i think he talks about the cpu gems series.

hum i read it already, and, there is some reference to it. But does anyone worked in such shader already? im not very expert at shaders, maybe someone could had already one.

Where can I find wherever that is?

@ Joey:

Yes indeed

@ MMike:

A good friend of mine and I are working on such a shader atm and we used Gems as a reference item
No release yet, this will be something for later on.

frazzle:
well i can wait, my project has other things to work, i was just wondering if anyone would have it.
thanks

Oke
Maybe ask BoH_Havoc since he mentioned something about it and he is acknowlegded with the correct shader information.

The effect shaders has .fx extension, that means that from the nvidea library, i can use their .Fx shaders files too? and will be compatible?
if no, Why it needs conversion? this shader tecnology on GS need to be speeded UP.
Halo2 is a old game, and it had That SUN shader with rays, already built in.

hey,
Ive been experimenting with a shader that simulates the first image very closely. Ill share it when its done but as some simple help, the effect can be efficiently achieved with a enviroment mapping shader + specular (phong) highlight shader. If you dont program you can actually just combine 2 pre-made effects like EM+specularH using Nvidia Fx composer. Check it out at Nvidia's website (sorry no link)

i have the nvidea shader composer of course, but the code it generates its not compatible with GS, i mean, doing load effect("XXX.Fx",.bla bla") won't do work, or it will???
IF yes im happy.
Ahum about the shader, the EV´specular are not enough, there is some kind of glare shader, i mean, the brigh areas glow...

PLease note, when i posted the first post, i shown different shaders, but similar , one is glare, ( the glow white areas) and other is glare too, but when something is passing front of it, it will hide the glare oon that place, so its not just a simple bloom i guess.

As in the GPU Gems series - its a book by NVIDIA. In GPU Gems 3 is a chapter on Volumetric Light Rendering (to get crep. rays).

Thanks,
