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.
– Compile shaders with shader model 1.1 to 3.0.
– Do vector math in tangent space or world space.
– Supports normal maps positive and negative Y.
– Support for both Y up and Z up environments.
– Shader performance and instruction count report.
– Export to: XNA, FXComposer, Quest3D, Virtools,
Ogre, DXSAS, CGFX and more.
– Create a whole world of shaders in one workspace.
– Insert custom HLSL code into the node tree.
– Multi-subobject material support.
– Entire creative process happens in one program.
– And much more…
Warning: Be sure to scan all the downloaded files with your Antivirus and if there is an executable or installer file, make sure to have your antivirus active and open in the background while installing or running the app. Some of the materials posted here are downloaded from CGPeers, So they could potentially have something injected in them.
We always ask bloggers to scan all the files before publishing the posts, but sometimes it's hard to detect all these things, so if you found anything suspicious (Not false positive, Generic, Patcher, Riskware and Heuristic results, most patches could get false flags like that by some Antivirus companies.) be sure to post comments with the file name and a VirusTotal report result link or the file MD5 Hash (higher than 30% overall positive result). Thank you.
why did you upload it to rapidshare?
shaderFX is for free – you can download it on the official site too
and why version 1.56??? – the actual version is 3.12!
This is not the free version …….
And the full one is $ 249.00
and what’s the difference?
and it does not change the fact that this is a pretty old version
The free version is the same as the paying version. Shaderfx is free for non-commercial use and for companies of 2 employees or less.
Oh you?r right i haven?t seen that.

Do any one need new tutorials
contact me or email 0094112700854 , prabathzcore@yahoo.com
I will send links or paste those to cg-persia
bye………
“for 3ds max”
you’re very specific! maybe its for 3ds max 6, and nobody will know
thanks arsehole
You could just go to their website and find out for yourself LOL LOL.
@Cg3dManiac Thanks for the effort; we all make mistakes. And you turned me on to a really nice program that I never knew about.
Please, max 2010 version…
