hello all,
i have my channel shader and it return some pixel color value in output.
my question is: can i print shder resoult in a custom multipass buffer?
preaps i need to make a videpost plugin, but there are an example or some experience on this issue?
thanks

You have to do allocate a multipass buffer (VPBuffer) in a videopost effect. In your shader you access the buffer through Render::GetBuffer(VPBUFFER_POSTEFFECT,your_id). Use GetRenderInstance() to get the Render* pointer. I will try to put an example together.
cheers,

Here a simple example. Basically I allocate buffers in the videopost and store the pointers in the container of the videopost. I read out the container in the shader then and fill the buffer from within ShaderData::Output(). You could also use ExecuteLine() in the videopost to display the buffer on the fly.

Hi Matthias,
how would one go about using this technique for a volumetric shader and inside CalcTransparency()? It works fine with CalcVolumetric but CalcTransparency seems to have problems with this. Well, at least as soon as there are reflections involved. As there are no ray bits set it doesn´t make it easier. Any idea why Reflections affect Calctransparency (shadow calculations)?
thx
