Hi the Manual said that I can apply a shader to MAP or Prefab (WMP),
How can I apply a bump shader to a wall that I added to my level as a Prefab not a model, how can I send the bumpmap image to the shader?

thanks

An action cannot be assigned to a .wmp prefab, unless it has been first compiled and made into a separate .wmb file.

But, last I heard, shaders were supported on models and not on any blocks.

they are supported on blocks.... not well tho....

if you use them on blocks you will get unusable performance since there are many inefficiencies this way.

oh dear...

you'll be pleased to know that both Ran Man and lostclimate are wrong. in A7 (which i'll assume you're using because you didn't mention that you're using an old version of gs) you can compile a level with the "create meshes" flag or something like that, and the performance is fine. without that flag, level polygons are sent to the shader one at a time which is really slow.

i haven't used shaders with blocks, though, so i can't tell you exactly how. but the manual is your friend, and i found this --> http://www.conitec.net/beta/ad3d_automaterial.htm <-- which looks useful. in the next update, however, you'll be able to assign shaders straight to WED blocks without using d3d_automaterial.

additional textures (like bump_maps) would be assigned by material skins. this means until the next update is released, you'll need a separate material for each level texture.

that is great to know.

Well, Thanks guys for help and specially to you JulzMighty, yes I have A7, I actually didn't test it yet but I will and I will share my little experience in it.
