HLSL2GLSL is acommand line tool and a library that translatesshaders written inHigh Level Shader Language (HLSL) forDirect3D 9 into theOpenGL Shading Language (GLSL).[2]
HLSL2GLSL was originally released byATI Technologies under aBSD License. The last release was v0.9 from 2006. HLSL2GLSL is not part ofGPUOpen.
The project was forked in 2010 to fix issues and add features like OpenGL ES support.[3] It is now used byUnity[4] andOGRE to translate Cg/HLSL shaders into GLSL for mobile platforms.[5]
The project has been criticized for generating low-quality, bloated code. At the XDC2014, Matt Turner pointed out that many benchmark examples in Mesa'sshader-db are generated by conversion and of poor quality.[6]
