It would be cool from the fact that if you download rendermonkey there are many shaders already done like fur, NPR that outlines the object and a few other. Can this be a feature in ts7.5?

Can this be a feature in ts7.5? you cannot directly import rendermonkey materials, but if you know hlsl it shouldn't be problem to alter vertex/pixel shaders even in 7.1 to get npr or fur; there is only problem that you have not render target / cube maps support yet. Post by trueBlue // Apr 29, 2006, 3:12pm trueBlue Total Posts: 1761 There are fx files within trueSpace directories. How are these used with trueSpace? I really do not understand the rsitem files either. The only thing that comes to my mind is that they are used for the text and maybe icons in the libraries.

If this is true, then why are the object.rsitem file's size larger?
