Right, I have a 30 day trial version of 3D GameStudio so I have access to shaders. If all goes well I was told by support I can buy an A8 com licence to unlock my A7!! I have already tested the pp_bloomblur.fx and it works! My question now is what's the best Bloom blur shader around? I have been looking but keep getting dead links. I need one that is compatible with c-script and looks better. Also I was reading that I can apply fake shadows through a post processing shader (shadow mapping) which would be much faster than stencil, is this true?

Thanks
