"Shade Your World" shading contest
Author
Yep. This is a new official NVIDIA/SoftImage/GameDev.Net contest - right for you, fellow gamedevers. Aren't we kind?
So, who's going to show us some master skills? [grin]
Hmm, it's definitly not the theme I expected. Expecially because I have no knowledge concerning shaders. It seems that gamedev forces us to keep up with the time. Ok, it is hardware dependant, but is it platform dependant, too? Do we have to use MS Windows, or am I allowed to stick with Ubuntu?

Your submission has to run inside FX Composer 2, which to my knowledge doesn't run on any platform other than Windows.
(BTW, this is not a replacement for 4E6. 4E6 will be running as well, in a few weeks).

I'm mildly interested in participating in this. I've got a plan on what I want to do, and it shouldn't be too hard to do.
This contest sounds interesting, except for my not being able to think of an original idea :-D

Unfortunately I've been unable to get FX Composer 2 to actually run (here). In the hope that somebody might glance at it from here, I'll do the repost thing:
I get the following errors:
If I then click ok I get the next error:

The link in my post points at a post I made there two days ago. No replies yet though.

If only my newest NVidia card wasn't a GeForce Go440 [grin] I don't suppose it will work (well) on ATI hardware?
