my problem with 6.20.2 was this one. and for 6.20.2 i had to use my.transparent=on; for the entity to get it to work. strange! with the latest beta it worked without my.transparency=on; ...

Check it out! using the fur shader as grass on terrain...
I would have a demo here, but my published version crashes. I get an error that a 'block' symbol exists...(the block is the same as a blank space)... anyone else get this error publishing with A6?

there seems to be a bug with extremely long shaders like the fur shader. they have to be put into a .fx file. publishing should work then!

nice screenshot!

fps? with such a big surface

This is a great shader, but keep in mind that it is VERY slow on pcs not up to par. I get about 30fps on a dual P4 2.4 system with a Radeon video card- and only rendering a block with a strawlike fur (like in the dX example).

-Rhuarc

around 30fps on radeon 9600... i'll have a demo later tonight..

@Ventilator-
What is the code for loading .fx again?
Can't find my example...
Thanks!

Awesome job and great screenshot!!!

@Drew, I answered that question in another thread, but here it is again.

effect_load(material,string name)

Loads an effect file in Microsoft .fx format from the work folder into the given material, and applies to effect to all models and terrain that have this material assigned. This instruction can be used to edit effects and shaders in real time and observe the result immediately in the game.

thanks

man, they dont give specifics in their 'anti-codenewbie' manuals...
I understand the concept and code, where does it go?
Where and how do I define the .fx?
Im lost...
