Detailed Description

class RenderShaderParameter : public RED::Object, public RED::IChunkSaver

Variable parameter of a RED::RenderShader.

@related book bk_bm_custom_custom, task tk_adding_shader_parameter, class RED::RenderShader, book bk_ba_viewpoint_level_material_parameters

The RED::RenderShader class uses RED::RenderShaderParameter objects to define its contents and the way the elements are to be rendered. A render shader parameter may be of several types:

A shader parameter is identified through its name string uniquely in the RED::RenderShader it belongs to. It targets one of the three stages of the shader based rendering pipeline:

indicating that way the shader on which it must be bound.

A shader parameter is sent to the corresponding shader stage by its binding position, specified during the construction of the parameter. The binding position is a “program.local” constant number for vectors, colors, matrices and a texture channel number for an image, if we refer to the ARB shader specification.

Shader parameters values are copied from the provided inputs, except for images that are pointed to by their object addresses.

References are scene related parameters: main references are lighting and ray-tracing parameters. One can put references on parameters coming out from a light: its position, color, orientation and whatever else. A reference’s value is calculated purposedly, depending on the rendering configuration found. For example, a mesh that is lit by two different lights will be rendered twice with the light diffuse color, if a reference on a light’s diffuse color is used.

Matrices are bound row by row (with the line major convention for ARB programs and row major convention for GLSL programs) as shader parameter. 4 consecutive constants are used for the parameter binding in ARB.

Ray tracer values are special parameters: they are declared with a specific type (RED::RenderShaderParameter::TYPE::RAY_*) and are used during ray-tracer rendering passes.

All objects using the reference through their material are discarded for the cube image rendering. Please note that using this reference has a clear impact on rendering performances.

enumerator REF_AUTO_CUBE_MAP_CENTER

This value is similar to the RED::RenderShaderParameter::RAY_GLOSSY_ANGLE except that it defines a second angular value that can be used to define an anisotropic basis for the calculation of glossiness spreading.

enumerator REF_INSTANCE_COUNTER

Note that these values are modified by the engine anti- aliasing setting value used by the current VRL. The real viewport size is its pixel size times the engine anti-aliasing setup for the VRL that contains it.

x = 1.0f / Viewport pixel width.

y = 1.0f / Viewport pixel height.

z = Viewport pixel width.

w = Viewport pixel height.

enumerator REF_VIEWPORT_ORIGIN

(x,y,z,w) ARB or (vec4) GLSL. Origin of the lower left pixel of the viewport we are rendering into. This is the position of the lower left pixel of the viewpoint being rendered as it was anchored inside the VRL hosting it. Note that the engine may use many internal tiles to render a single VRL in separate pieces. The viewport origin is calculated relatively to the current origin of the VRL tile as expressed by the RED::RenderShaderParameter::REF_VRL_ORIGIN

reference. This reference value is to be subtracted from the fragment.position value when the coordinate of a pixel in the viewport are to be retrieved: viewport_coordinates = fragment.position - viewport_origin.

x = Viewport x origin.

y = Viewport y origin.

z = 0.0f.

w = 0.0f.

RenderShaderParameter()

RenderShaderParameter default construction method.

Builds a default render shader parameter with no data (RED::RenderShaderParameter::FREE) and an empty string name.

RenderShaderParameter(const RED::String &iName, int iBindingPosition, RED::RenderShaderParameter::TARGET iTarget)

RenderShaderParameter construction method.

Builds the shader parameter whose name is iName, and that targets either the vertex shader, geometry shader or pixel shader stage of the hardware rendering pipeline, according to iTarget.

Parameters
  • iName – Name uniquely identifying the shader parameter in the RED::RenderShader it’ll be added to.

  • iBindingPosition – Binding register or channel for the parameter.

  • iTarget – VSH (vertex) or PSH (pixel), according to the need.

RenderShaderParameter(const RED::RenderShaderParameter &iSource)

RenderShaderParameter copy construction method.

Parameters

iSource – Source of our contents.

RED_RC operator=(const RED::RenderShaderParameter &iSource)

Assignment operator.

Parameters

iSource – Source of our contents.

Returns

RED_OK if the operation has succeeded,

RED_ALLOC_FAILURE if a memory allocation has failed.

virtual ~RenderShaderParameter()

RenderShaderParameter destruction method.

inline void SetValue(const RED::Vector4 &iValue)

Sets the parameter value to a vector.

Parameters

iValueVector value for the parameter.

inline void SetValue(const RED::Vector3 &iValue)

Sets the parameter value to a vector3.

Parameters

iValueVector3 value for the parameter.

inline void SetValue(const RED::Matrix &iValue)

Sets the parameter value to a matrix.

Parameters

iValueMatrix value for the parameter.

inline void SetValue(const RED::Color &iValue)

Sets the parameter value to a color.

Parameters

iValueColor value for the parameter.

inline void SetValue(double iValue)

Sets the parameter value to a double precision floating point value.

Parameters

iValue – Double precision floating point value for the parameter.

inline void SetValue(bool iValue)

Sets the parameter value to a boolean.

The value is turned into 0.0f (false) or 1.0f (true) internally.

Parameters

iValue – Boolean value for the parameter.

inline void SetImage(const RED::Object *iValue)

Sets the parameter value to an image.

Images are not duplicated by the call.

Parameters

iValue – Image address. The provided pointer may be NULL. In this case the texture will be ignored by the rendering.

inline void SetReference(RED::RenderShaderParameter::TYPE iReference)

Sets the contents of the shader parameter to a reference.

Parameters

iReference – The parameter reference identifier.

inline void SetRayValue(RED::RenderShaderParameter::TYPE iReference, const RED::Vector4 &iValue)

Sets the contents of the shader parameter to a ray tracer value.

Parameters
  • iReference – The parameter type identifier.

  • iValue – The associated parameter value.

inline void SetCameraParameterValue(int iIndex)

Sets the contents of the shader parameter to a camera parameter index value.

Parameters

iIndex – The index entry that will be used to lookup the real parameter value in the camera list. A camera parameter value is set using RED::IViewpoint::AddRenderShaderParameter.

inline const RED::String &GetName() const

Gets the name of a shader parameter.

Returns

The shader parameter name.

inline RED::RenderShaderParameter::TYPE GetType() const

Gets the type of a shader parameter.

Returns

The shader parameter type.

inline const RED::Object *GetValue() const

Gets the value of the shader parameter.

The returned parameter should not be modified.

Returns

The value of the shader. The method may return NULL if the shader parameter has no value.

inline int GetCameraParameterValue() const

Gets the index of a parameter set as a RED::RenderShaderParameter::REF_CAMERA_PARAMETER.

Returns

The index value stored in the parameter. -1 is returned if the parameter is not a RED::RenderShaderParameter::REF_CAMERA_PARAMETER reference. A camera parameter value is set using RED::IViewpoint::AddRenderShaderParameter.

inline RED::RenderShaderParameter::TARGET GetTarget() const

Gets the current target of the shader parameter.

Returns

The shader stage targeted by the shader parameter.

inline int GetBinding() const

Gets the binding position of the shader parameter.

Returns

The (int) register position / channel where to bind the parameter.

virtual RED_RC Save(RED::IStream *iStream, RED::StreamingPolicy &iPolicy, int iState = -1) const

Saves the object content as one or more chunks in the given stream.

Parameters
  • iStream – Pointer to the stream where the data must be saved.

  • iPolicy – Reference to the streaming policy to be used.

  • iState – Optional state number parameter at which the data to be saved must be retrieved. Default is set to 0 (for current state).

Returns

RED_OK on success,

RED_FILE_WRITE_ERROR on a file write error (if iStream is a file stream),

RED_ALLOC_FAILURE on a memory allocation error,

RED_FAIL otherwise.
