My question is, Where (exactly) in my (existing) project.wdl do I imput the shader.fx to run them correctly? and how do i know what materials, or mdls recieve the fx input.

As a new user you should get started with lite-c... http://server.conitec.net/down/litec.zip ...If you've already completed them then, make sure you save your files as '.c'. An '.fx' file just contains the shader code, in a language called HLSL(High Level Shader Language). You create a Material in your '.c' script, and the effect paramter of the material is where you say which shader to run... Code: MATERIAL* MyMaterial = { effect = "myshader.fx"; } Then you attach your material to any entity you want... Code: action MyEntityAction() { my.material = MyMaterial; } I don't mean to sound patronising....just making sure you get the full picture. Last edited by DJBMASTER; 03/22/10 06:14.
