  7. Vertex Programming Languages OpenGL GLSL C-like language with some convenient C++ constructs Little language devoted to shaders (inspired by Pixar’s Renderman) Device/OS independent, as opposed to Cg or HLSL Direct access into OpenGL state including matrices • NVIDIA: Cg • Microsoft: HLSL • OpenGL: GLSL • ATI: RenderMonkey • Assembly Language • Register Combiners • Multipass Processing

  8. GLSL Vertex Shader GLcharvertexShaderCode = “ void main() { glPosition = gl_ProjectionMatrix*gl_ModelViewMatrix*glVertex; } “; GLuintvertexShaderObj = glCreateShader(GL_VERTEX_SHADER); glShaderSource(vertexShaderObj, 1, vertexShaderCode, NULL); glCompileShader(vertexShaderObj); /* Converts to GPU code */ GLuintprogramObj = glCreateProgram(); glAttachObject(programObj,vertexShaderObj); glLinkProgram(programObj); /* Connects shaders & variables */ glUseProgram(programObj); /* OpenGL now uses the shader */

  9. GLSL Variables Variable Types • Vectors • vec4 eye = vec4(1.0,2.0,3.0,1.0); • eye.x, eye.y, eye.z, eye.w • also eye.r, eye.g, eye.b, eye.a • Matrices • mat4 mv = glModelViewMatrix; • elements: mv[1][2] • mv[1] is a vec4 • mv * eye gives matrix vector product • Swizzling • eye.xz = eye.zx Variable Qualifiers • Const • Unchanged by the shader • Uniform • Set once per triangle • Set outside begin, end • Attribute • Set once per vertex • Varying • Interpolated across triangle

  10. Passing Variables GLcharvertexShaderCode = “ const amp = 0.1; uniform float phase; attribute float pos; void main() { glVertex.y += amp*sin(pos + phase); glPosition = gl_ModelViewProjectionMatrix*glVertex; } “; GLintphaseParam = glGetUniformLocation(programObj,”phase”); GLintposAttrib = glGetAttribLocation(programObj,”pos”); glUniform1f(programObj,phaseParam,time); glBegin(…) glVertexAttrib1f(posAttrib,x*z);
