Re: Pixel shaders in Max
I use max 7 viewports to preview models for one of our prototypes. We use the cgfx plugin above, and have not had any problems compiling to ati compatible code. We convert everything to .fx or fx composer compatible shader language, and those are just text files that are compiled in real-time on the engine. It's kind of… -
Re: Pixel shaders in Max
the fur effect is not trivial. it involves building extra geometry (fins and shells) in code, and set up texcoords for them ... you will not be able to just put the shaders on any surface, very often those surfaces need to be a bit special and have extra info. this special stuff however is very unique to the effect and… -
Re: Pixel shaders in Max
yeah, indeed, it is somewhat easier to make some cool fx in realtime graphics code than teaching max scanline renderer to do the same. I guess we will see more gpu-based renderers soon, things tend to become more flexible and easier to use... then again its one thing for a single object, and totally different if a full… -
