Slin:

How do you create the alpha channel in tga? Is that call relief map or heightmap or something? The nVidia normalmap plugin or crazybump are not create the alpha channel automatically.

The alphachannel is a heightmap. I´m usually using an greyscale version of the texture.

Update:
-2 dynamic lights and sun is supported.
-fog
-glossmap for the parallax, normal and reliefmapping shaders wich has to be in the alphachannel of the maintexture.
-one more shader

Important:
-For the reliefmapping is an nvidia fx, a newer nvidia graphicscard or an other card that supports shadermodel 3 needed.
-The BumpyGlossyMetal-Shader seems to have some small problems with ati x800 cards.

I plan to add a small introduction about how to convert such a shader for the use with 3DGS to my blog. But I´ll let you know if it´s done
I bought an update to A7 yesterday and hope to get it on friday. When I got it, I´ll try to convert some of the postprocessing effects and the others wich need render to texture.

Hi Slin,

great to see that you are progressing. I am highly interested in your blog-comments regarding the conversion process.

I appreciate your great work.

Regards,
Frank

keep it up!

Okay, I started to write a small workshop about how to convert a shader for the use with 3DGS.
You can find the first part at my Blog.

Sorry that it is a bit messed up... At least I learned that I shouldn´t use the Editor for such things

Thank you Slin.
