Shader Idea - Textures

[MechatheSlag]

Would it be possible to make a pixelshader that would append a texture (an image) to the current object, and then you could specify whenever to keep transparency or not?
That'd be really cool

Thanks in advance!

It's currently impossible to have a texture parameter in a MMF2 pixel shader.

It would be cool though with some algorithmic textures generated by the pixel shader. That should be possible, right?

Heh, not that I need it for anything really, it would just be cool to see :crazy:

Even if there was, you can't simply read images, can you? I read about this once, afair you have to pass the canvas from c++ to the shader.
Nifflas: ya, that's pretty easy.

textures would be pretty awesome, especially for alpha maps... or other things like saturation or brightness maps
