@Josh_Arldt: Any chance of posting a demo .

Did anyone ever get this shader to work?

I followed this post, but when I tried to add Matt's ASM code to the .fx file I got errors.

If no-one has done it, is anyone here capable of doing it? I'd be prepared to pay a commission for a working projection shader.

i know this one is old, but...
i tried the shader and i get it to work that its always infront of the camera. but how can i let it project just down from the top? I replaced the positions with a model but that doesnt work either:




entity* ptrproject;

action projector
{
my.invisible = on;
my.passable = on;
ptrproject = me;
}



material* tempMat;

action actProjector
{
var saveCamX[3];
var saveCamAng[3];

while(!ptrproject) { wait(1); }

my.material = matProjector;

while (1) {

vec_set(saveCamX.x, ptrproject.x);
vec_set(saveCamAng.pan, ptrproject.pan);

vec_set(ptrproject.x, my.x);
vec_set(ptrproject.pan, my.pan);

tempMat = my.material;

mat_set(tempMat.matrix, matView);

vec_set(ptrproject.x, saveCamX.x);
vec_set(ptrproject.pan, saveCamAng.pan);

wait(1);
}
}

okay it works now with a second view. but now i need more than one "picture" to be projected, too Is there any way to do that?

EDIT: and how can i add it to more entitys ? It only works for one model now...

Render on a quad model and use it as view entity.

I'm trying to create water caustics for an ocean floor -- hs anyone on this thread had further success or made newer versions of the projection shader?

Hi, thanks Orange Brat-- yup already got the caustics animation rendered!

That might work.. hm tho its a large scene with many objects.. problem is that the surface is one of those large multi-texture mdl terrains.

Hi, excuse my bad English!
I also try to use the "Projection Shader" but I don't succeed!
Is there an example scene where someplace the Shader is used?

Still am on the search for an example script of ´Projection Shader´!
Can somebody help me along?
I would like to make a flashlight with that like in the game FarCry.
