OpenGL SL - Select compiler (Shader Toy)

GLSL (OpenGL Shading Language) is a language that enables developers to directly control the graphics pipeline. We will do GPU programming using GLSL. And I recommend the Shadertoy to easily program it. By using Shadertoy, you can see the results of GLSL programming on the screen without OpenGL. It looks like below.

comfortable glsl compiler : shadertoy


I made simple mosaic effect. The great thing of this is you can program and take result on the screen in real time. We do not need to write GL code directly :)

But this tool also has some rules.
Because we don't program GL, there are some promised uniform variables. And I'll introduce some important input uniforms.


uniform vec3 iResolution   (x,y,z of your screen resolution)
uniform float iTime            (current time second info)
uniform float iFrame             (current frame number info)
uniform vec4 iMouse                 (mouse click position)
uniform samplerXX iChanneli     (sampler image, video of iChannel0 ~ iChannel4)


If you want to see more rules, please go to Shadertoy site.

OpenGL SL - Show Video and Image

The simple image is made like this. void  mainImage(  out   vec4  fragColor,  in   vec2  fragCoord ){      // Normalized pixel coordinates (from 0 to 1)      vec2  uv = fragCoord/iResolution.xy;           //uv.x = uv.x - 0.3;      fragColor =  texture (iChannel0, uv); } I think GPU processing has two major steps. Normalizing and Pointing. 1. Normalizing Each pixel has screen coordinate and we need to normalizing from 0.0 to 1.0, because there are many displays with various resolutions around us. We can not manage it at each resolution. It is very troublesome. So we should normalize it :   vec2   uv = fragCoord/iResolution.xy; 2. Pointing I told you each pixel has a screen coordinate. At each coordinate we need to link with sampler's coordinate. Sampler has also coordinate 0.0 to 1.0. As a result, we see the samplers p...

OpenGL SL - Translate, roate, and scale

Translate, rotate and scale are most basic element of image effect. If you didn't understand how make effect at each pixel, please read again before post "Show Video and Image" . 1. Translate Translation means each pixel move parallel on the x, y-axis. In other words, if you want to translate 0.25 on the x-axis, a pixel should point to a distance of -0.25 from the original. Translate ex) void mainImage( out vec4 fragColor, in vec2 fragCoord ){     vec2 uv = fragCoord/iResolution.xy;     if (uv.x < 0.5 ){         // translate to x ( -0.25 )         uv.x += 0.25 ;     } else {         // translate to x ( +0.25 )         uv.x -= 0.25 ;     }     fragColor = texture (iChannel0, uv); } result) 2. Scale Scale also has a  similar concept to parallel translation. If you want to zoom in twice, each pixel s...

How to make gaussian blur in SparkAR

 Gaussian blur is result of blurring an image by Gaussian function. We need to use large kernel to make strong blur and this cause the high complexity. And that's why we should use multi-pass which is seperated into horizontal, vertical pass . It can reduce the complexity and make faster. In Spark AR there are many ways to make it. And I wanna introduce one of them using shader files (.sca). You can download it for free from the gumload link below. It is modulated to adjust horizontal, vertical strength easily . Hope this can help you. Loading...
