Next Gen Shader problems in Maya 2011 (Incorrect Lighting)

Cooljay

Whenever I try to use HLSL shaders like lcnextgen and xoilul it gives inverted lighting like this. How do I fix it so it shows things correctly ?

dont use lcNextGenShader.fx - I dont remember the last time I checked or updated it and it could be messed up. For Maya you should use a CGFX shader anyway as they are much more stable than the HLSL shaders. There are a few CGFX shaders available but I have to recomend my own lcUberShader.cgfx.

If you have never used a realtime shader in Maya before you should be aware of some of the peculiarities, like lights need to be linked individualy. check out this video.

Thanks I linked the lights, and that helped out
