Introduction

How to apply a shader to a model

List of GPUs that support shaders
- does your 3D card support shaders? Here's a list of various gpus and their supported vertex and pixel shader version.

Shader hints
- some general purpose code for using fog, sun light, and dynamic lights in HLSL shaders

Mirror shaders
- some hints for using the Render-To-Texture feature (view.bmap) to create realtime reflections.

Shader list

This is just a selected list of user created shadereffects. They are mostly for special purposes; for normal shader effects you can use Gamestudio's integrated shader library. The following universal shaders are already integrated in Gamestudio: terrain multitexturing, cartoon shading, environment mapping, gooch, normalmapping, bump mapping, blinn mapping, phong mapping, parallax mapping, occlusion mapping, wind animation, glass, chrome, mirror, water, blur, bloom, dilate, displacements, erode, bleach, sepia, emboss, posterize, lens.

DX8 Modelrendering

'Note: Some DX8 effects need small corrections in order to run with DirectX9! Vertex shaders need a different vertex stream declaration (see update63.txt), some () have to be changed to {}, oFog.x has to be changed to oFog, some fixed function keywords are case sensitive now,... the error messages are more precise now so it should be quite easy to figure out whats wrong.'

	Terrain Multitexturing v.s. 1.1 / p.s. 1.3 + 1.1		Fur Shader Old v.s. 1.1 / p.s. 1.1
	Waving Grass v.s. 1.1 / p.s. 1.3		Glowing Edges Shader v.s. 1.1 / p.s. 1.1 (for old A6 versions)
