Hey I was wondering if anyone knows of any alternatate vertex shader texture rendering methods. I am making a cel shader and I out put the lighting in all through the oT0 command. But if I try to do like a mov oT0, v7 it just over rights by cel shader giving me just a texture. If I write it like mov oD0, v7, it works, but its all color diffuse not my actual texture. I basically need a method to set my texture/uv with oD0 or with oT0 but without writing over my actual shading part. Thanx! Btw, if I render my lighting with the oD0 instead it doesnt give me that cartoony effect.

Any help please? If I can get the texture to work I will for sure share the source with the community. The effect it really neat!

i have no idea what you are talking about in your first post! i think you have to explain what's the idea of your shader and how the vertex shader is intended to work together with the pixelshader.

Well, it doesnt work with a pixel shader. It runs on its own. It basically is a pretty normal lighting shader but instead of outputing the actual shading part to oD0 (like in your example with the bumpmapping), I output it to the texture one, oT0. This gives me a toon effect. But I cannot put a texture on with oT0 because that overwrites my shading. So how else would I display a texture?

if you would like to apply a texture additionally to the toon effect you could output the real texture coordinates to oT1. then you have to blend the toon texture stage with the oT1 texture stage in the way you want!
