Importing model shaders

by Architecture@Uni Melbourne · in Torque Game Engine · 03/09/2009 (8:13 pm) · 3 replies

hello,

I want to use 3D models designed by other programs (such as 3DS) in TGE. I doubt importing a models textures will be a problem, but what about shaders?
According to this article importing shaders is non-trivial and certainly not automatic. Is there a way to more easily import shaders? Or if I want shaders will I always need to apply them within TGE?

thanks

You will need TGEA if you want to use shaders. There is a modernization kit for TGE somewhere around here, however, that allows the use of shaders in TGE.

That only works for certain objects and requires you to modify the source code. DL out.

I knew TGEA had good shader support, but I didn't realize TGE lacked shader support at all.
I'll reask my question to the TGEA list. Thanks!
