With current IrrCg "release system" is some problems with different Irrlicht version, becaus *.lib file is build for one Irrlicht version. With new release I will put source code (now is clean, without comments, but is good for release) to archive and library I build only for official the latest version, so for Irrlicht 1.4 . Source code will solve problem with diffrent Irrlicht version

Thanks BlindSide and Virion. TODO list for version 0.7 now looks that:
* Multiple Render Targets Example
* Add XML scripts for Materials. Similar to Ogre material scripts.

Maybe You have any suggestion for next release 0.7?

Btw. Who can compile and test MacOSX version of IrrCg?

Hello Nadro,

your cg shader extention is really good.
I found a nice tool for creating cg shaders called FX Composer 2.
http://developer.nvidia.com/object/fx_c ... _home.html

It includes a software called mental mill.
Do you know if this CG shaders are running with your code ?

I tried it but it didn`t work. But i am no expert in cg shaders.

Thanx

Yes, all Cg and HLSL shaders work with irrCg

You can create shader with FX Composer 2 and use it in Irrlicht with IrrCg, but You have to exclude parameters from *.FX file to Shader CallBack "ICgShaderConstantSetCallBack"

Hello Nadro,

thanks ! That sounds really good .
It is a great thing that irrlicht now can use complex shaders.
Great !

I can't thank you enough for this work. I've been using RenderMonkey and GLSL for my shaders, but really wanting to play more with FX Composer since Nvidia's preset library is way superior to what comes with Rendermonkey. When found your stuff a few hours after your last post, and the site was down, I became severely depressed and almost jumped out the window while chewing on a handful of sleeping pills. Fortunately I was too fat to fit through the window and the pills turned out to be jellybeans, because I've got the lib now and can't wait to play with it tonight!

Big Thanks for good comments:) I am working now on version 0.7 and I plan add *.CGFX support in this version:) With *.CGFX usage of shader from FX Composer and NV Library will be very very easy:) Also option will be use XML style external file for all CallBack options:)
