Hi, first off. as a new user. 3dgs is awesome. seems endless in possibilities.

I tried the offical shader workshop. 24 hours of not working out.
My question is, Where (exactly) in my (existing) project.wdl do I imput the shader.fx to run them correctly? and how do i know what materials, or mdls recieve the fx input.

Ok first off, if your files are '.wdl' then you are using C-Script, the old language. As a new user you should get started with lite-c...

...If you've already completed them then, make sure you save your files as '.c'.

An '.fx' file just contains the shader code, in a language called HLSL(High Level Shader Language). You create a Material in your '.c' script, and the effect paramter of the material is where you say which shader to run...

Then you attach your material to any entity you want...

I don't mean to sound patronising....just making sure you get the full picture.
