Shader FX artist friendly pixel shades for 3dsmax

I camew across this excellent tool for 3dsmax the other day that is easy to use and saves out FX files, Currently its HLSL only, But CG and GLSL is in the works.

It's a great tool for anyone like me that just can't get into shader programming, it has a nice simple flowchart UI from within 3dsmax with realtime update in viewports.

It's not exactly cheap, but I figured people that can afford max can probably afford this plugin if they want to work with shaders.



Couple of videos that show you how it works
