HLSLDecompiler

Translate dxbc to hlsl source code. You can use it alone, or as a renderdoc shader processing tool to decompile shader. Although the decompiled result looks very like the disassembly, you can edit the decompiled source code and refresh to see the change in Renderdoc. It's very useful while learning and analyzing rendering techniques in games if you don't have source code.

How to integrate into renderdoc

  1. Put hlsl_decompiler_wrapper.bat and cmd_Decompiler.exe in the same directory

  2. Renderdoc -> Tools -> Settings -> Shader Viewer -> Add
