hey all,
i am new with HLSL. i tried to simple rewrite one NPR Metallic shader from Wolfgang F. Engels “Shader x2 Introductions & Tutorials” in vvvv using the Template. It says NPR Metallic ships with RenderMonkey so i was not sure if this is working. Just tried, got the following error, could not solve that:
(41): error X3017: cannot implicitly convert from ‘float3’ to ‘float4’
question: is it possible to use such HLSL direct in vvvv and, if somebody got the muse to have a look at se code, am i completely wrong with that?
amicalement,
armin
