Shaders

[Mann56]

Hello guys,

I was studying the shader examples, i understood the "simple" example, but i am finding it difficult to understand the second one, can someone help me, and i saw that there is a lot of difference in shaders used in shadertoy and mta, i can't get the hang of the proper syntax ad such....

I can't understand why we use things like "technique" whereas the simple language shaders are way easy....

Use the mta-helper.fx for some specific scripting references (for various Matrix structures): https://nightly.multitheftauto.com/files/shaders/mta-helper.fx

Thank you very, very much.... I'll look through all of the above mentioned, if i have any doubts I'd ask here

Btw, the Doppler Effect in MTA in your signature is also very great...

Thanks
