hi! i was toying around with mephistos fur_shader conversion and the hatching shader ventilator did. also i applied the toon shader from him, when i saw it last night here. so i wanted to show you a demo in motion, i got this the whole night(only in published version, and it has been figured out, at least a workaround-look here(german) ):

so i decided to give you my wdl files for this, as i made some variations to the codes.
here are some shots:
original hatch from ventilator, but using also vecLight:


it can be blended over leveltextures:



now playing around inside the shader to achieve various styles:










here we go on with slightly changed toon(big thx to ventilator) and furr(big thx to mephisto)








and here are the files (up in a few minutes)

i never thought it was that much fun, playing with shaders. big thx to conitec

WHOA! NICE!!

you can really see how shaders are going to change everything...

yes, its so much fun, even if you get thousands of errors on your way(like i get when coding shader) you will always get some nice results in time

wow! it looks very cool! ...but the file for download is missing!

sorry, i made a typo now click here should contain all files(needed by script). tell me if something is missing...

i think the wmb is missing?

i know. i only put up the wdl and some tgas, since i had the error above. when im home i am going to work it out as you did and then, tomorrow i'll post the working demo(at least i hope so)

aiaiai:


a highspeed tube. must see it in action... movement gets caused simply by rotating the camera.pan


since(a6shaders) {my.function=going_total_crazy;}
exe works now, again, thanx to ventilator, so it will be up tomorrow

ventilator, how did you know about the .fx-file solution for the fur_shader? i think this is important for everyone.

this strange error message always told me that the error is one line after the last line. because the shader worked before (i have no idea what is different with the development engine?) i came to the conclusion that it isn't a bug in the shader. i thought such an error message could be caused by the fact that the string is too long (the fur shader is extremely long) and this could be worked around with an .fx file because maybe it doesn't use the string. it worked!

...
these tunnels look great!

...i am looking forward to the demo but please convert the fur pixelshader to ps.1.3 or lower so that i will be able to see it. ps.1.4 isn't necessary for it. the fire effect looks very promising and i don't want to miss it! why does the character have his face at the stomach? it looks very eerie!

Code:

---

PixelShader=

asm{

	ps.1.1

	tex t0

	mul r0,t0,c0

};
