Quick question on GUIDs

Quick question on GUIDs

Keep the guid of the output parameter. There are several predefined guids
for that, depending on the type of parameter you are returning (color,
scalar, vector, etc...).

You input parameters will all need unique guid's (and it seems they all have
unique guids already). The "BEGIN ..." is also a fixed GUID. With the
"commands" statement you specify the small button to the right of the
parameter, the guid that is in your SPDL will display the small plug image
where you can directly link to other shaders. (Haven't really seen anything
different in that place so far).

Basically, I'd say that at least the GUID part of that shader spdl should
work.

I think the SPDL documentation in the docs is pretty good, btw.

Ciao, Daniel!
