ENERGYSHADER FAQ

What is EnergyShader?
EnergyShader is a Color/Transparency/Displacement shader for TrueSpace.

Is there a demo available?
A demo is now available for EnergyShader.
The demo limits the range of the avaiable variables.
The transparency and displacement functions have also
been removed.

What can I create with EnergyShader?
You can create animatable lightning, lasers, and even clouds!

What are the minimum requirements?
You must have TrueSpace 4.3 and either the Explorer or Standard version of ShaderLab,
Which is available from www.primitiveitch.com or as part of the ShaderPack from
www.caligari.com.

Where can I purchase EnergyShader?
EnergyShader can be purchased from GetSoftware.com for $10 U.S.

What is EnergyShader-Abomination?
To err is human. Sometimes these errors produce some interesting
results. In my attempts to improve EnergyShader, I've made
some interesting mistakes. Since these mistakes affect all
aspects of the Shader, I've decided to make these mistakes available
free of charge. Click on the images below to see what I created
with Abomination 1 & 2.

HINTS
* Use the Tool when doing animations.
* Add a Colored light to match the Color of your Energy Effect.
* For a Flat Plane, use Auto-Facet Shading
* For a Deformed Plane, use Smooth Shading
* For lasers, use 0 amplitude
* For lightning, use some turbulence.
* Use a (Black) Filter Transparency to get rid of the black
background.



Create Realistic Lightning without leaving Truespace! Great for Special Effects! Use a Single Flat/Deformed Plane for low Polygon count! You can use EnergyShader to make Clouds! EnergyShader can be used as a Displacement too!
Give 'em the evil eye! EnergyShader now supports fading on the U/V Coordinates! EnergyShader now supports random colors.
