  1. Where does the Vertex Engine fit? Transform & Lighting Traditional Graphics Pipeline setup rasterizer texture blending frame-buffer anti-aliasing

  2. GeForce 3 Vertex Engine Vertex Program Transform & Lighting setup rasterizer texture blending frame-buffer anti-aliasing

  3. API Support • Designed to fit into OpenGL and D3D API’s • Program mode vs. Fixed function mode • Load and bind program • Simple to add to old D3D and OpenGL programs

  4. Programming Model • Enable vertex program • glEnable(GL_VERTEX_PROGRAM_NV); • Create vertex program object • Bind vertex program object • Execute vertex program object

  5. Create Vertex Program • Programs (assembly) are defined inline as • character strings static const GLubyte vpgm[] = “\!!VP1. 0\ DP4 o[HPOS].x, c[0], v[0]; \ DP4 o[HPOS].y, c[1], v[0]; \ DP4 o[HPOS].z, c[2], v[0]; \ DP4 o[HPOS].w, c[3], v[0]; \ MOV o[COL0],v[3]; \ END";

  6. Create Vertex Program (2) • Load and bind vertex programs similar to texture objects glLoadProgramNV(GL_VERTEX_PROGRAM_NV, 7, strelen(programString), programString); …. glBindProgramNV(GL_VERTEX_PROGRAM_NV, 7);

  7. Invoke Vertex Program • The vertex program is invoked when a vertex is given, i.e., when glBegin(…) glVertex3f(x,y,z) … glEnd()

  8. Let’s look at a sample program static const GLubyte vpgm[] = “\!!VP1. 0\ DP4 o[HPOS].x, c[0], v[0]; \ DP4 o[HPOS].y, c[1], v[0]; \ DP4 o[HPOS].z, c[2], v[0]; \ DP4 o[HPOS].w, c[3], v[0]; \ MOV o[COL0],v[3]; \ END"; O[HPOS] = M(c0,c1,c2,c3) * v - HPOS? O[COL0] = v[3] - COL0? Calculate the clip space point position and Assign the vertex with v[3] for its diffuse color

  9. Programming Model V[0] … V[15] VertexSource Program Constants c[0] … c[96] 16x4 registers O[HPOS] O[COL0] O[COL1] O[FOGP] O[PSIZ] O[TEX0] … O[TEX7] Vertex Program 96x4 registers R0 … R11 Temporary Registers 128 instructions 12x4 registers Vertex Output 15x4 registers All quad floats

  10. Input Vertex Attributes • V[0] – V[15] • Aliased (tracked) with conventional per-vertex attributes (Table 3) • Use glVertexAttribNV() to explicitly assign values • Can also specify a scalar value to the vertex attribute array - glVertexAttributesNV() • Can change values inside or outside glBegin()/glEnd() pair

  11. Program Constants • Can only change values outside glBegin()/glEnd() pair • No automatic aliasing • Can be used to track OpenGl matrices (modelview, projection, texture, etc.) • Example: glTrackMatrix(GL_VERTEX_PROGRAM_NV, 0, GL_MODELVIEW_PROJECTION_NV, GL_IDENTIGY_NV) • Track 4 contiguous program constants starting with c[0]

  12. Program Constants (cont’d) DP4 o[HPOS].x, c[0], v[OPOS] DP4 o[HPOS].y, c[1], v[OPOS] DP4 o[HPOS].z, c[2], v[OPOS] DP4 o[HPOS].w, c[3], v[OPOS] What does it do?

  13. Program Constants (cont’d) glTrackMatrixNV(GL_VERTEX_PROGRAM_NV, 4, GL_MODEL_VIEW, GL_INVERSE_TRANPOSE_NV) DP3 R0.x, C[4], V[NRML] DP3 R0.y, C[5[, V[NRML] DP3 R0.z, C[6], V[NRML] What doe it do?

  15. Data Path X Y Z W X Y Z W X Y Z W Swizzle Swizzle Swizzle Negate Negate Negate FPU Core Write Mask X Y Z W

  16. Instruction Set: The ops • 17 instructions total • MOV, MUL, ADD, MAD, DST • DP3, DP4 • MIN, MAX, SLT, SGE • RCP, RSQ, LOG, EXP, LIT • ARL

  17. Instruction Set: The Core Features • Immediate access to sources • Swizzle/negate on all sources • Write mask on all destinations • DP3,DP4 most common graphics ops • Cross product is MUL+MAD with swizzling • LIT instruction implements phonglighting

  18. Dot Product Instruction • DP3 R0.x, R1, R2 - R0.x = R1.x * R2.x + R1.y * R1.y + R1.z * R2.z • DP4 R0.x, R1, R2 - 4-component dot product

  19. MUL instruction • MUL R1, R0, R2(component-wise mult.) R1.x = R0.x * R2.x R1.y = R0.y * R2.y R1.z = R0.z * R2.z R1.w = R0.w * R2.w

  20. MAD instruction • MAD R1, R2, R3, R4 R1 = R2 * R3 + R4 *: component wise multiplication Example: • MAD R1, R0.yzxw, R2.zxyw, -R1 What does it do?

  21. Cross Product Coding Example # Cross product R2 = R0 x R1 MUL R2, R0.zxyw, R1.yzxw; MAD R2, R0.yzxw, R1.zxyw, -R2;

  22. Lighting instruction • LIT R1, R0(Phong light model) Input: R0 = (diffuse, specular, ??, shiness) Output R1 = (1, diffuse, specular^shininess, 1) Usually followed by • DP3 o[COL0], C[21], R1 (assuming using c[21]) where C[xx] = (ka, kd, ks, ??)
