes, which are connected together by one or more edges (). One or more of the entities each include a respective variable parameter. The method further comprises sending, from an editor entity (-), to an entity () within the graph (), a message, the message specifying a change in a value of the variable parameter of that entity (); responsive to the entity () receiving the message, changing the variable parameter of that entity (), thereby providing a changed graph; and modifying the shader based on the changed graph.
