VXLSE III Shaders and ATI video cards.
Subject description: I cannot test them on ATI cards.
From the revision 243 onwards, VXLSE III started to use GLSL shaders. At the moment, it only features a phong shader that supports ambient, diffuse and specular effects.
There are a couple of computers here and they all have nVidia video cards. I cannot test these shaders with ATI cards. I've heard that these are more strict when compiling shaders than the ones from nVidia.
So, I hope someone with an ATI card can inform me if it compiles correctly.
If you are willing to help, download the latest beta and make sure you are online when you run the program for the first time, so it can download the shaders for you (no, it's not DRM, I swear ).
Then, load any random voxel and open the 3D preview window or the Modelizer. Once it opens, check the shaders directory.
If it has only 2 files, then it compiled correctly.
If the ATI site says his model of vid card supports GLSL then more than likely his drivers maybe out dated. _________________

Yea, his card supports Shader Model 3.0, which is much more than what I use. So, it's either that or the way I'm detecting GLSL support isn't enough. I'm trying to attack both problems. QUICK_EDIT
just out of curiousity I wanted to see if my vid card supports this, The only error that I recieved was at the begining of the install where it said it couldnt find something, but to click ok to download form the internet. I did that and the program started right up, but where do I find the shader files? here is a pic with the 3d viewer open, but i dont see anything for shaders.

The message you get at the start will happen to every user, because I've added shaders to the program and nobody downloaded them before. So, don't worry about it, since the program has already downloaded the shader files for you.
You can play with the shader files at the directory /shaders. I've uploaded them as .txt file, which means that any text editor opens them without complaints. It uses the GLSL language, which reminds C.
And, as I can see in your screenshot, the shaders seem to be working correctly in your machine. Last edited by Banshee on Wed Mar 10, 2010 6:57 pm; edited 1 time in total QUICK_EDIT
