How to get the resolution on godot spatial shader? - glsl

shader_type spatial;
void fragment ()
{
vec2 i_resolution = 1.0 / SCREEN_PIXEL_SIZE ;
...
//fragColor = ...;
COLOR = ...; 'Constants cannot be modified' And this is other problem on spatial shader
}
SCREEN_PIXEL_SIZE don't work on spatial shader? how to get the resolution?

As you have noticed SCREEN_PIXEL_SIZE does not exist in Spatial Shader (it exists in Canvas Shaders).
The equivalent of SCREEN_PIXEL_SIZE for Spatial Shaders is 1.0/VIEWPORT_SIZE. That is, VIEWPORT_SIZE = 1.0/SCREEN_PIXEL_SIZE.
Since 1.0/SCREEN_PIXEL_SIZE is what you want, you can use VIEWPORT_SIZE directly. It gives you size in pixels of the viewport (where the shader is being drawn, be it the screen, a window, or a texture).
Furthermore, if you are going to do FRAGCOORD.xy/VIEWPORT_SIZE, you can use SCREEN_UV instead. That is SCREEN_UV = FRAGCOORD.xy/VIEWPORT_SIZE. As you would expect, FRAGCOORD is the fragment coordinates in pixels, while SCREEN_UV gives you normalized coordinates (0 to 1).
By the way, if you don't want the material to depend on the position on screen, you may swap SCREEN_UV for UV.
By the way yes, I know SCREEN_UV says "screen" and not "viewport". Some naming can be confusing.
In your spatial shader you don't write to COLOR, you write ALBEDO and ALPHA instead. Godot will notice if you write to ALPHA or not, and take that into account for deciding render order (so potentially transparent materials are rendered after opaque ones).
Speaking of confusing naming…
mat4 ModelToWorld = WORLD_MATRIX; // Common name: Model Matrix
mat4 WorldToModel = inverse(WORLD_MATRIX); // Common name: Inverse Model Matrix
mat4 WorldToCamera = INV_CAMERA_MATRIX; // Common name: View Matrix
mat4 CameraToWorld = CAMERA_MATRIX; // Common name: Inverse View Matrix
mat4 ModelToCamera = MODELVIEW_MATRIX; // Common name: View Model Matrix
mat4 CameraToModel = inverse(MODELVIEW_MATRIX); // Common name: Inverse View Model Matrix
mat4 CameraToClip = PROJECTION_MATRIX; // Common name: Projection Matrix
mat4 ClipToCamera = INV_PROJECTION_MATRIX; // Common name: Inverse Projection Matrix
Please refer to Spatial Shaders, for the list of built-ins (including those mentioned above) and render modes.

Is it possible to use a shader to map 3d coordinates with Mercator-like projection?

The background:
I am writing some terrain visualiser and I am trying to decouple the rendering from the terrain generation.
At the moment, the generator returns some array of triangles and colours, and these are bound in OpenGL by the rendering code (using OpenTK).
So far I have a very simple shader which handles the rotation of the sphere.
The problem:
I would like the application to be able to display the results either as a 3D object, or as a 2D projection of the sphere (let's assume Mercator for simplicity).
I had thought, this would be simple — I should compile an alternative shader for such cases. So, I have a vertex shader which almost works:
precision highp float;
uniform mat4 projection_matrix;
uniform mat4 modelview_matrix;
in vec3 in_position;
in vec3 in_normal;
in vec3 base_colour;
out vec3 normal;
out vec3 colour2;
vec3 fromSphere(in vec3 cart)
{
vec3 spherical;
spherical.x = atan(cart.x, cart.y) / 6;
float xy = sqrt(cart.x * cart.x + cart.y * cart.y);
spherical.y = atan(xy, cart.z) / 4;
spherical.z = -1.0 + (spherical.x * spherical.x) * 0.1;
return spherical;
}
void main(void)
{
normal = vec3(0,0,1);
normal = (modelview_matrix * vec4(in_normal, 0)).xyz;
colour2 = base_colour;
//gl_Position = projection_matrix * modelview_matrix * vec4(fromSphere(in_position), 1);
gl_Position = vec4(fromSphere(in_position), 1);
}
However, it has a couple of obvious issues (see images below)
Saw-tooth pattern where triangle crosses the cut meridian
Polar region is not well defined
3D case (Typical shader):
2D case (above shader)
Both of these seem to reduce to the statement "A triangle in 3-dimensional space is not always even a single polygon on the projection". (... and this is before any discussion about whether great circle segments from the sphere are expected to be lines after projection ...).
(the 1+x^2 term in z is already a hack to make it a little better - this ensures the projection not flat so that any stray edges (ie. ones that straddle the cut meridian) are safely behind the image).
The question: Is what I want to achieve possible with a VertexShader / FragmentShader approach? If not, what's the alternative? I think I can re-write the application side to pre-transform the points (and cull / add extra polygons where needed) but it will need to know where the cut line for the projection is — and I feel that this information is analogous to the modelViewMatrix in the 3D case... which means taking this logic out of the shader seems a step backwards.
Thanks!

Rendering orthographic shadowmap to screen?

I have a working shadow map implementation for directional lights, where I construct the projection matrix using orthographic projection. My question is, how do I visualize the shadow map? I have the following shader I use for spot lights (which uses a perspective projection) but when I try to apply it to a shadow map that was made with an orthographic projection all I get is a completely black screen (even though the shadow mapping works when renderering the scene itself)
#version 430
layout(std140) uniform;
uniform UnifDepth
{
mat4 mWVPMatrix;
vec2 mScreenSize;
float mZNear;
float mZFar;
} UnifDepthPass;
layout (binding = 5) uniform sampler2D unifDepthTexture;
out vec4 fragColor;
void main()
{
vec2 texcoord = gl_FragCoord.xy / UnifDepthPass.mScreenSize;
float depthValue = texture(unifDepthTexture, texcoord).x;
depthValue = (2.0 * UnifDepthPass.mZNear) / (UnifDepthPass.mZFar + UnifDepthPass.mZNear - depthValue * (UnifDepthPass.mZFar - UnifDepthPass.mZNear));
fragColor = vec4(depthValue, depthValue, depthValue, 1.0);
}
You were trying to sample your depth texture with GL_TEXTURE_COMPARE_MODE set to GL_COMPARE_R_TO_TEXTURE. This is great for actually performing shadow mapping with a depth texture, but it makes trying to sample it using sampler2D undefined. Since you want the actual depth values stored in the depth texture, and not the result of a pass/fail depth test, you need to set GL_TEXTURE_COMPARE_MODE to GL_NONE first.
It is very inconvenient to set this state on a per-texture basis when you want to switch between visualizing the depth buffer and drawing shadows. I would suggest using a sampler object that has GL_TEXTURE_COMPARE_MODE set to GL_COMPARE_R_TO_TEXTURE (compatible with sampler2DShadow) for the shader that does shadow mapping and another sampler object that uses GL_NONE (compatible with sampler2D) for visualizing the depth buffer. That way all you have to do is swap out the sampler object bound to texture image unit 5 depending on how the shader actually uses the depth texture.

What is wrong with my shadow map implementation?

I'm trying to implement shadow mapping in my game. The shaders you see below result in correctly drawn shadows for the game's map, but all the models walking around on the map are completely black.
Here's a screenshot:
I suspect the problem lies with the calculation of the world position. The gl_Vertex is not transformed in any way. Because the map is generated with absolute world coordinates, the transformation with the light matrix results in a correct relative position that can be used to perform the shadow mapping.
However, my 3D models are all very close to the origin. So if their coordinates are plainly transformed using the light matrix, they will most likely never be lit.
I'm wondering if this could be the case, and if so, how I could fix it.
Here's my vertex shader:
#version 120
uniform mat4x4 LightMatrixValue;
varying vec4 shadowMapPosition;
varying vec3 worldPos;
void main(void)
{
vec4 modelPos = gl_Vertex;
worldPos=modelPos.xyz/modelPos.w;
vec4 lightPos = LightMatrixValue*modelPos;
shadowMapPosition = 0.5 * (lightPos.xyzw +lightPos.wwww);
gl_Position = ftransform();
}
And the fragment shader:
varying vec4 shadowMapPosition;
varying vec3 worldPos;
uniform sampler2D depthMap;
uniform vec4 LightPosition;
void main(void)
{
vec4 textureColour = gl_Color;
vec3 realShadowMapPosition = shadowMapPosition.xyz/shadowMapPosition.w;
float depthSm = texture2D(depthMap, realShadowMapPosition.xy).r;
if (depthSm < realShadowMapPosition.z-0.0001)
{
textureColour = vec4(0, 0, 0, 1);
}
gl_FragColor= textureColour;
}
I write this here because it will not fit above, i hope it will solve you problem.
For rendering you on the one hand have your models with their model matrix to position the element, on the other hand you have you view and projection matrix that transforms your model into the screen space.
For creating your shadow map (simplest approach, and i guess the one you have chosen) you render the scene from the view of the light source, so you apply the view and projection matrix of you light source, which will map the x, y and z value to screen space. The x and y values are for the position in the image, the z is for the depth buffer test and for the color you write in your color buffer (you later use as shadow map).
For the final rendering you load this shadow map and the view and projection matrix of the light to your shader. For the display in the scene you apply your view and project matrix of the camera to the vertexes, for the shadow map lookup you apply the view and projection matrix of the light to the vertex (like you did with the rendering for the shadow map). When you apply the lights view and projection matrix to the vertex you have the same mapping as in the shadow map pass, now you only need to transform your x and y coordinates to the texture coordinates and lookup the stored z value, which you compare with the calculated one.
Transforming the models world position into screen space (from the lights point of view)
This part is often done in the vertex or geometry shader:
shadowMapPosition = matLightViewProjection * modelWoldPos;
This is often done in the fragment shader:
shadowMapPosition = shadowMapPosition / shadowMapPosition.w ;
// Add an offset to prevent self-shadowing and moiré pattern
shadowMapPosition.z += 0.0005;
//lookup the stored z value
float distanceFromLight = texture2D(depthMap,shadowMapPosition.xz).z;
Now just compare the distanceFromLight with the shadowMapPosition.z to see if the object is in shadow or not.
So in your second pass you will do the steps of the shadow mapping again, except that you don't draw the data you calculated but compare it to the one you calculated in the pass before.

GLSL light/highlight moving with camera

VC++ 2010, OpenGL, GLSL, SDL
I am moving over to shaders, and have run into a problem that originally occured while working with the ogl pipeline. That is, the position of the light seems to point in whatever direction my camera faces. In the ogl pipeline it was just the specular highlight, which was fixable with:
glLightModelf(GL_LIGHT_MODEL_LOCAL_VIEWER, 1.0f);
Here are the two shaders:
Vertex
varying vec3 lightDir,normal;
void main()
{
normal = normalize(gl_NormalMatrix * gl_Normal);
lightDir = normalize(vec3(gl_LightSource[0].position));
gl_TexCoord[0] = gl_MultiTexCoord0;
gl_Position = ftransform();
}
Fragment
varying vec3 lightDir,normal;
uniform sampler2D tex;
void main()
{
vec3 ct,cf;
vec4 texel;
float intensity,at,af;
intensity = max(dot(lightDir,normalize(normal)),0.0);
cf = intensity * (gl_FrontMaterial.diffuse).rgb +
gl_FrontMaterial.ambient.rgb;
af = gl_FrontMaterial.diffuse.a;
texel = texture2D(tex,gl_TexCoord[0].st);
ct = texel.rgb;
at = texel.a;
gl_FragColor = vec4(ct * cf, at * af);
}
Any help would be much appreciated!
The question is: What coordinate system (reference frame) do you want the lights to be in? Probably "the world".
OpenGL's fixed-function pipeline, however, has no notion of world coordinates, because it uses a modelview matrix, which transforms directly from eye (camera) coordinates to model coordinates. In order to have “fixed” lights, you could do one of these:
The classic OpenGL approach is to, every frame, set up the modelview matrix to be the view transform only (that is, be the coordinate system you want to specify your light positions in) and then use glLight to set the position (which is specified to apply the modelview matrix to the input).
Since you are using shaders, you could also have separate model and view matrices and have your shader apply both (rather than using ftransform) to vertices, but only the view matrix to lights. However, this means more per-vertex matrix operations and is probably not an especially good idea unless you are looking for clarity rather than performance.

GLSL: How to get pixel x,y,z world position?

I want to adjust the colors depending on which xyz position they are in the world.
I tried this in my fragment shader:
varying vec4 verpos;
void main(){
vec4 c;
c.x = verpos.x;
c.y = verpos.y;
c.z = verpos.z;
c.w = 1.0;
gl_FragColor = c;
}
but it seems that the colors change depending on my camera angle/position, how do i make the coords independent from my camera position/angle?
Heres my vertex shader:
varying vec4 verpos;
void main(){
gl_Position = ftransform();
verpos = gl_ModelViewMatrix*gl_Vertex;
}
Edit2: changed title, so i want world coords, not screen coords!
Edit3: added my full code
In vertex shader you have gl_Vertex (or something else if you don't use fixed pipeline) which is the position of a vertex in model coordinates. Multiply the model matrix by gl_Vertex and you'll get the vertex position in world coordinates. Assign this to a varying variable, and then read its value in fragment shader and you'll get the position of the fragment in world coordinates.
Now the problem in this is that you don't necessarily have any model matrix if you use the default modelview matrix of OpenGL, which is a combination of both model and view matrices. I usually solve this problem by having two separate matrices instead of just one modelview matrix:
model matrix (maps model coordinates to world coordinates), and
view matrix (maps world coordinates to camera coordinates).
So just pass two different matrices to your vertex shader separately. You can do this by defining
uniform mat4 view_matrix;
uniform mat4 model_matrix;
In the beginning of your vertex shader. And then instead of ftransform(), say:
gl_Position = gl_ProjectionMatrix * view_matrix * model_matrix * gl_Vertex;
In the main program you must write values to both of these new matrices. First, to get the view matrix, do the camera transformations with glLoadIdentity(), glTranslate(), glRotate() or gluLookAt() or what ever you prefer as you would normally do, but then call glGetFloatv(GL_MODELVIEW_MATRIX, &array); in order to get the matrix data to an array. And secondly, in a similar way, to get the model matrix, also call glLoadIdentity(); and do the object transformations with glTranslate(), glRotate(), glScale() etc. and finally call glGetFloatv(GL_MODELVIEW_MATRIX, &array); to get the matrix data out of OpenGL, so you can send it to your vertex shader. Especially note that you need to call glLoadIdentity() before beginning to transform the object. Normally you would first transform the camera and then transform the object which would result in one matrix that does both the view and model functions. But because you're using separate matrices you need to reset the matrix after camera transformations with glLoadIdentity().
gl_FragCoord are the pixel coordinates and not world coordinates.
Or you could just divide the z coordinate by the w coordinate, which essentially un-does the perspective projection; giving you your original world coordinates.
ie.
depth = gl_FragCoord.z / gl_FragCoord.w;
Of course, this will only work for non-clipped coordinates..
But who cares about clipped ones anyway?
You need to pass the World/Model matrix as a uniform to the vertex shader, and then multiply it by the vertex position and send it as a varying to the fragment shader:
/*Vertex Shader*/
layout (location = 0) in vec3 Position
uniform mat4 World;
uniform mat4 WVP;
//World FragPos
out vec4 FragPos;
void main()
{
FragPos = World * vec4(Position, 1.0);
gl_Position = WVP * vec4(Position, 1.0);
}
/*Fragment Shader*/
layout (location = 0) out vec4 Color;
...
in vec4 FragPos
void main()
{
Color = FragPos;
}
The easiest way is to pass the world-position down from the vertex shader via a varying variable.
However, if you really must reconstruct it from gl_FragCoord, the only way to do this is to invert all the steps that led to the gl_FragCoord coordinates. Consult the OpenGL specs, if you really have to do this, because a deep understanding of the transformations will be necessary.
