Import FX And Free Web Hlsl Codes

#1 You can use .fx effects with TGEA 1.7.1 now. Example:

new EffectData( MyEffect )
{
    DXEffectFile = "path/to/my/effect/file.fx";

    // You can optionally specify a named pool for shared parameters.
    Pool = "MyEffectPool";
};

However, as such this won't do you any good since you need rendering code in the engine that makes use of the effect. Currently, effects cannot be used like shaders for materials.

#2 So, what's the purpose of EffectData here?

#3 Well, rendering code can use the effect data to render stuff. It works just the same as ShaderData only with the advantages inherent to the FX format (techniques, named parameters, etc).

However, at the moment, the effects code isn't used anywhere and since it won't work with the material system (yet), it is really only useful to people working directly with the engine code. Initially, I wrote it for a new Atlas rendering path that hasn't yet found its way into something releasable.

#4 It seems quite interesting!

#5 Can i use a .fx effects in tgea 1.7.0

#6 No, effectData was only added in TGEA 1.7.1.

#7 Ok
thanks for helping
wraiting my .fx effects in materials.cs or main.cs or...?
and what i needing to rendering code?
please saying about using rendering code

#8 The whole thing is probably less useful to you, Mohammad, than you imagine at the moment. What you need to use .fx effects is custom rendering code in the engine.

I suppose you want to use .fx files for materials in Torque. In this case, the material system would have to be extended to support effects in addition to shaders. I promise, I'll be taking a look at this the next days and, if I can get it done quickly, will give it a shot.

PS: BTW, this is of course all DX9-specific.

#9 Do is a suported shader model 4 in tgea 1.7.1 or 1.7.2
and directx 10

#10 Nope no support for DX10 or SM4 OpenGL extensions in the engine right now.

You could possibly port your .fx file to HLSL is you're willing to learn how to do so.
