I'm trying to learn how to do my own shaders for my game. Does anyone know any good (free) tools or tutorials for do shaders? I'd appreciate all the help I could get, thanks. Ereon ------------------ |

do you want to make shaders for truespace or dark basic? ------------------ |

Dbasic ------------------ |

Anyone know ANYTHING about making shaders, or any link on how to do it? I can't find a normal map shader thats compatable with Dark Basic Pro. ------------------ |

No kijacking intended... But I need to know how to use different shaders with the TGE, if anyone knows how... ------------------ [This message has been edited by questleader (edited March 08, 2006).] |

AFAIK To write shaders for any engine, (unless the engine has its own shader language) you need to work at the DX API level... ------------------ |

ShaderX, dunno if it's free, but it's pretty good. What type of shaders are you looking to do? like for what format? HLSL? I'll look into finding some articles into shader programming if you want. ------------------ Startup Christian Games Company Producing Mobile/PC Games/Tools |

oh also, are you up to doing it in assembler (old school)?? or the new shader format (C like code). Oh and btw it's not ShaderX, its actually Shader Works XT. I know that ShaderWorks supports HLSL (C like code). I think there was another shader program called RenderMonkey. Some tutorials I've found on the web for shaders. HLSL http://www.facewound.com/tutorials/shader1/ Hope these help, I've never looked into DBasic though, so I don't actually know what you'll need to be able to put shaders into a DBasic program. Good luck. ------------------ Startup Christian Games Company Producing Mobile/PC Games/Tools |

Thanks for the tutorials dartman, they should be just the type of stuff I'm looking for. These shaders (and art in general) have been giving me a headache, this information should be very useful. ------------------ |
