Bump Maps and Material Effects

Hi,
I'm pretty much hopeless at shaders, could someone really simply tell me how to load and use a shader. I am after a Bump Map shader and a Material effect shader (Where you have like dust on stuff etc.). If someone could help out all us noobs here we would all be 1337 and help each other more

Hi !
i'll be short:
http://coniroot.de/~pirvu/au/scripts/shadercollection.zip
and open your eyes at all BIG collections at AUM, ACKNEX unlimited, user contributions at this forum and more.
Good luck.

I have downloaded this tutorial but keep getting an error

"render_backbuffer not found in DLL"

I'm not sure if I need to update something, currently running 6.31.4. Any info would be appreciated.

Ok.
First. Engine can't locate your plugins dir. Copy renderview.dll into 3dgs plugin folder or your game plugin folder.
Second. If you haven't renderview.dll or if You don't need bloom effect, modify c-script (comment all lines, where you'll found RenderBackBuffer word... ).

where do find renderview.dll because it isnt included with the download

Take a second look! IS included!

yea... so it's included in the script, but I want renderview.dll, not remove it out of the script.
Why dont I have it? Or am I stupid and miss something?

lol i must be stupid and missing something aswell cause i still dont see the dll anywhere

Ups, you are right! It was a seperate .zip, that I downloaded. Can't upload it right now. Will try it later!

@ Matt Coles: Why isn'T it downloadable as well? Without the renderview,dll the package doesn't make much sense!

haha alright thank you please try and upload it soon

Ok, Just too make sure I'm not getting blind or something

Thanx for help

I made a mistake in the first upload to conitec and they didn't publish the updated version. I am buying an internet site and will host the new version in about two weeks. To fix this problem now: just download this

http://www.matt.brightwatch.com/renderview.zip

and paste it into the 3dgs\acknex_plugins folder
it will fix your problems with the shader collection

Thanx!, but... it's not working hehe
At least, not for me: "page not found" (your TEST was visible on your site anyway )

EDIT!!! Nobody else has this problem?

I can't download either...

I loaded it up. It is here:

web page

Thanks!

it must go in the main GStudio folder in acknex_plugins BTW.

And thanks Matt - Awesome! Parallax mapping - who would have thought!
