I'm attempting to convert the XBDEV.NET Mosaic Shader for use in my XNA project and having trouble. The compiler errors out because of the half globals.
At first I tried replacing the globals and just writing the variables explicitly in the code, but that garbles the Output. Next I tried replacing all the half with float vars, but that still garbles the resulting Image.
I call the effect file from SpriteBatch.Begin().
Is there a way to convert this shader to the new pixel shader conventions? Are there any good tutorials for this topic?
Here is the shader file for reference:
