Xeffects: finding shader files

3DModelerMan · Post by **3DModelerMan** » Sun Jan 25, 2009 7:01 pm

I want to use Xeffects in my game. The problem is that since it is shader based, and I need the HLSL files to be loaded by it for the shaders to work. I don't know how it finds the shaders without the Xeffects SDK being included in my project. Do I have to open up the source and change the paths to suit my project?

There is a shader directory string param in the constructor, so you don't actually have to change the strings one-by-one.

Thanks for the help. I didn't see the constructor area.
