Shader does not apply to mesh ?????

[cu_khoai_ha]

Hi all,

I have a Phong Shader (.FX file) generated with FX Composer.
My code loads shader:

PhongShader.CreateFromEffectFile("phong.fx");
pMesh->LoadTVM("ball.tvm");
pMesh->SetShader(&PhongShader);

The statements "CreateFromEffectFile" return true, but with or without it the ball has no change. I think the shader didn't applied to the mesh. Can someone explain about this error?

Does anyone has code about apply Phong Shader in TV3D 6.5? I searched but the TV3D Wiki Page was down (((((

Remove the &.

Edit:

Well, also of course.

CTVShader *PhongShader;

Offcourse I have the code "CTVShader PhongShader;" before.
I use C++ not C#, it's compiled ok. "&" is nessesary for pointer!!!!!!

Code:

CTVShader PhongShader;

Is not the same as:

Code:

CTVShader *PhongShader

I don't use C# either.

Example:

Code:

CTVShader *m_Shader;

//--

m_Shader = m_Scene->CreateShader("bah");
m_Shader->CreateFromEffectFile("shader.fx");

m_Mesh->SetShader(m_Shader);

& is for taking an address.

Hehe, same discussion i had with someone in my class. If it compiles, it doesn't always mean it's working.

bool DoesGodExist()
{
   return false;
}

compiles just fine, but depends on the outcome you want to hear if it's really working

Also could be you are using the wrong semantics if you just look the shader straight from FX Composer and did not convert the semantics from whatever FX Composer uses to what TV3D uses.
