Render monkey !!!!

hi there...
do you even hear about Render monkey ?
i want compiling my shaders with it but every time it show me error !!
when i write a shader in Notepad and use it ...it's working right.....but when i copy it to render monkey...for looking result it will be fail(error)....
what i must do ?

I'm not using Rendermonkey, but why do you want to load your shader into Rendermonkey if you already say it's working fine? Isn't it supposed to be the other way around that you create a shader in Rendermonkey and then convert it to be used with Gamestudio!?

Some preset shader variables specific to 3dgs must be changed in order to "port" the shader. If you don't do this, it won't work.

Thanks,

I've never used RM myself too but I can recommend the FX composer from Nvidia, it's quite flexible and users friendly
But like adoado mentioned, 3dgs uses specific predefined variables to recognise the algorithm.

wow .... thanks to all...
where i can find FX-Compressor ? is anybody can help me ?

On the Nvidia Developer Website, its free. Although the new FX Composer, FX Composer 2 in my opinion is really bad, so I still use 1.8

Thanks,
Adoado

Well, the FX Composer 2 needs you to have a rather new Video card installed. Something like GeForce 7800GS or better that has good Shader version 3.0 support.

You can find more info at this NVidia Forum.

FX Composerr 1.8 is really nice though even if you have to modify the shader code generated before using it in 3DGS.
cheers,
