Hiho, pretty nice shader! It is exactly what I need for Dangerous Vaults2 *lol* and Triablo... and, and, and, I just hope I get how to fine adjust something for frame rates in this shader (I really do not know much about the shader syntax, but I am trying ).

@ Ventilator: You have to use shaders on lifeforms as clothes. For example, Tara is a model out of four models: body, eyes, trouser, latexsuit, boots and hair. The clothes are made with milkshapes FATBOY TOOL.
The same I have to do for the gorillas, tigers, leopards and and and. The suit is there where the fur will be. Thanks to the bones ANIMATION which makes it easily possible to wrap models artound models (with animation) (it was hard work ind angerous vaults 1 to synchronisize Tara, Enemies and clothes for the animations).

Oha! I forgot to explain whats up with the fatboy tool: You have your finished bodymodel first. MAke a security copy, because it may happen that you overwrite ist accidentially...
Open the copy, delete head and legs and arms... and you got your suit. Now open it in milkshape (if you create bones in milkshape, your skin will be lost) and use the fatboy tool on the model. Then wit will be a bit bigger as the body. This is not the same as scaling... fatboy tool moves every vertice in its normal direction. Scaling just moves vertices out of the center!

yeah, I tried it all. Its not a model thing, since it still crashes on compile without any objects. I removed any and all other shaders... oh well..

i know that there are several workarounds to use materials on individual parts but nevertheless the possibility to assign multiple materials to a model would be very helpful...

...
btw. i added a hatching shader conversion to my wiki.

@drew: maybe you can publish the project and try it on a different computer to find out if it's a driver problem or something like that...

good idea! wow...no shaders for a while, then BAM!!!
thanks
Is this what you mean by Hatching shader? (ATI demo)
Also, can you explain how to put the images in RGB?
(Dont mean to hijack the thread..you should open another just for hatching). Again, Thanks for all and any shaders!!

yes, but the example i converted isn't so sophisticated. it doesn't have shadows, outlines and colors. outlines and colors would be easy to add though. for outlines the shell method of the fur shader could be used.

you could simply draw into the individual color channels in your image editing program!

Well, with my method you are able to add many materials to one model. FOr example, in triablo, there will be monster with an metall armor (metal shadered), with leather parts (bumpmapped(?)) and fur on skin parts (werewolves or something). Or tara: the suit (enviroment map shader), trousers (bumpmap shader(?)). It is not 100% the same as ONE model, but it looks like Even if there would be no shaders, I would do the same, so it doesn´t matter to me. I even done that in DV1...

@drew: try to run the fur shader with the latest beta. i found out that it doesn't work for me with 6.20.2 either. strange... maybe it helps!

I believe that I'm actually using 6.20.2 and it works, but I'm also using a GeForceFX. Not ATI.

i have no problems, and a good framerate. but i have a radeon 9600pro

I got it! my mistake...sorry
My TGA was greyscale for somereason...I fixed it by adding my alpha channel and saving it as 32bit...

sweetness.
