let me just preface this: I'm not a coder, so its easier said than done..but I would be willing to trade art assets for shaders...

- Is there a Displacement map shader that could work with GS... a dx8.1 shader? If so, I would think this is a priority for conitec and users, its the new standard for charcters and weapons...(please, please!)
- can the bump shader be modified to do this?
- are there any shaders currently for gamestudio that handle lighting correctly, not just sun position?
- Are there any shader folks that would be willing to trade art for shaders? I desperatly need a glow and depth of field shader(s).
- Are there plans for easier implementation of .fx anbd cg shaders? like a copy and paste? (or do i really not understand shader integration...)
- Has anyone seen or tested the shader editor?
(i know its not in beta yet..where is it!! )
- why am I so obsessed with shaders? hehehe

Shaders are cool. I'm obsessed with shaders too (just not publically). Wait a minute! The above statement made itself false by me posting.

Thanks Alexander i think..that was bad news..hehehe
I know why im obsessed, PHOTOREALISM coming to a 3Dcard near you. Its my personal and professional goal, and shaders are the way to go...at east when they support DX9...

Alexander gave me some great explanations in a PM why most shaders wont work in A6. Big letdown..but I can wait.
Most game related shaders are directx9..
thanks

...only the impressive ones are DirectX 9 .

please explain that publicly! ...i guess a lot of effects won't work in a6 because they don't rely on shaders alone but need the collaboration of the engine. and setting render targets and such stuff isn't flexible enough with a6?

...
does displacement mapping tesselate the mesh dynamically?

hmm, in my shader books they get vertexcolorvalues from the stream. if we could get them, too , we could use them for displacementmapping .

@ello : well, correct me if I'm wrong, but that's why you need directx 9, right?

vertex colors have nothing to do with displacement mapping.
