RenderMonkey is a suite of open, extensible shader development tools for both current and future hardware that allows programmers and artists to collaborate on creating realtime shader effects. ATI showed these tools publicly for the first time at Siggraph 2002 in San Antonio, on the ATI booth and in a number of partner sessions. This a beta release of a DirectX 9.0 build (build 16). You must have the latest drivers from ATI's website and the DirectX 9.0 SDK.
