write a shader for P3D v4

[bokdany 0]

Hi, I would like to change the color of a targeted material on an aircraft via a shader, is it possible to do this ? I precise that I don't want to use Lua script.
thanks for you reply.

Hi,

Adding shaders is pretty easy. P3D has a built-in shader compiler, so you don't have to bother with an IDE/compiler yourself. You can basically just drop your HLSL source code into the sim as an addon package.

A couple of shaders that handle textures are in "\Prepar3D v4\ShadersHLSL\FixedFunction" - I suggest that you take a look at those, maybe you'll find a suitable spot where you can add your own code with little effort.

Best regards

HI,

After I had read a lot of tutorials on HLSL and try few examples, I understand the structure of HLSL but don't understand how to use it in P3D v4, I precise that I'm unfamiliar with C++,   but I would like to write a dll to call my HLSL code, someone can help me ? 
Thanks by advance.
