breve currently does not provide any kind of access to shaders.  
There's currently
not much available on the graphics front that isn't shown off in the 
various demos.
The forthcoming version 2.0 does have a number of improvements to 
texturing and
transparencies, including the ability to modify textures and images in 
realtime,
and to use rendered images as textures.

breve is, for the moment, probably not what you're looking for, though 
this
functionality is improving all the time.  It has occurred to me that it 
would
be possible to publish the entire OpenGL API in breve's scripting 
language so
that people could use all of the OpenGL functionality, but I think that 
for
the time-being, I'd prefer to continue implementing "higher level" 
OpenGL
effects.

Another thing I've been considering is using an existing graphics or 
game
front-end in breve, but I still haven't found one I'm entirely happy 
with.
