 #### (Optional) Compiling Shaders
 
-Most users will not need to compile shaders as they are provided pre-compiled.  If you need to compile HLSL shaders for your own plugin, you will need to place slang in the .\external\slang_internal folder and xxd in the .\tools folder.  Then any *.hlsl files in the .\shaders folder will be compiled at build time.  Without these tools in place, the precompiled versions of the shaders in `_artifacts\shaders\` will be used, even if the source shaders are edited.
