NVIDIA Introduces "Cg" -- C For Graphics
NVIDIA Ushers in a New Era in Graphics with its Advanced Compiler for the Cg Language
NVIDIA Cg Compiler and Cg Language Universally Embraced by the Graphics Community
Testimonials Video
Much more stuff at CgShaders.org

New Language Standard Will Radically Simplify Graphics Programming and Drive Convergence of Cinematic and Real-Time Rendering So what's all that about, then ?
Well :
“Cg is a high level programming language that enables content developers to create cinematic-quality real-time graphics easier and faster. Developed in close collaboration with Microsoft® Corporation (Nasdaq: MSFT), Cg gives developers a new level of abstraction, removing the need for them to program directly to the graphics hardware. The common, familiar C-like syntax enables rapid development of stunning, real-time shaders and visual effects for graphics platforms, and is compatible with Microsoft’s recently announced High Level Shading Language (PowerPoint presentations) for DirectX® 9.0”

Jeff Mottle of CGarchitect has reviewed Digital Element's Aurora 1.0.
“Overall I was very impressed with the power of this plugin, and as I eluded to earlier the cloud FX type in particular. For high resolution renders it can be quite a challenge to get a sky that is both large enough and meets the look and overall feel of your rendering. With Aurora this is no longer an issue as you can render out whatever resolution you require using a myriad of settings to achive th exact look you are after. The only complaints I would have is the missing ability to automate the procedure of getting animated keyframes from the plugin and I would also have liked to see the ability to easily create large cloud maps that are tileable end to end for use on skydomes. With a bit of fiddling you can modify your output so that no clouds extend out of frame, thus creating a tileable maps, but actual tileable clouds would be a nice touch.”
