RenderMonkey is a suite of open, extensible shader development tools for both current and future hardware that allows programmers and artists to collaborate on creating realtime shader effects.

ATI showed these tools publicly for the first time at Siggraph 2002 in San Antonio, on the ATI booth and in a number of partner sessions.A Beta version of the RenderMonkey IDE is currently available for free download to anyone interested in working with programmable graphics shaders.
