OpenGL SL - Mosaic effect

Mosaic effect is similar to lowering the resolution of an image. Let's see example image.

And full source code likes below.

void mainImage( out vec4 fragColor, in vec2 fragCoord ){

// Normalized pixel coordinates (from 0 to 1)

vec2 uv = fragCoord/iResolution.xy;

if (uv.x > 0.7 && uv.y < 0.4){

//left bottoom small image

uv.x -= 0.6;

uv *= 2.0;

fragColor = texture(iChannel0, uv);

fragColor += vec4(0.2);

return;

}

//mosaic effect

uv = uv * 30.0;

vec2 uv = floor(uv);

uv = uv/30.0;

fragColor = texture(iChannel0, uv);

}

The key function of mosaic effect is "floor"

If you want to make it sharper, multiply uv by a larger number.

genType = floor(genType x);

returns a value equal to the nearest integer that is less than or equal to x.

By using floor function, You can lower the resolution by dividing the color interval, which is a mosaic effect.

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 - 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, y ou can see the results of GLSL programming on the screen without OpenGL. It looks like below. 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 ...

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...
