Available since: Gideros 2015.06.30
Inherits from: Object

Description

Gideros internally uses five distinct shaders:

  • the ‘Basic’ shader handles shapes with a constant color
  • the ‘Color’ shader handles shapes with per-vertex colors (mostly used by Mesh sprite)
  • the ‘Texture’ shader handles textured shapes (Bitmaps)
  • the ‘TextureColor’ shader handles textured and per-vertex colored shapes
  • and the ‘Particle’ shader deals with Box2D particle systems

The shader API allows replacing the default shader used by Gideros with a custom one, on a sprite per sprite basis. As with most of Gideros API’s this one is straightforward: you create a Shader object and assign it to one or several sprites.

That said, since Gideros will use your shader as if it was the standard one, you will have to make sure that your custom shader is compatible with the standard one, which essentially means that it takes the same input parameters.

You can also write your shader code in Lua, it will then be automatically translated to the relevant shader language for the platform you are using, eg GLSL, HLSL or MTL. This is the recommended way.

Example

A blur shader

--Shaders are in vShader.glsl and fShader.glsl files
local shader = Shader.new("vShader", "fShader", 0,
	{
		{name="vMatrix", type=Shader.CMATRIX, sys=Shader.SYS_WVP, vertex=true},
		{name="fColor", type=Shader.CFLOAT4, sys=Shader.SYS_COLOR, vertex=false},
		{name="fTexture", type=Shader.CTEXTURE, vertex=false},
		{name="fTexelSize", type=Shader.CFLOAT4, vertex=false},
		{name="fRad", type=Shader.CINT, vertex=false},
	},
	{
		{name="vVertex", type=Shader.DFLOAT, mult=3, slot=0, offset=0},
		{name="vColor", type=Shader.DUBYTE, mult=4, slot=1, offset=0},
		{name="vTexCoord", type=Shader.DFLOAT, mult=2, slot=2, offset=0},
	}
);

shader:setConstant("fRad", Shader.CINT, 1, 0) -- initial blur level
shader:setConstant("fTexelSize", Shader.CFLOAT4, 1, {1/texw, 1/texh, 0, 0}) -- initial texel size

sprite:setShader(shader)
