ShadowShader in RenderMonkey

This is my second dabble in HLSL and this time it was just for personal reasons. I wanted to create a shadow effect for a 2D game that we are developing for our group project. Its actually very hard to find any resources on the internet about this but i did stumble accross one resource (which i have now lost the link to) where someone has created a basic shadow effect purely in shaders.

So i decided to have a go and this was the outcome. In the end however its too slow to be used in the game but serves as a usfull learning tool when the hardware catches up.

To view this you will need to download RenderMonkey.

Particles in RenderMonkey

Well in my final year at university we have been working on shaders. I decided to concentrate on particles as it ties in nicely with my final project (more on that to come).

This is my first little dabble with the excellent shader creation tool, RenderMonkey. To view this you will need to download the free app.

This was acually a peice of work for one of my modules so the .zip file contains the written report too.
