Abstract
Systems, apparatuses and methods may provide for technology that computes, by a shader in a fixed-functionality hardware shader library, a physically based shading model for a type of material. Additionally, the shader may shade one or more surfaces associated with the type of material in accordance with the physically based shading model. In one example, two or more shaders in the shader library are dedicated to different types of materials.
