Thanks for your kind words frazzle

The shader is now posted in the wiki. I also changed some other things just4fun

Hey, thanks, it´s much faster than the shader I posted and still looks the same...

I´m just going to upload a simple picture...

Edit:


Thanks to Dexsoft for the nice Christmas gift, the model ist from!

Thanks Bloodline, this is great!!!

ok, ok, so I'm officially a dumb f... but how do I go about using this shader. I made a wdl file starting with:

material normalmapping{
effect="
then I pasted the code from the wiki
ended with:
";}
saved it as normalmapping.wdl , included it into the main script and made an action with my.material= normalmapping. Made an object with two skins, the second being a normal map and applied the action to it.

On running I get the error:
//---------
/>
normalmapping.wdl 331:-1 () String length effect="

//---------

/

So what did I do wrong?

Copy what you've pasted into a new txt file ( the shader code between the two " 's, save it as .FX file instead into your work folder, now write that name of that .FX between the two " 's in the material in your wdl. I'm not sure, but I think this shader is too big to be copied and pasted inside a material, but this is just a wild guess,

Cheers

Thanks for the great contribution. Though I've got a question, how would someone have it so the first light is for sunlight? This was the problem I had with matt's shader, trying to get sunlight and dynamic lights to work together. Basically trying to use it on models for both outdoors and indoors.

this looks like dark magic to me, but the results are nice - so great job bloodline!

Adding sunlight is not difficult. Instead of calculating the angle from the light to the world pos, you simply use the vecSunDir vector....


BTW: If you add sunlight, do NOT use attenuation on it, you'll get some crappy effects,

Quote:

---

//light 1
float3 Light1 = PosWorld - vecSunDir[0] ;
Out.Light1.xyz = mul(worldToTangentSpace, -Light1); // L

Out.Att1 = distance(PosWorld,vecLightPos[0])/vecLightPos[0].w; // Point light

I've tried changing the code, but the sun doesn't seem to affect the model. Which lines were you referring too?

P.S - sorry about my n00b when trying to edit shaders.

Out.Sun = mul(worldToTangentSpace, -vecSunDir);

You may need to remove the (red) - ...

I'm not sure...
