Is there any way of applying shaders in Dark Basic?

Shaders are normally tools you get in 3d modellers. Look for trueSpace3, that have some shader options.

Make your own, either by making your own rendering engine, or by making a shader that generates a texture to be mapped onto the object/s in question.

I think a rendering engine would either be a nice clean thing written in C++/Delphi/somethinlikethat or a DB program that allows you to set up various things like lighting and loading and positioning objects. You would then have the shader in a texture file and when the user used the apply shader option you would texture the shader onto the appropriate object.

trueSpace is pretty easy for general texturing purposes, you can just click apply procedural <whatever> shader and it will save the shader in a .dds file, which can be read by DB.

it depends on wot the shader does
a 2d cartoon-like one might take a picture of *JUST* the object,
turn it completely bright-blue or something
and just paste the new pic
