This shard creates a feature object based on what was provided in the different parameters.

Details

A Feature can be thought of as an extension or plugin to the rendering logic.

A Feature may have various components:

• Blend State (Alpha, Additive, ...)
• Depth Testing
• Vertex/Fragment shaders

For a more extensive description about shaders, see Shaders.

Features can be used in various locations: - Attached to a GFX.DrawablePass - Attached to a GFX.EffectPass
