Is very hard for a 17 years old boy to learn about shaders?

I printed a tutorial about it, and i only see matrices, structures and random numbers and functions that i dunno about.

What's the difference between 3DGS .fx and the standard .fx HLSL?


Thanks.

There's a great tutorial about shaders from the tutorial contest:

Very small difference. I just turned 17 a month ago, but I learned HLSL about 4 months ago, if not more...

It's not that hard, you just have to want to learn it.

I need to practice the time i need lol.

If i could i would know everything related to programation, but time is few

Next week i'll do 4 exams, math, phisic & quimics, Sociology and psicology.

the tutorial sebe mentioned is a really good starter. i used it yesterday and i'm really starting to get the hang of shaders now... once u do the tutorial, look at hlsl shaders on the wiki and just try and read what they're doing (the comments help), and look up any terms or functions you don't know on msdn.
