You could ask the pros in the dark basic forum. I asked about glass there, got a lot of good answers. But I havent tried any to see if they work with fpsc.

they would work if you put it in the folder with other fx files. just go to the ultimate shader thread 2.0(link in old stickies at top) and get something there. i would say paralax mapping but im not sure how easily you could incorporate it into fpsc. i mean,not even dbp's set bump mapping on works for me,cuz my pc doesnt support shaders...

How come people say, their computers dont support shaders. Download the lastest direct x drivers. I have a 256 mb galaxy gforce 5200 card, I have no problems viewing any kind of shaders, in any games. I also believe, that the word shader, has become some thing people use, with out knowing what one is, or what they really do. I only know the ones from quake 3.

Windows have reflection maps.

You can also have shininess and illumination maps depending on the shader your model uses.

There's no way of describing how to use them without writing an essay.
Hopefully this aspect of FPSC will have better documentation one day.

Just have a good look at the media and .fpe files (to see what shader is being used) and try to figure it out, that's what I did.

This stuff is a bit advanced, especially if you've got no 3d experience.

Maybe you'd be better off figuring out the basics first if your still new.

instinct is more valuable than intelligence.....
