Detailed Description

A shader modifier can modify uniforms, in/outputs and glsl code of vertex and fragment shaders. This is useful for global effects like shadow mapping and depth peeling, where only little changes in code are necessary.

Usage:

  1. Derive a new subclass of ShaderModifier and implement necessary modify functions.
  2. Allocate a static instance of your modifier and register it to ShaderProgGenerator to get it's modifier-ID
  3. Create ShaderProgGenerator with a bitwise combination of modifier IDs to activate them.

Example:

// First modifier
class VertexShaderModifier1 : public ACG::ShaderModifier {
public:
void modifyVertexEndCode(QStringList* _code) {
_code->push_back("// Vertex End Code Modifier begin");
_code->push_back("< Some glsl code > ");
_code->push_back("// Vertex End Code Modifier end");
}
static VertexShaderModifier1 instance;
};
// Static instance required!
VertexShaderModifier YarnVertexShaderModifier::instance;
class VertexShaderModifier2 : public ACG::ShaderModifier {
public:
void modifyVertexEndCode(QStringList* _code) {
_code->push_back("// Vertex End Code Modifier 2 begin");
_code->push_back("< Some glsl code > ");
_code->push_back("// Vertex End Code Modifier 2 end");
}
static VertexShaderModifier2 instance;
};
VertexShaderModifier2 VertexShaderModifier2::instance;

To use the modifiers, you have to register them to the shader generator:

// Register the modifiers
ACG::ShaderProgGenerator::registerModifier(&VertexShaderModifier::instance);
ACG::ShaderProgGenerator::registerModifier(&VertexShaderModifier2::instance);
// Use them via the shader cache
GLSL::Program* prog = ACG::ShaderCache::getInstance()->getProgram(&shDesc,(VertexShaderModifier::instance.getID() | VertexShaderModifier2::instance.getID() ));

unsigned int ACG::ShaderModifier::getID ( )
inline

Returns the modifier ID.

Returns
Id of the modifier

ShaderModifier * ACG::ShaderModifier::loadFromFile ( QString  _filename)
static

Load a modifier from file.

Shader Mod text file format:

The file can begin with a glsl version directive (optionally): #version glsl_version

The rest of the file contains glsl code blocks, which are separated by keywords. Each keyword must be at the beginning of a line. Furthermore they end on a colon ':'. The keyword defines the meaning of the following code block.

IO code blocks are specified by the keywords: VertexIO:, TessControlIO:, TessEvalIO:, GeometryIO: and FragmentIO:

example

VertexIO: in vec3 customInputName; out vec3 custumOutputName; uniform vec4 param0;

Shader code modifications are done via the keywords: VertexBeginCode:, VertexEndCode:, FragmentBeginCode: and FragmentEndCode:

The returned modifier should not be deleted manually.

Parameters
_filenameabsolute or relative (from shaderdir) file name
Returns
pointer to shader modifier, 0 if loading failed
