How do I use the Post-Processing Collection with Lite-C? The previewing code is in C-Script, but I would like to use one of the effects in one of my Lite-C projects.

BTW, I've already tried using the PP_Quad.tga thing. It doesn't work. Is there any way I could apply the shaders just to a view, without having to use PP_Quad.tga?

67 views and no replies?

Does anyone know how to use post-processing effects with Lite-C? Please?

for sure...it will work with a screen aligned quad - if you have the pro version.
Else there is no way for you.

But the PP_Main.wdl script in the PP collection is the part that has the alignment code, and it works when I try to run main.wdl, which includes it, and I only have A7 Commercial.

Btw I tried the A7.07 shader viewer which has 40 models and scene shader.
It worked very well for me and has an awesome collection of model and scene shaders.

So, I guess then I should look at how it's set up in shadertest.c? I'll give it a go.

EDIT: oh, wait, nvr mind. I'll just look at the Shader Workshop (I recently updated to A7.07). Thx for the responses, though.

Its pretty easy to use the pp collection, here's what I did:

Code:

---

  VIEW* view_bloom_blur = { material = mtl_bloom_blur; flags = CHILD | PROCESS_TARGET; } // a postprocessing view

---

make a view

Code:

---

MATERIAL* mtl_bloom_blur =
{
  effect = "
  Texture TargetMap;
	sampler2D g_samSrcColor = sampler_state { texture = <TargetMap>; MipFilter = Linear;	};
	
	float4 vecViewPort;
	float4 vecSkill1;
	
	float4 postprocessing_bloomblur( float2 Tex : TEXCOORD0 ) : COLOR0 
	{
		float facBlur = 3/20.;
	   float4 Color = tex2D( g_samSrcColor, Tex.xy);
		Color += tex2D( g_samSrcColor, Tex.xy+vecViewPort.zw*facBlur);
		Color += tex2D( g_samSrcColor, Tex.xy+vecViewPort.zw*facBlur*2);
		Color += tex2D( g_samSrcColor, Tex.xy+vecViewPort.zw*facBlur*3);
		return Color / 3.3;
	}
	
	technique PostProcess 
	{
		pass p1 
		{
			AlphaBlendEnable = false;
			VertexShader = null;
			PixelShader = compile ps_2_0 postprocessing_bloomblur();
		}
	}
  ";

make the material, i just copy and paste the ppblurbloom into the material


add camera.stage = view_bloom_blur; to your camera function

Oh, thanks! I didn't know there was a "PROCESS_TARGET" flag. Now I can start writing my own PP shaders (if I can figure it out, ).

Tested, and it works! There's only one problem, though. For some reason, all the meshes show up above each other. The 3D cursor in the screen below shouldn't look that way; the rectangle should be under the pyramid, not over it.



If it makes any difference, this is at 1024x768 (stupid Imageshack likes to resize images without your consent) on an nVidia GeForce 7300 GT (512MB). Also, this happens even when the view's material is set to NULL.

ya i tried pretty much all of the pp codes, and found that jsut pasting them into the material, and setting the view, and the camera worked fine.
