I’ve searched all round the net and I can’t find any Photon Volume input compatible shader. I’ve read about some old presets called xPhysics, but I can’t find them. Is there any way to get, for example, volume caustics?

Thanks.

Well, I’ve tried to do it by myself with the SDK manual, the Wiki and the Plugin Manager, and eventually I’ve ended up with a SPDL and a shader preset. As I don’t know the parti_volume_photon shader code (of course not!), I haven’t compiled the DLL (it would be silly) and I’ve done a little search. Actually the shader is written in the physics.dll shader library, so I’ve edited the [Plugin] bloc in the SPDL so that now it looks up for the correct DLL. But it’s not working, and I don’t know why.

Any ideas? Am I doing something wrong? (I suppose so)

Could someone help me, please? Just for avoiding mistakes, all I want to get (well, not all in my life but for now it would be nice) is this:

All right, I’ve found the shaders I was looking for at Tek2Shoot, but they aren’t working as I expected… Well, at least I got the shaders! Now it’s all about tweaking and making lots of tests.
