Hello,
I have a very basic knolage of C-Script (can make things rotate). And I would like to learn how to create nice shaders by my self. My request is for a very indepth "free" tutorial on how to create shaders. Could anyone help me???
Thnk you,
Braxton

I wouldnt say you'd be totally helpless if you know enough c-script to make an object rotate, but youd have a hard time trying to figure out whats going on in the shader world. Before you even get into shaders I think you may have to understand about the rendering pipeline, because as I have experienced, the shaders are so beautiful that they are so hard to understand. Im sure there are alot of free tutorials online, and some good books if youre willing to pay. Try this wiki link, it may give you SOME type of grounding as to what the hell is going on with shaders: http://www.shaderx.com/direct3d.net/tutorials/shader/shader1.html

It says I have to have Visual C/C++ 6.0 with the Service Pack 5. But I only have Dev-C++ (updated to the newest version) will that work?

Does any one know a book that I can get on Shaders and how to make them... basically the mark-up of the language. Either in C-Script or C++??? Because obviously no one is gonna help me out with my last question.

What is DirectX 9 anyways. I know it is a program for games to work properly, but why should I know how to create one.
