AnthonyPython Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 I am having problems with getting a couple of shader's to work in leadwerks, uh there just not working, I am not sure if it is just my side or if they just don't work. (as they work in shadertool) one of them is a edge glow and the other is a fullscreen fake 3d shader(http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=353301645) to use for my menu, be great for any help.

Josh Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 It sounds like the author probably has an Nvidia card and didn't test on ATI, which tends to catch errors Nvidia ignores silently.

macklebee Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 well just looking at the edge glow shader code briefly, the uniforms/varying args look more like a combination of shadertoy.com and the shadertool rather than what is inherent to leadwerks. I thought there was some sort of export to LE variables for shadertool?

AnthonyPython Posted February 11, 2015 Author Share Posted February 11, 2015 @macklebee there is, I used the leadwerks effect node which should export it to leadwerks correctly (and yes the edgeglow is from shadertoy, and modified to work in shadertool, (but it should have been converted to work with leadwerks) Quote OS: Windows 7 Processor: AMD A6-3420M APU integrated Radeon HD Graphics 1.50 GHz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AnthonyPython Posted February 13, 2015 Author Share Posted February 13, 2015 Update: I have reported this clearly broken node (all it seems to do is copy and paste into a .shader which doesn't work) And they are isolating this problem to fix this issue they are aware of this problem now, they didn't know this was problem due to no one has reported this to them about anything on the leadwerk node until I have. I hope they get this fixed as there some great shader's on shadertoy I would love to use.

AnthonyPython Posted February 13, 2015 Author Share Posted February 13, 2015 Got another reply: Hello, we have found the issue and we have fixed it. An update will be available next week together with a lot of new nodes and new functionality. We also will add some example Leadwerks templates to ShaderTool so you can see how to make it Leadwerks conform as you need to use typical Leadwerks semantics in ShaderTool to get it running in Leadwerks - actually that was one failure in your project but we had also issues regarding post processing in Leadwerks - but it is fixed now. Hope you will change your mind about our support as we almost react instant on custommer requests but some bugs may take a few days until fixed Have a nice day, too Thx, Stefan Quote OS: Windows 7 Processor: AMD A6-3420M APU integrated Radeon HD Graphics 1.50 GHz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadmar Posted February 14, 2015 Share Posted February 14, 2015 Here is a working copy of your shader in LE (had to see what it looked like): edgeglow.zip Quote HP Omen - 16GB - i7 - Nvidia GTX 1060 6GB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SlipperyBrick Posted February 14, 2015 Share Posted February 14, 2015 Just to be clear and clarify something I would like to know. The Leadwerks node in ShaderTool. What does this do exactly? It may be a stupid question but. Let's say I see a shader on something like ShaderToy.com and I copy and paste the code and do my edits with the nodes etc. Using the Leadwerks node on my shader in ShaderTool, would that change all the code I used from ShaderToy.com to work with Leadwerks? Rather than me having to go through the code and change it all manually to work with Leadwerks? As far as I was aware I just thought that the Leadwerks node in ShaderTool exports your shader as a .shader file to be compatible with Leadwerks. I really need to learn this shader business but don't know where to start Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadmar Posted February 14, 2015 Share Posted February 14, 2015 The Leadwerks node in ShaderTool. What does this do exactly? Rename files from .fx to .shader? I have no idea, I don't have the tool.

(they did have trouble with post processing effect's in leadwerks) Rename files from .fx to .shader? I have no idea, I don't have the tool. Basically when it comes down to it ATM Also Thanks Shadmar your great Quote OS: Windows 7 Processor: AMD A6-3420M APU integrated Radeon HD Graphics 1.50 GHz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gonan Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 My shadertool just got updated today, so read through the details to see what has changed, and the makers of Shadertool are about to finalise their build, they would like to know if anyone has problems using their tool with Leadwerks to let them know, presumably by posting on their steam, shadertool, discussions site.

Einlander Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 In shadertool create a leadwerks template node. the Leadwerks fs,PS template has what looks to be a boilerplate diffuse shader with 1 texture. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I Already know about the leadwerk effect node, but all it does is copy/paste the code you feed it, so even if it works in shader tool, it doesn't mean it will work in Leadwerks so it's not as easy to just copy and paste.

Einlander Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 There seems to bee a roll back in Shader tool. The feature I was talking about is now missing. I'm putting something on steam to help them out. It use to be copy and paste. http://steamcommunity.com/app/314720/discussions/0/618453594747407982/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gonan Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 Another update of ShaderTool today 17th Feb.. amongst other details were these. NEW FUNCTIONALITY: - Post-Effects support for Leadwerks engine - Save contents of rendertarget to file (right click into rendertarget node to open save as file dialog) - Effect templates for all possible shader combinations, also for Leadwerks engine (you can find them when creating a new effect node) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Einlander Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 Note the Leadwerks Ps,Vs shader will be red in Leadwerks if you don't make some changes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
