This feature, excerpted from Wolfgang Engel's ShaderX book from Wordware
Publishing, presents a simple shader trick that performs a good per pixel
approximation of a non-integer power function. The technique works for input
values between 0 and 1 and supports large exponents. The presented shader does
not require any texture look-up and is scalable, making it possible to spend
more instructions in order to decrease the error or to reach greater exponents.

Ubi China had always wanted to make a PC game for the local market, but a

to motivate Ubi China to try a local project finally arrived: the license for
"Music Up", a popular animated property.
