external shader

[hardplayer]

Hello, i have a problem. I use Catia V5 R17 and I cant deal with shaders downloaded via internet. In tools->options->display-> I marked "enable openGL Shader". Shaders from Dassault Systems->...->startup->materials->metal->brushedMetal and BumpReflect work great. Shaders which I downloaded were .fx files. My graphic card: Ati Radeon Mobility 5650, directx 11, PixelShader 5.0. Please help, i dont have any idea how to cope with it. Sorry for my english.

This is a gaming card, not an Engineering card. Check at

for DS supported Graphics Cards.

CATIA uses OpenGL, not DirectX, so I would not expect CATIA to work properly, especially the rendering tools.

So why BrushedMetal.fx and BumpReflect.fx files work properly?
