Thank you so much for this very useful demo that allowed me to understand and see how the shader toolkit works! Now, changing some setting, I finally got my little lovely waves!

Interesting approach with the interface. I'll need to mull it over more.What I've actually done is create a separate scene for each character dialogue. So when you 'talk to' it sends paradigm to a new scene, and changes the outfit to a close up view. And calls an action with various other changes. The backgrounds with the shader is a good idea, if I knew about it earlier, I probably would of done it haha. ALTHOUGH few scenes I made unique backgrounds for specific purposes, so it wouldn't work for everything. Besides they're all set and ready anyway. Probably would only save like 10-20mb overall Really all I need the event handler to do is "quit action" on textStopped for the current NPC that is talking.Do you have any examples of register handlers working with textStopped I can look at?

Can the shader toolkit be used in games that will be put up for sell?

We've had openGL shader support for the past few versions of VS. Actually I think since the beta or first public build of VS 4. Simon has improved on the shader toolkit bit by bit for each new release.

I think last year I've posted the steps somewhere here. But no problem I'll write here again. What 3d software are you using? I'm using max and maya. My workflow below is for max1-) Model the character in T-pose (try not to work very hi-res). If your character is more then one object you need merge all the parts (Legs, head, torso etc..) into 1 mesh.2-) Also have the textures 1024x1024, higher resolutions have issues in Visionaire)3-) I used biped for rigging the character. Then skin and animate the character.4-) When the character is ready now we can export it to use in Vis.I use Alin Direct-X exporter (free-version). Download link: http://www.cgdev.net/download.phpExport settings;* In GENERAL TAB just select (scene root, material, bone, mesh, skin, animation). Leave all others unchecked!* In VERTEXT ELEMENTS TAB just select (Textcoords). Leave all others unchecked!* In TEXTURES TAB just select (Textures and overwrite). Leave all others unchecked!* In MULTIPLE UV SETS TAB. Leave all others unchecked!* In ANIMATIONS TAB. Write down your animations. Uncheck keyframes* In TIME LINE TAB. Uncheck 3ds max and select custom with the parameter 1.* In STANDARD material TAB. Uncheck all* In DIRECT X SHADER TAB. Uncheck all* In COORDINATE SYSTEMnTAB. Uncheck all (If model looks weird then try to check Right-handed)* X-File format should be text.5-) After the export, now you can import your 3d character into Vis from the characters options.6-) From the character outfit options, you need to adjust the camera settings to make your character fit in the scenes. For the scenes with different camera angles, you need adjust camera settings before the scene starts.
