Is there a way to use .fx shaders or convert them into an appropriatte shader file for 3ds gamsestudio? Sorry if this sounds a bit of a silly question, Im not a programmer. Thanks, James.

You will have to change some things before the shader will work in the A6. humansandbag@hotmail.com Sabbath Software

Have a look at the features here- http://usa.autodesk.com/adsk/servlet/index?siteID=123112&id=5659513 Especially normal mapping and the .fx creation are amazing for gs. So what would I need to change the.fx to and how? So it IS possible, thats great. Have a look at the clip. James.
