I'm pleased to announce the release of ISL Previewer v0.1 BETA. This application provides Indigo artists with a development for developing shaders using Indigo Shading Language (ISL). Shaders are textures which are defined procedurally as opposed to being defined by an image. In other words, textures are defined mathematically instead of sampling pixel information from an image. The ISL Previewer application provides a realtime preview of the shader, giving the artist an efficient method of "trial and error" development. Once the artist is satisfied with the preview, the shader can be used in indigo materials.

This is the first release of ISL Previewer, and there are likely to be bugs and compatibility problems on different graphics hardware. Please post problems in the forum, and include as much detailed information about the problem as possible. Also, feel free to post feature suggestions for future versions.
