Abstract
This paper addresses some current problems associated with the development of computer graphics technologies. We propose a possible solution based on the use of object shaders for the further evolution of the graphics pipeline technology. The visualization problem is formalized to generate a set of procedures (object shaders) that implement a programmable pipeline.
