Chances are you installed the dill files too and the compiled project. Just include the models sounds and stuff in the folders.

Here's a little package for anyone wanting to try their hand at pre-compiling a Script shader.

Includes a simple step-by-step how-to guide. The instructions are fairly simple but please read
them carefully!

If anyone has any further questions about the Shader Kit i'll try to answer when time permits.

Here is a 'fixed' version of the Soft-Shadow shader. The shadowing now falls correctly
on the Andro model.

What i've done is added the shader as an uncompiled .fx file. Although it's not
compiled you can still select it from the list of system shaders as you would any
compiled shader.

I think the only benefits to this method is the convenience of selecting a shader from
the system shader list (but you still need to add a script shader from within 3dRad
to access the shader's attributes) and working with a less cluttered shader script from
within 3dRad.

You can also edit the .fx file with notepad while testing your shader. Just make sure to refresh
any SkinMesh (select the SkinMesh and press 'R') using the shader.



Edit:
The shadow quality took kind of a nosedive in this version of the Soft-Shadow shader, so here's
a quick fix:

first you might want to thin the fog out a little. Change this line:

   int    fogStart = -100, fogEnd = 1200;

to,

  int    fogStart = -10, fogEnd = 2000;

And change these lines in the 'FUNCTION - INIT SHADER OBJECTS' section from:

   cShadowDensity[0] = 0.200f;
   cShadowDensity[1] = 0.175f;
   cShadowDensity[2] = 0.175f;

...or whatever they were set at, to,

   cShadowDensity[0] = 0.105f;
   cShadowDensity[1] = 0.105f;
   cShadowDensity[2] = 0.195f;

Shadow quality should improve noticeably.

@KO3bMA,

Unfortunately it doesn't seem to work with 6.50.
Probably because 6.50 is missing some critical shader instructions.

Why not install the latest version (7.22) of 3Drad? You can have both versions
installed on the same machine. Just name the 7.22 installation something like
3D Rad_722.

BTW, for 3Drad never include an '.' symbol in a folder name, i.e., 3D Rad_7.20!

In 6.50 many shaders work normally, but with shadows I did not work =(. Try to combine folders 6.50 and 7.22, what happens ....

Here's a small shader pack.

Nothing original or particularly usefull. This was mostly done as a learning experience.
Most shaders also include the original source for comparisons sake. This should make it
easier to understand how a 3dRad specific shaders are structured.

and various other sources around the internet.
I've also appended credits, where possible, to the shaders themselves.

you're welcome, mike.

I hope you guy's can find some use for these.
