I think it would be excellent. I myself havent even tried to step into the realm of shaders besides trying to apply bump mapping to level geometry(which i still cant get to work)... Preferably fixed function shaders would be excellent but thats only cause i cant use Vertex and pixel shaders

Ot: Will bumpmapping on level geometry work with a nividia geforce4 mx420... I was told fixed function would work on it however ive yet to get anything working tho its probally due to my lack of understanding and not properly following instructions.
