3Point Shader - PLEASE HELP

LightningShard5

Hello everyone. I just started using 3Point Studios 3Point Shader, but I have a problem. I don't understand how the lighting for it works, and I can't find any real tutorials. The main culprit here is the lighting. I just don't understand what "getShadowLight1" is and what "Light1 ShadowBias" is. I can't find any definite answers as to what they are or what they specifically affect. Simple experimentation doesn't seem to be getting me anywhere. Does anyone have any answers for me or know where I can find them? Thanks for your help.

Which version of Max are you using?
Lite or Full version of the shader?
Post screen-shot of what is it you're trying to do.

I'm using Max12, the free version of the shader, and I'm just trying to light a gun in Max using a basic 3 point lighting setup.

Did you disable Nitrous and enable DX9?
Did you disable Gamma/LUT?
Do you need shadows? I think Bias etc. for shadows is the self-shadowing of the model and casting of it, not sure if you need it in the first place.

The first two were done. As for the Bias, I mainly just want to know exactly what all of this stuff means so that I can use it to its fullest.
