GLSL Tutorial 9 Shader Introduction

This document discusses shader programming and provides examples of vertex and fragment shaders. It explains that shaders allow parallel processing of graphics data and improved programmability compared to earlier OpenGL pipelines. Sample shaders are provided to demonstrate per-pixel lighting using varying variables to pass data from vertices to fragments, and built-in values are discussed for attributes, uniforms, and standard output variables. Basic GLSL types and functions are also outlined.

Simple example
Per-pixel lighting

Vertex shader
varying vec3 normal, color, pos;
void main()
{
color = gl_Color.rgb;
normal = normalize(gl_NormalMatrix * gl_Normal);
pos = vec3(gl_ModelViewMatrix * gl_Vertex);
gl_Position = gl_ModelViewProjectionMatrix * gl_Vertex;
}

Vertex shader
varying vec3 normal, color, pos;

uniform (prog. to vertex, per primitive)


attribute (prog. to vertex, per vertex)

varying (vertex to fragment)


void main()
{
color = gl_Color.rgb;
normal = normalize(gl_NormalMatrix * gl_Normal);

pos = vec3(gl_ModelViewMatrix * gl_Vertex);


gl_Position = gl_ModelViewProjectionMatrix * gl_Vertex;
}

10

Vertex shader
varying vec3 normal, color, pos;

int, float, bool (basic types)


vec2, vec3, vec4 (2,3,4d vector)

mat2, mat3, mat4 (2,3,4d float matrix)


void main()
ivec3, bvec4, etc. (vectors only)
{
color = gl_Color.rgb;
normal = normalize(gl_NormalMatrix * gl_Normal);

pos = vec3(gl_ModelViewMatrix * gl_Vertex);


gl_Position = gl_ModelViewProjectionMatrix * gl_Vertex;
}

Vertex shader
varying vec3 normal, color, pos;
void main()
{
color = gl_Color.rgb;
normal = normalize(gl_NormalMatrix * gl_Normal);
pos = vec3(gl_ModelViewMatrix * gl_Vertex);
gl_Position = gl_ModelViewProjectionMatrix * gl_Vertex;
}

11

Vertex shader
varying vec3 normal, color, pos;

vertex shader built-in attributes


writing to gl_Position is mandatory

void main()
{
color = gl_Color.rgb;
normal = normalize(gl_NormalMatrix * gl_Normal);
pos = vec3(gl_ModelViewMatrix * gl_Vertex);
gl_Position = gl_ModelViewProjectionMatrix * gl_Vertex;
}

Vertex shader
varying vec3 normal, color, pos;

built-in uniforms

void main()
{
color = gl_Color.rgb;
normal = normalize(gl_NormalMatrix * gl_Normal);
pos = vec3(gl_ModelViewMatrix * gl_Vertex);
gl_Position = gl_ModelViewProjectionMatrix * gl_Vertex;
}

12

Fragment shader
uniform float shininess;
varying vec3 normal, color, pos;
void main()
{
vec3 nlight = normalize(gl_LightSource[0].position.xyz - pos);
vec3 neye = normalize(-pos);
vec3 nnormal = normalize(normal);
vec3 nhalf = normalize(neye + nlight);
float diff = max(0.0, dot(nlight, nnormal));
float spec = diff > 0.0 ? pow(dot(nhalf, nnormal), shininess) : 0.0;
gl_FragColor = vec4(color * diff + spec, 1);
}

Fragment shader
uniform float shininess;
varying vec3 normal, color, pos;

built-in functions

void main()
{
vec3 nlight = normalize(gl_LightSource[0].position.xyz - pos);
vec3 neye = normalize(-pos);
vec3 nnormal = normalize(normal);
vec3 nhalf = normalize(neye + nlight);
float diff = max(0.0, dot(nlight, nnormal));
float spec = diff > 0.0 ? pow(dot(nhalf, nnormal), shininess) : 0.0;
gl_FragColor = vec4(color * diff + spec, 1);
}

Fragment shader
uniform float shininess;
varying vec3 normal, color, pos;

writing to gl_FragColor or
gl_FragData[] is mandatory

void main()
{
vec3 nlight = normalize(gl_LightSource[0].position.xyz - pos);
vec3 neye = normalize(-pos);
vec3 nnormal = normalize(normal);
vec3 nhalf = normalize(neye + nlight);
float diff = max(0.0, dot(nlight, nnormal));
float spec = diff > 0.0 ? pow(dot(nhalf, nnormal), shininess) : 0.0;
gl_FragColor = vec4(color * diff + spec, 1);
