Well, that shader is not bad at all, but compared to the old DirectX 8 fur shader it's nothing hehehe. Someone should try to convert that old one to DirectX 9, the 21 passes one is too slow for what it does, that DirectX 8 one was way faster ánd looked better. Anyways, it's not that we can't use the 21 passes shader (it runs nice on a Radeon 9600XT and anything better),

Cheers
