Does Max support tessellation inside a vertex shader?

Does Max support tessellation inside a vertex shader?
Any examples of this?
Thanks a bunch!

I'm not familiar with tessellation inside a vertex shader. A vertex shader works on only itself and doesn't have knowledge of its neighbors.

You might be able to achieve *some* of the effect with a combination of vertex, geometry, and fragment shaders (max supports all of them). Particularly a geometry shader.

Max 6.1 and earlier do not support tessellation shaders. They only supportGLSL is 1.2. You might be able to get features of higher levels of GLSL using the "#extension GL_xxxxx : enable" statement in a shader.

Thanks you very much. I'm not an expert in Shader writing, but wanted to know the perspective of working with shaders in max, since I'm learning to write these over time. What you said was quite helpful.

Again, I'm not an expert, but since you seem to be into this stuff: I read an atricle by Tamy Boubekeur in a book called GPU pro. This article is about a technique called Phong tesselation and there is an example vertex shader for it.
