Hi Mohammad. You use render monkey if you want to set up shaders on an ATI card, and FX Composer to set up shaders on the NVidia card in readiness to be used in TGEA (not sure if TGE supports shaders unless you add the Modernisation Kit)

These tools allows you to refine shaders so you can see how they look with having to run the effects in-game. You write them using these tools in script form.

Older post but a useful link.

If you use the modernization kit, you can use shaderdesigner, http://www.opengl.org/sdk/tools/ShaderDesigner/

Fx composer will also work for the modernization kit if you install and use the nvidia cg kit.
