Hi,
I have this (old but working ) glow shader.
I was wandering if someone is willing to tudor me how to rewrite it for GS.
Any help typed here is wellcomed. Please talk to me like Im 3 years old since shaders are really strangers to me.

Here is teh shader:

Code:

---

 #include "Constants.h"

// v0  -- position
// v1  -- normal
// CV_SCALING = (edgesize, 0.0f, 0.0f, 0.0f)

vs.1.0

mul r4, v1, c[CV_SCALING].xxxy
add r4, v0, r4

// transform position
dp4 oPos.x, r4, c[CV_WORLDVIEWPROJ_0]
dp4 oPos.y, r4, c[CV_WORLDVIEWPROJ_1]
dp4 oPos.z, r4, c[CV_WORLDVIEWPROJ_2]
dp4 oPos.w, r4, c[CV_WORLDVIEWPROJ_3]

// transform normal
dp3 r0.x, v1, c[CV_WORLD_IT_0]
dp3 r0.y, v1, c[CV_WORLD_IT_1]
dp3 r0.z, v1, c[CV_WORLD_IT_2]

// normalize normal
dp3 r0.w, r0, r0
rsq r0.w, r0.w
mul r0, r0, r0.w

// compute world space position
dp4 r1.x, r4, c[CV_WORLD_0]
dp4 r1.y, r4, c[CV_WORLD_1]
dp4 r1.z, r4, c[CV_WORLD_2]

// vector from point to eye
add r2.xyz, c[CV_EYE], -r1

// normalize e
dp3 r2.w, r2, r2
rsq r2.w, r2.w
mul r2, r2, r2.w

//alpha value
dp3 oD0.w,   r0, r2
mov oD0.xyz, c[CV_COLOR]

its from nvidia effectsBrowser.

so is the shader like a glow as on geometry (bump ,env mapping?) or like the glow from the sun ?

if its like sun ..it woul be very useful.. i love that halo sun effect...

can you post a picture? amt i can't try the code self, because i'm in holiday!
