SetObjectShaderConstantByName()
Oh wow how could I miss this command

I once made my own solution for that problem with drawobject()
Would love to know how Paul solved it !?

Thanks MikeMax
And I guess...yes there should be SetObjectMeshShaderConstantByName() and SetSpriteShaderConstantByName() then

For your problem...lets see
Hm there is no command for drawing the mesh or setting it invisible
Maybe you create a temporary mesh/object with your shader which you draw over the other object/mesh right before you render the scene

I have already answered this question here (some posts above).

MikeMax wrote: "1. with animated models, when the normal shader is applied, animations no longer works "

This is a similar problem to the fog. The animation is realized with a shader. If you use your own shader, then you override the automatically generated code.
A solution would be to write your own code for the bone animation. Or intigrate the existing code in the normalmapping shader.

Here is the standard code that agk generate.

Yes, it's a real need for me too !

The janbo's 3D shadow shader is a great good start but unstable and unusable actually in a "real" 3D environment for the moment.

And we need multiple pass shaders system to combine multiple shaders only when necessary (or an AppGameKit system to compile this "all-in-one shader" at project compilation according to object/mesh options (Bones animation + fog + 3D Shadow casting + normal/spec mapping + lightmapping... it's just an example of a real need !) .

yeah I think AppGameKit should at least include the default tested on all platform shaders.
so we get a head start and adjust and create extras but the default is a must.

@GolWofael the shader is really a simple tilt shift shader applying blur to the full screen, but increasing the magnitude of the blur the further away from the middle of the screen (in the y axis) the pixel is.

It's not a true DOF shader.

Text string, Image Buffer, Sprite Effect:

With different settings in the shader, you can get a lot of variations

// This one builds a starfield:
const float maskStr = 0.0125; // 0.0 - 1.0
const float vignetteStr = 0.0002; // 0.0 - 1.0
const float crtBend = 20.8;
const float crtOverscan = 0.21; // 0.0 - 1.0

Excellent Shaders Jack

And I believe baxslash 2d for the additive code

I modified the Lensflare and snow shaders by jack and added an additive blend of the background image rather than just use the noise this created
a background that could have a sun scroll down in the background adding a colour blend to the background sprite. Great for what I wanted a sunset
in 2d without the use of a quad image. I didn't change all that much to baxslashes awesome lensflare but now it does what I wanted and I have
commented the changes.

The summer.png that I use can be any 2d background image

The following allows you to switch between sun(lensflare) or snow

Ive been playing around with Blendmans texture blending code as I was hoping with modifications the gl_FragColor could be used to output a morphed texture
I believe averages the color between texture0 and texture1
so I end up with an image 50percent texture0 and 50 percent texture1.(correct me if I'm wrong but that's what I think I'm seeing)
my question is how could I add and averaging factor in the following so that it might morph 10percent if chosen 20percent or even 100 percent and totally replace
with the second texture

you could alter this line
Quote: "WriteLine(file,"gl_FragColor = (texture2D(texture0, uvVarying) + texture2D(texture1, uvVarying))/2.0;")"

This is where it's sets the 50% blend between each pixel colour.

ive changed the line
Quote: "Quote: "WriteLine(file,"gl_FragColor = (texture2D(texture0, uvVarying) + texture2D(texture1, uvVarying))/2.0;")""

to
gl_FragColor = (texture2D(texture0, uvVarying) + (2.0*.5*texture2D(texture1, uvVarying)))/2.0;

where .5 is a percentage that seemed to work

the main problem I was having was setting the variable from the program but I fixed that thanks
with the following which converts one texture to another gradually on an object

Why I'm sure you don't need to multiply it by 2, then divide by 2 at the end?

Thanks for your contribution. I have a question on your VR shader.
How would I adjust it so it would completely fill the screen top to bottom and left to right
in it's half of the screen?

Stab in the Dark software

I think it's a different technique they use...or the lens curvature is so small that you could ignore it ^^
I think they are doing the correction on vertex level.
It's faster because you don't have to process every pixel on screen like I do, even if you have to add some vertices's to your models to make a good illusion.
I think its on vertex level because if you hold an ruler at an edge of the hill model, you can see that it is straight... that's why you don't notice the lens correction.
So it's not a perfect solution like the per fragment one, but in some cases a much faster one...ofc. you need a game art that fits well to that kind dependence...
Mobile VR apps tend to make it kind of polygon style with only face colors and no textures and so on.

[Edit]
You could probably zoom out, apply the shader and then take a smaller area from the resulting render image which you then stretch to fit the borders.
You need to increase the resolution of the render image so it fits the device resolution after the procedure...
I only tested my lib on my Honor 8 with a cheap copy the of Google cardboard, but it works perfectly and I can't see the borders nor I get ill...

I changed this line in your shader to this value and just set the center to 0.0



It seems to be working well for my tzumi Dream Vision head set with my LG Stylo 3.
The screen resolution on the LG Stylo 3 is 1280 x 720.
Are the other shaders in your demo deprecated as part of the development process?

Well,
Now you have nearly no lens correction.
You could probably remove the shader...
I have read that the lens of your Dream Vision does have a focal length of 42mm and the Cardboard lenses have 45mm, so you should have a higher curvature...
You should increase the alpha variable instead.

Quote: "Are the other shaders in your demo deprecated as part of the development process?"

sort of ...you can probably make them all work again... as they was working once ...

You are correct, I still need the barrel distortion to compensate for the lenses.
0.2 seems to be correct for my lenses. I found that if I change this line in the shader
it keeps the barrel distortion but creates a larger image to fill the screen so I can not see
the edges in the viewer. I changed the 1.0 - alpha to 1.18 - alpha. Do you think this is correct
or have I made a mistake again?

@Stab in the Dark software
No you are right that should work, but the center will get shifted and you might want to increase the render target size.
Actually its a pretty good finding

You can use the "BarrelDistortion#" value in the "VR_Init" function to increase the render target..just set it to 1.18 then

Even if its an unusual graphics card, the Quadro series is for rendering heavy stuff and I doubt that NVIDIA didn't got it right.
If you are a bit familiar with glsl you could remove/shrink the shader to it's bare-bones step by step and see if it gets any better and where it fails.

You can even see the vertices of the sprite...very unusual stuff...maybe it's the card though
What happens if you have no lights ?

Yeah I will try to strip it down. I have a bit of shader knowledge so it should be possible. Let's see. I'll try it on my other PCs as well but I guess it's a problem with the specific one here.

Ok fixed it. In your main shader there was the following:


So you use a not initialized variable called Light. This might work on many platforms but obviously mine is NOT initialized correctly with 0,0,0. Doing that fixed it:


Cheers!

Haha, I was about to say that you should try to initialize the Light variable, don't know why I did not
But I'm glad the problem is out of the way.
So why is it working for me...in other words: why is the Light variable zero and not pointing into nowhere ?

Well that's the "magic" of different compilers on different systems. You see even C++ does quite funny things with not initialized variables on some systems but not all of them. It's just not clearly defined so always dangerous.

2d Shader Primitives

Allows you to render 2d primitives without media.

This is a small lib to provide rendered, 2d primitives, even including a border.
You can also apply two images for the border/ fill aswell as a simple color.
You can also set the fill to transparent to only use the borders. It renders images in any size,
so it also should be pixel perfect.

Thanks GarBenjamin,

there should be a better way to render the images, my current method brings some sync flickers as the images are rendered in the first frames with it.
I would be glad if you could create something based on this lib and post the image in your post

@ george++
Every intense calculation isn't mobile friendly but it is very much possible
I plan on releasing a 3D shader pack of useful game shaders and create one or more demos around it.
I can/will add my normal-mapping shader but I don't know when I can release it.
If you need some special shaders you can post your ideas ofc please.

But first I have another free shader for you guys.
I saw this thread today and here is my solution for it.

Masked Progressbar
Note that you can create any silhouette, it just depends on your mask.
You set the color with SetSpriteColor()

Like that one which often comes with a Toon shaders or like that in Borderlands ?
Just Added to my list

Also if Paul doesn't provide the possibility to pass tangents and bi-tangents to the shader attributes to create faster normal mapping for example
I may create a little lib for that also

Did you try this:
paste it above your sync()
This works best for convex objects


If you need something more advanced like glowing outline or something like in left 4 dead I might add it to the pack
