SMARTSHADER Scripts and Plug-In
As the interview with Maurice and Roger mentioned ATI are now providing the facility for end users to create their own OpenGL SMARTSHADER effects via scripting and a SMARTSHADER effects plug-in tool in order to view them. With the plug-in tool a variety of examples of shaders come available.
To create your own effects you will need the SMARTSHADER plug-in tool, and directions for scripting you own shader effects, both of which can be downloaded here:

Update:
Some settings have changed in newer drivers (Catalyst 4.3) and a new version of the pssControl SMARTSHADER plug-in tool is required for operation with these drivers. The new version is available here:
