contains examples from free shaders donated to the community by mainly steempipe and Matt Aufderhiene then altered by me. Thanks guys

has parallax mapping, normal mapping, sort of spec mapping, bump mapping, cartoon rendering, soft dynamic shadows, bloom, and it's open source demo so it can be cut and pasted into any project easily

are they done for DX9? ( havn't tried them yet)

I got a couple shaders i got from shaders forum a while back but think they were done for DX8 because they no longer work. since I know zip on doing shaders i have to rely on what people post and hope they work.

Yeah, they're dx9, for A6 31.4

Background nonwithstanding, that is a very cool screenshot!

Nice contribution!

Thanks!

I got this error too like sly:

Malfunction W1523: render_backbuffer not found in DLL

excellent contribution, will try it sometime!
Parallax is the way to go! Experiment with the map to get different results, you will be surprised how deep it can go.
I've gotten what looks like 5-6 inches deep on a brick wall!
Be careful, you can easily streak the edges of the bumps by going too deep, the pixels stretch. Its amazing to actually see a brick 'block' another brick when you get close to a wall...Imagine a detail in the grout that you cant see when you get close to the wall...Its going to be amazing when parallax mapping makes it into retail games, we are ahead at this point...

The missing file is available here, just put it in your folder

Renderview DLL

Downloaded the dll and put it into my folder but still get the same error!

same result
