Oh, damn, owned...
It looks like it has changed a little. Well, lucky me...

Ventilator: is that a screenshot from A6? I mean, is that possible to do with A6?
It is a very interesting feature...

Actual "Cel" Shading in 3d Gamestudio using vertex shaders!
[image]http://axelgames.tripod.com/cel.txt[/image]
As you can see it doesnt quite output textures. I need a little help on blending Texture 1 and Texture 2 together.
I have the code to do it with a pixel shader, but sadly my computer cannot run pixel shaders, so it does not help me very much. If anyone can offer me a hand, you can keep the code for yourself too!

Now THAT is cool. I'm curious -- how much does such processing decrease framerate? And how would that appear on my old ti4200?

this stuff looks pretty cool !!!

can't wait to try all of it out...

Thanx tesanders. Really it doesnt slow framerates down much at all. Its only a Vetex Shader, and they can run on cards as old as the hills. But enless I find an alternate method of blending textures, I might have to use a Pixel Shader to do it. In that case very few cards will be able to run this shader.

I may be incorrect, but I think only cards newer then ATI8x00+ and GeForce3+ can handle Vertex Shading in hardware.

When I think "old as the hills" I think TNT and Voodoo.

You may be right, but when I think of "as old of the hills" I think of my ald Rage Ati Pro 4mb Graphics Controller Now that thing was a beast of all kinds! yet it could run vertex shaders. (Even though it can't run A6! They stopped making drivers for it around the time of dx 8.0) But you are the expert Doug, so you may very well be correct.

I would love to know how you did that grass/terrain. Please this is a fundemental to our game concept. TUT would be gr8!!!

Seriously any help on this would be greatly appreciated

wait for the A6 update and then just apply the material shader to your terrain. Easy ain't it?
