IntelliShade

[ZaPPZion]

Hi,

I couldn't find any posts about this, so i thought it would be good to share.
I recently joined the shader development scene, so i was looking for a program that could highlight HLSL stuff. Then i thought about the possibility that there was some kind of plugin for visual studio. I did some research, and found a decent plugin. It's called IntelliShade.
It isn't flawless, but it works, even with intellisense (not always the way you'd want it, but it works pretty well). It highlights the code, and it gives you options to choose from like you're used from intellisense.
There is 1 downside, you can't use it with the express versions, you'll need visual studio standard or professional edition. I was lucky to get it pretty cheap (through school), but i can imagine a lot of us are using the express edition.

Anyway, i thought i should share this: www.intelishade.net

Greetings,
ZaPP

This looks nice. What I use right now doesn't provide intellisense but has pretty good syntax highlighting :

It works well, and I prefer good simple highlighting to a "not quite flawless" plug-in.

Sorry for the archive digging.

Does anybody have a copy of this they can host up somewhere. Their website seems of dropped off the inet entirely and I no longer have my backup.

Thanks.

[ZaPPZion]

Yea, that'd be really neat if someone still has an installer, i lost it too i'm afraid 

[Eric]

Seriously, arius, you consistently win the award for most annoying sig picture...

(sorry to derail the necro'd thread)

[AriusEso]

Yea, I keep meaning to remove it. I'll do it now. 

[AriusEso]

Sorry to bump, but arg. We're not talking piracy here or anything peoples. This software increased my productivity by a good 25%, having HLSL within VS was a phenomenon. Please don't make me write another HLSL editor lol. If anybody has it, please, it's not a breach of copyright or anything, the software was free.

Thanks again ( last bump I promise, I just severly miss the boost to productivity this software afforded ).

Edit: Eric, lol. Also, I just realised. What do you mean by "consistently" ? -- up until now my sigs have always been small banners. I know the last one was big the second I saw it, but previous ones have been a good 10x smaller. Plus, also, do you have intellishade?!!!!.

[AriusEso]

On IRC, Lenn found this url: http://klaizard.tistory.com/archive/20080918

Can't thank him enough, posted this for others.

[ZaPPZion]

WOA! awesomesauce 
I'm glad Lenn found it, it saves a lot of time, not having to build an HLSL editor for VS

EDIT1: And i just noticed it's the 3.0 version as well! that's totally great, since that version is way better than the other <3.0 versions

EDIT2: I will ofcourse write an editor for VS when i have a D3D11 card, so it'll support HLSL 5

[Eric]

just in case...

BTW arius, I dunno what I meant by consistent, I guess I just dont like animated gifs in my forum threads

[AriusEso]

BTW arius, I dunno what I meant by consistent

Hehe, I did wonder. But I didn't want to ask.
