Version 1.1 uses a newer DirectX version then Version 1.0.
Please! update! your! DirectX! Then the demo should work with version 1.1. Then we can find out why it doesn't work in you projects.

what version of dx does it use?

You need d3dx9_36.dll.

i have the latest version of dx9.0c ....

quick question...can someone help me understand how to use this plugin? i have it in the same folder as the levels that i wanted to use the shader effect, but it doesnt work. i have been trying to get water shaders to work for me, but no luck at all.sylex opens and works for some shaders, but when i try to use it for a water shader, it doesnt work. i guess r2t works for some shaders, and sylex work for others. can anyone advise?

ok, pappenheimer was right, i tried over and over, i suppose the video card on the other machine didn't support these features, although it should have....but nonetheless i have it working...

@blink: the way you get this to work is make sure that you have d3dx9_36.dll, and download the version 1.1, then just put it in your acknex_plugins folder and it will load automatically, but without the d3d dll it won't recognize any of the commands, so it won't load. Sylex used a older version of dx, this one uses the last dx9 version, also sylex was worded differently, with this one you can use in engine shaders properly

Thanks for the help, i will give it a try.

ok, chris, on some pc's i've noticed that the dll loads fine and works great, however, on another pc i have it refuses to load, dx9 is updated all the way and as i mentioned before the video card should handle the r2t feature (it's a geforce 6100 with windows xp home, the one on my pc which works is a 7800 GT OC with windows xp pro) and my friends pc loads it fine (windows xp pro, cant remember the card, but it's an ati). why is it that the other pc doesn't?

one more thing: is there a way to edit the bloom shader which comes with the bundle to allow anti-aliasing? on my friends and my pc i've resized the view and other needed things to get the resolution high enough, but the shader disables our anti aliasing completely.

BTW the shader is a really good bloom shader, and it's not in any means slow, it doesn't change my framerate at all

i am having the same problem. i have a geforce 6200 A-LE, and it doesnt load for me at all, but sylex does. i have the dx9 dll in the folder too.

i know it has something to do with the update from 1.0 to 1.1, because the first one runs perfectly...
