If A6 does not support vertex colors, what does it mean when the specification of game studio says Vertex and Pixel shaders? What is vertex and pixel shaders and how can I use them? Thanks.

They are used to acheive lighting effects, moving textures, water waves, and other complex visual effects that cannot be acheived practically on the CPU. A vertex shader is sometimes used alone, and more often paired with a pixel shader; both are sent to the GPU and executed at render time. -Rhuarc I no longer post on these forums, keep in touch with me via: Linkedin.com My MSDN blog
