Wraiyth That Guy Who Does Those Things With The Stuff	Nice list, but FX Compose isn't for only nVidia cards. Might also want to throw OpenGL Shader Designer in there (for the GLSL programmers amongst us) Also, add some Programming tools (.NET 2005, Dev-C++) Are you going to include resource websites/packages? Because if so, throw in links to shader SDKs also. We need like an 'UBER LIST' that has everything (or something added to ModDB for people to search what they want, like free/retail utilities and resources) Edited by: Wraiyth -- My Homepage

Wraiyth That Guy Who Does Those Things With The Stuff	For shader SDKs, nVidia, ATI and Microsoft all have their respective SDKs on their websites (nVidia SDK, Radeon SDK and DirectX SDK) which all contain, amongst other things, alot of shader samples Renderosity and Turbosquid also contain free models (Renderosity especially has some awesome shit) -- My Homepage
