[Bf-committers] Google Summer of Code Idea

[Doug Ollivier]

I would personally like to see some crazy shaders.

Things which are not based so much on "physically correctness" but ones 
which are based on creativity and experimentation.  (developing a new 
art style)

For example toon shading was one of these breakthroughs when it first 
came out.

Sketch based rendering could be another (don't know if that is a shader, 
but I assume it may be).

I don't know if your shader would be able to automatically make rainbows 
possible, but perhaps that is an added feature... a particle shader 
effect that changes the colour based on refraction...
