Hello,

I'm quite new to scripting in 3dgs, and I would like to add a shader to my levels, like the stone texture in the background here:



I am not interested in a model shader, I just want to make the textures of my levels look more 3d, and correspond with the lighting. I have searched the web on how to do this, and have found many 3dgs screenshots with it how I want, and a few codes, but I dont know how to make these codes work for me.

Thanks for the help.

Try a bumpmapping shader. Search the forums as I'm pretty sure you'll find it that way.

PS Very nice level!

Thanks for the reply!

So its a bumpmapping shader I want then? When I search the forum I find lots of code and stuff for it, but I have no idea how to implement it into my level. The only shader tutorials I have found are for models, but not for levels.

A shader is generally applied through assigning a material to an entity:

Code:

---

material bump_mapping_mat
{
	...
	effect =
	"
		// insert shader code here
	";
}

action add_bumpmap
{
	...
	my.material = bump_mapping_mat;
	...
}

---

I don't know shaders - they aren't explained much at all in the manual. It requires the commercial or professional edition to use shaders, however.

What version of A6 Pro do you have?
In WED -> HELP -> ABOUT WED

I don't have A6 pro, I have commericial - version 6.31

Go to au.conitec.net and search shadercollection from Matt Cole.
That's good start point for You.
