This is a viewport shader i've been working on in the last few weeks. Some people asked me if they could have it, so I made this version with the most common maps. There are a number of known issues i have yet to fix, like the number of lights, the specular/glos settings.
How to use:
Open your material library, and instead of choosing a Standard material, choose a DirectX Shader. Keep old material as submaterial. Now browse to your fx file and apply the material to your model. Make sure that you have two omnilights in your scene, and that you set both of the in the shader, if not rendering will not be correct.
