Thanks !

NB:

1. All models except Meduza_01 contain certain effects whose plugin isn't available in my 3ds Max 2018.

2. FBX cannot reproduce model animations because skeleton bones aren't orientated correctly.

3. Meduza_04 lacks its texture.

Give me some time to convert...

Are you sure you don't need any more Shadertoy shaders? ;)

Indeed we need more, but the problem is to find some that would look good with our existing models.

The priority now is to use those already converted inside of OR, then we will be able to start writing our owns and/or customize more from the internet.

Now let's see what i could get out of it  :o

I think it's about time we have a dedicated shader to render transparent meshes with proper Fresnel reflection and refraction and chromatic aberration, accurate or simulated... ???

And it would be cool to keep transparent meshes in their own array to be able to depth sort them properly back-to-front when the model changes orientation. This would help us avoid using alpha-to-coverage so heavily as we do now. A2C dithers surfaces and makes them considerably less reflective and shiny than they would be if depth-sorted correctly and alpha-blended with a proper alpha threshold.

Reworked version to allow smooth rotation of all the meshes.

I think it would be nice, if we could save the zoom and the prefered orientation to use at startup.

Excellent, thank you very much! 8)

In fact, translation, rotation, and zoom are all one parameter -- the modelview matrix. :)
