Fernando tutorial, as I am really interesting in these types of shaders. I am not super knowledgeable on them, but I did read through a few articles he wrote so I'm not day 1. The issue is that every time I run through this tutorial, it seems like the shader simply will not apply to the object. I am pretty sure that I have followed Fernandos code precisely, so why is this happening? If this is what is actually happening. Or is it just a stupid bug I missed? Does this have something to do with the update from max 7 to max 8? Here is my code, if you could help me get past this basic hurdle I'd appreciate it!

I just downloaded GL3 and tried it, it didnt change it. The video I am following was released 10 months ago though so I do not think so.

Alright for reference, I just deleted all of my comment code within the shader and the shader started working. The correct formatting for comment code is //, right? Is there any reason this would break the program?

Okay, it randomly started working for absolutely no reason.

You restarted after updating to GL3 yes ? If not that may have been the fix.

Beware though - I've been having big issues with GL3 on non Nvidia graphics cards, so if other things break you may need to revert

I have the same problem but I'm on apple silicon. Research says that Open GL has been deprecated but apple still supports it so not sure how to get it to show the vertices as seen in the tutorial. I landed here

Apple deprecated their OpenGL a few years ago, but they still support it. Both gl2 and gl3 engines are fully supported on Apple silicon and Big Sur using either rosetta or native launch.

the OP's attached shader file is not valid (the comment in the XML for starters), so it's hard to know what isn't working or how I can be of assistance. If you remove the invalid XML comment, you can start going through the error messages reported in the Max console to fix things.

Hey ! The tutorial has an updated version (gl3) that works with apple silicon!
