How do you use multiple shaders in GLSL?
The simple answer is you change them between each draw call. Set a shader, draw a teapot, set another shader, draw another teapot. For more complex stuff where you need to apply multiple shaders to just one object such as blur, glow and so on. You basically have everything rendered to texture(s).
How to apply multiple effects in the same shader?
If you wish to apply two different effects to the same object (i.e. apply say a toon shader then some lighting) you can do it in two different ways. The first is to write a shader that applies multiple effects in the same function. The second way is to render the model once with each shader and blend the results by setting different blend options.
What should blend weight be for mixing two shaders?
Blend weight to use for mixing two shaders; at zero it uses the first shader entirely and at one the second shader. This node has no properties. Standard shader output.

Can a GLSL program be used in OpenGL?
Pixel based lighting is a common issue in many OpenGL applications, as the standard OpenGL lighting has very poor quality. I want to use a GLSL program to have per-pixel based lighting in my OpenGL program instead of per-vertex. Just Diffuse lighting, but with fog, texture and texture-alpha at least.
How is a for loop used in a shader?
The for loop will be familiar to those who have used C looping: We iterate over each light in our array of lights accumulating the results into the fragColor variable we’ve defined. The global component is used to initialize the variable, with the contribution of each light added to the result.
How to create GLSL arrays for multiple lights?
GLSL Arrays Each light we have defined (so far) is composed to 4 4-component vectors, ambient, diffuse and specular colour, along with the “position” (direction) vector. If we wanted to provide, for instance, 3 lights of this type, we *could* create 12 different uniform values, and set each of these uniforms individually.
