10. Diligent Engine : self equiped tool::HLSL to GLSL Source Converter

DirectX and OpenGL use different shading languages, which share a lot in common, but sometimes differ substantially. For cross-platform applications, maintaining two versions of each shader is time-consuming and error-prone. Diligent Engine uses HLSL2GLSL Converter that allows shader authored in HLSL to be converted into GLSL source. Since no intermediate representation is used, all tools available for HLSL shader development, analysis and optimization can be used directly, while GLSL source is automatically generated from HLSL shaders..

13. Diligent Engine: A Modern Cross-Platform Low-Level Graphics Library

This article describes Diligent Engine, a light-weight cross-platform graphics API abstraction layer that is designed to solve these problems. Its main goal is to take advantages of the next-generation APIs such as Direct3D12 and Vulkan, but at the same time provide support for older platforms via Direct3D11, OpenGL and OpenGLES..

Diligent solutions to rendering problems.

Diligent Engine is a lightweight cross-platform graphics API abstraction library. It is designed to take full advantage of Direct3D12, Vulkan and Metal, while supporting older platforms via Direct3D11, OpenGL and OpenGLES. Diligent Engine exposes common front-end API and uses HLSL as universal shading language on all platforms and rendering back-ends. Platform-specific shader representations (GLSL, DX bytecode or SPIRV) can be used with corresponding back-ends. The engine is intended to be used as graphics subsystem in a game engine or any other 3D application. Full source code is available on GitHub. It is distributed under Apache 2.0 license and is free to use.

HLSL vs. GLSL

20. Mapping between HLSL and GLSL

It’s 2016 and we’re still stuck with various shading languages - the current contenders being HLSL for Direct3D, and GLSL for OpenGL and as the “default” front-end language to generate SPIR-V for Vulkan. SPIR-V may become eventually the IL of choice for everything, but that will take a while, so right now, you need to convert HLSL to GLSL or vice versa if you want to target both APIs..

23. Thekla/hlslparser

HLSLParser This is a fork of Unknownworld's hlslparser adapted to our needs in The Witness. We currently use it to translate pseudo-HLSL shaders (using the legacy D3D9 syntax) to HLSL10 and Metal Shading Language (MSL). There's also a GLSL translator available that we do not use yet, but that is being maintained by community contributions.

The HLSL parser has been extended with many HLSL10 features, but retaining the original HLSL C-based syntax.

24. HLSL2GLSL

Note - this project development has moved to this site: http://code.google.com/p/hlsl2glslfork/ . The project is a good base and its fork (thlsl2glslfork) is used by OGRE and Unity3D for real-time Cg to GLSL conversion..

25. A Review of Shader Languages

A review of the state of the art in real time graphics shading languages and compilers. What are some of the differences between GLSL, HLSL, and Metal? What are some ways to transpile shaders?.

Shading languages are similar to each other, with minor differences in keywords, but different underlying designs philosophies such as the union of samplers and textures in GLSL, or the buffer attribute model of Metal. It's not too difficult to work around these differences though, and bridge the gap between HLSL, GLSL, and MSL.
