Hello I'm new to this stuff and I read alot about shaders.
And that is the reason of my question:
Ok how can I use a shader and where can I get them.
Thanks for all!

wiki (see link a the top of this page)

you have to made shaders by yourself.
Start from WIKI examples, download Matt Cole's 'shader collection' (au resources), buy good book about gpu programming.

if you want to use someone elses you need to find the textures used (mat, or skins, define them in a material, save the shader to a fx file and use effect="yourshader.fx"; in your material, remember, not all shaders can be used by 3dgs best bet is to use the wiki shaders as mk_1 has said.

erhm i disagree, if it werent for your little teaching thing i still wouldnt understand shaders and i searched the internet for months and all the tutorials suck. to be completely honest since you held those classes i havent even learned anything else

which books do you recommend?

i imagine not all the books out there are compatable with A6, right?

well its not the books that need to be compatable, you just need to know how your shaders will be affected and you need to know how to input your textures and such.

I learned just from looking at code. It's not that hard and it's only about getting started. You can get tons of information about phong shading, normal mapping, specular mapping, parallax mapping, ...

kannst mir auch auf deutsch antworten,dass macht die Sache wesenlich einfacher.
Danke!
