Multipass shader support

andrewdfrost · Post by **andrewdfrost** » Tue Feb 13, 2007 7:26 am

Are there any plans to implement multipass shader support in Irrlicht?

I am new to Irrlicht and I am trying to port an existing MDX project that uses a mulitpass shader. Unfortunatley it looks like I will be looking at other options than Irrlicht.

Look at sio2's multi-pass fur shader. Maybe that's what you're looking for (maybe not fur, but...)

Thanks, do you have a link to it?

Don't worry found the link from an earlier post. Thanks for your help.

Unfortunately these are executables only and no source code, which doesn't really help.

If anyone has any code for implementing multipass shaders in Irrlicht it would help soooooo much.

i work on a solution with dx effect files, but the api is broken in my engine dist of irrlicht in some simple cases.
is that a solution for u?
in an effect u can define multiple shader. ps/vs
it works but cur without texture shader. i work on it

Just render the mesh again with the secondary meshes on ALPHA_ADD material, thats all what multipass is.
