Since I tried getting it to work the first time, I have reinstalled windows and have been moving recently, but I did start messing with it again. I'm thinking of scrapping my code and starting from scratch again. Maybe even try the relief mapping instead. LOL converting hlsl has been a pain compared to converting asm, but I finally bit the bullet and started reading some tutorials on writing shaders. Still seems greek to me though.
