Thank you mat, and I am glad you didnt post the proper "fixed" code for me as I am trying to learn shaders, like how you said you did. I had already changed the matworlviewproj and such, but I did not know I could not have a double "main" technique. I learned something new I also was staring at that BINORMAL and pondering because I had not seen it in other shaders but I didnt know what to do with it. I will let you know how it goes and ask help if I really need it. I'll post the finished product when I am done. This is the "gold shine" shader from rendermonkey, but without the gold. If somebody has already posted this code, please dont tell me
Many Thanks
