LitSpheres in Max viewport

dralex789

Got these badboys working in UDK over here incase anyone is curious Including a hacked world space option (instead of camera space).

Thanks for all the info here, couldn't have done it without it.

I couldn't find an HLSL matcap shader that worked with XNA so I built this from the previous Unity one.

This thread deserves a necro. Great shader for previewing surfaces and smoothing.

It works fine for me with nitrous in 2012, but unfortunately it doesn't work with SSAO.
I'd pay for a matcap shader with working SSAO

I fixed Matballz shader to get it work with directx11 and wrote maxscript for creating material library with matcaps. http://veda3d.com/creating-lit-sphere-material-in-3dsmax/

Thanks for your article. I renewed my interest in this a little while ago and came across your post. I didn't need to look any further, so thanks. I made a quick vid tut a while back, referencing your site and information. Hope you don't mind.

Glad that you find this article useful. I like your vid, I will add link to it  in my article.

Could someone please post the original fx version that worked with DirectX 9 ? The link at the beginning of this threat or on veda3D is dead. And I really need (for plugins reasons) to stick with 3DSMax 2013 which doesn't have DirectX11 available in the viewports Display Drivers !
Hope someone still have the file ! (Matballz.fx )

I fixed link to original shader, you can download from the page of my article.
