Shader FX is a full-featured real-time shader editor for 3ds Max. It allows artists with no previous programming experience to build complex HLSL or CG FX shaders.
These shaders can be used inside the 3dsMax viewport, game engines or real-time (architectural) visualization.
Built inside 3ds Max, it offers a gradual learning curve.
Once you’re happy with your results, you can use your shader in the 3ds Max viewport, or you can export your shader in the popular HLSL or CG FX format for use in other applications and game engines.
With Shader FX, artists no longer depend on external applications to get the effects they want. Finally artists have a tool that enables them to create stunning real-time shaders quickly and easily, and gives full control over the appearance of their real-time models. ShaderFX’s powerful schematic interface lets you quickly assemble shaders that support complex effects such as parallax mapping, fresnel fall-off, and cube map reflection, all by simply connecting nodes together.
Your shader progress is displayed and updated in 3ds Max’s viewport as you build the shader so you can always see your results in real-time.
