ok here is my question. i have my game and when ever the mouse moves over the main character model ,i want it to highlight.
i have achived this with the code below.

i am using the pixel shader provided with dbpro what id doed is hilight the character selscted by the mouse.

what i want is for the pixel shader to make the object selected "glow red" like objects in NWN.

so if anyone can make me one or tell me how to make my own pixel shader the help would be much appreciated.

Couldn't you just color object ob,rgb(255,0,0)? Or is the effect more complicated than that?

hmm... u could make an object slightly larger (and same shape) as the one u want to highlight, color it red, and ghost object on it....or maybe make a sprite over top of the 3D object and try that way (though this method isnt suggested) OR...u could bring the texture file into a CGI app. and apply red filters to it...and then when the mouse is over it...use set texture on it.

none of these would be considered 'good' methods...but they should work

TheDarthster - this option removes the objects texture so i dont like using it

MystikWarFox - nice suggestions but as u said not the best way arround it
i have tried sphere mapping with a red testure and this is fine but there is no way to turn sphere mapping off so it does not work with in my finction
