checkerShader/checkerShader.cpp
//
// DESCRIPTION: A simple example of a programmable checker texture.
//
// This example produces a dependency graph node CheckerNode.
//
// This node is an example of evaluating texture UV coordinates and producing
// a checkerboard pattern. It also can take advantage of the 2d texture placement
// node for transforming UV coordinates with a manipulator.
//
// Inputs:
//
// BiasU, BiasV: Control for the center of the checker.
// Color1, Color2: the 2 colors for the checker.
// UV: UV coordinates that are being evaluated.
//
// Output:
//
// outColor: the result color.
// It is a 3 float value that represents the resulting color derived from the
// object's UV texture coordinates.
//
// Before using the shader, enter the following commands:
//
// shadingNode -asTexture checkerTexture;
// shadingNode -asUtility place2dTexture;
// connectAttr place2dTexture1.outUV checkerTexture1.uvCoord;
//
// You can now connect the outColor output to an input of a surface/shader node
// such as Color.
//
// The plugin assumes that the devkit location follows "Setting up your build
// environment" at Maya Developer Help; otherwise, shaders/textures cannot be
// located. In this case create a mod (module description file) as below in a
// suitable modules folder (getenv "MAYA_MODULE_PATH") and restart Maya.
