questions about .hlsl

[Shandy6661]

i have some .hlsl files that i get from different engine, the question is "is it can be used by T3D?"

Thanks

shandy.

hlsl files are shaders, to be more specific directX Shaders and no you can not simply take hlsl files and expect those to work in T3D.

You have to either rewrite those to work like expected or write new hlsl shaders based on those.

And at the end you have to create scripts to be able to use your shaders,

take a look at this

it might answer other question you might get.

[Shandy6661]

you meant "Rewrite those" is the TorqueScript? i.e "Vignette.cs"?

more like 'track down what variables are used and convert them to the ones sent by the engine'. Though that *can* include variables set by script in the case of post effects, more often than not, it'll be more a case of source entries. As an example:
