Shader Model 2 Stone Shader

Description

This shader is exported from rendermonkey 1.61 with one change to one line of code in the .material file as noted below.

It should work with gpu's that support shader model 2 and above. A live Openspace scene (that uses Ogre for 3d, Newton for physics, OpenAL for sound) is posted to: http://ifam.net/openspace/moon2/web/. You need win os or linux running wine and the scol voyager plugin (from http://scolring.org/index.php/logiciels ) to view the scene. If the plugin is not installed on your system you will be prompted for an install. Openspace like Ogre is opensource.

The upside to this shader like any of the rendermonkey shaders is that you can fool around with the variables in rendermonkey and preview them instantly in that app.

I think there is a bug in the rendermonkey exporter. With some help of one of the developers of openspace, I found that you should change the line: 

param_named_auto 0 world_viewProj viewproj_matrix


to 

param_indexed_auto 0  worldviewproj_matrix


otherwise if you transform the object that is painted with the shader, the shader won't move or scale along with the node that holds the entity on which the shader is painted.


colleagues: feel free to remove my commented out code, -h



Here is a screenshot. This variation that I exported from rendermonkey is good for moonlike terrain methinks:

Usage


Just add the material terrain_material to your object.I have not modified it to work with hardware skinnig. Anyone who wants to do that go ahead and edit this page an add the hardware skinning version below mine.

This is the vertex shader source file. I know it has the .cg extension and it is declared as hlsl, but ogre doesn't seem to care.

HLSL_Stone_Effects.Stones_Effect_Group.terrain_material.Elephant_Body.Vertex_Shader.program.cg

float4x4 view_proj_matrix;
float noise_frequency;
float4x4 view_matrix;
struct VS_OUTPUT
{
   float4 Pos  : POSITION;
   float3 P    : TEXCOORD0;
   float3 Peye : TEXCOORD1;
   float3 Neye : TEXCOORD2;
};


VS_OUTPUT main (float4 vPosition: POSITION, float3 vNormal: NORMAL)
{
   VS_OUTPUT Out = (VS_OUTPUT) 0; 

   Out.Pos = mul (view_proj_matrix, vPosition);

   // Just output model coordinates for this so marble doesn't swim all over
   Out.P = vPosition * noise_frequency;

   // Put position and normal in eye space
   Out.Peye = mul (view_matrix, vPosition);
   Out.Neye = mul (view_matrix, vNormal);

   return Out;
}

This is the pixel shader source file. I know it has the .cg extension and it is declared as hlsl, but ogre doesn't seem to care.

HLSL_Stone_Effects.Stones_Effect_Group.terrain_material.Elephant_Body.Pixel_Shader.program.cg

float4 Kd;
float4 global_ambient;
float4 granite_color;
float4 light_color;
float4 Ka;
float4 light_pos;
sampler noise_volume;
float4 noise (float3 x)
{
    return tex3D (noise_volume, x);
}

float4 diffuse(float3 Neye, float3 Peye)
{
   // Compute normalized vector from vertex to light in eye space  (Leye)
   float3 Leye = (light_pos - Peye) / length(light_pos - Peye);

   return dot(Neye, Leye); // N.L
}

//
// Based on granite.sl on page 354 of The RenderMan Companion 
//
float4 hlsl_granite (float3 P : TEXCOORD0, float3 Peye : TEXCOORD1, float3 Neye : TEXCOORD2) : COLOR
{
   return abs(0.8-noise(P)) * granite_color * light_color * (Ka + Kd * diffuse(normalize(Neye), Peye));
}
