OpenGLES vertex shader clarification - ios

I have a vertex shader written as follows:
attribute vec4 position;
varying vec3 colorFactor;
void main()
{
colorFactor = vec3(1.0, 0.0, 0.0);
gl_Position = vec4(-1.0 + (position.x * 0.0078125), 0.0, 0.0, 1.0);
gl_PointSize = 1.0;
}
and in the code, vertices are submitted and drawn as follows:
glBlendEquation(GL_FUNC_ADD);
glBlendFunc(GL_ONE, GL_ONE);
glEnable(GL_BLEND);
glVertexAttribPointer(positionAttribute, 4, GL_UNSIGNED_BYTE, 0, 15*4, vertexSamplingCoordinates);
glDrawArrays(GL_POINTS, 0, inputTextureSize.width * inputTextureSize.height / 16);
Variable vertexSamplingCoordinates points to the base address of pixel buffer.
My question is for each vertex, what does is the value of position and how is it computed? I know each component of gl_Position is between -1 & 1 but in each iteration of vertex shader, what is the value of position?
EDIT: Here is the fragment shader as well:
const lowp float scalingFactor = 1.0 / 256.0;
varying lowp vec3 colorFactor;
void main()
{
gl_FragColor = vec4(colorFactor * scalingFactor , 1.0);
}

How blending image mask?

How can I apply such a mask
to get effect such as bokeh
need to blur edge in mask and apply on image texture. How do that?
Vertex shader:
attribute vec4 a_Position;
void main()
{
gl_Position = a_Position;
}
Fragment shader:
precision lowp float;
uniform sampler2D u_Sampler; // textureSampler
uniform sampler2D u_Mask; // maskSampler
uniform vec3 iResolution;
vec4 blur(sampler2D source, vec2 size, vec2 uv) {
vec4 C = vec4(0.0);
float width = 1.0 / size.x;
float height = 1.0 / size.y;
float divisor = 0.0;
for (float x = -25.0; x <= 25.0; x++)
{
C += texture2D(source, uv + vec2(x * width, 0.0));
C += texture2D(source, uv + vec2(0.0, x * height));
divisor++;
}
C*=0.5;
return vec4(C.r / divisor, C.g / divisor, C.b / divisor, 1.0);
}
void main()
{
vec2 uv = gl_FragCoord.xy / iResolution.xy;
vec4 videoColor = texture2D(u_Sampler, uv);
vec4 maskColor = texture2D(u_Mask, uv);
gl_FragColor = blur(u_Sampler, iResolution.xy, uv);
}
vec4 blurColor = blur(u_Sampler, iResolution.xy, uv);
gl_FragColor = mix(blurColor, videoColor, maskColor.r);
But FYI it's not common to blur in one pass like you have. It's more common to blur in one direction (horizontally), then blur the result of that vertically, then mix the results, blurredTexture, videoTexture, mask.

OpenGLES can not use input argument in vertex shader in iOS

I'm new on OpenGLES, I want to draw an image. I have a problem when using an input float variable in my shader file. My sample code here
--- The drawing code
//Loading image texture with name "texName"
//........
//get index attribute and uniform
**//Get index of flag**
GLuint a_ver_flag_drawing_type = glGetAttribLocation(program[PROGRAM_POINT].id, "a_drawingType");
GLuint a_position_location = glGetAttribLocation(program[PROGRAM_POINT].id, "a_Position");
GLuint a_texture_coordinates_location = glGetAttribLocation(program[PROGRAM_POINT].id, "a_TextureCoordinates");
GLuint u_texture_unit_location = glGetUniformLocation(program[PROGRAM_POINT].id, "u_TextureUnit");
//Bind image texture with name "texName"
glActiveTexture(GL_TEXTURE0);
glBindTexture(GL_TEXTURE_2D, texName);
glUniform1i(u_texture_unit_location, 0);
const float textrect[] = {-1.0f, -1.0f, 0.0f, 0.0f,
-1.0f, 1.0f, 0.0f, 1.0f,
1.0f, -1.0f, 1.0f, 0.0f,
1.0f, 1.0f, 1.0f, 1.0f};
glBindBuffer(GL_ARRAY_BUFFER, vboId_1);
glBufferData(GL_ARRAY_BUFFER, sizeof(textrect), textrect, GL_DYNAMIC_DRAW);
**//Set value for flag**
glVertexAttrib1f(a_ver_flag_drawing_type, 1.0f);
glVertexAttribPointer(a_position_location, 2, GL_FLOAT, GL_FALSE, 4 * sizeof(GL_FLOAT), (void*)(0));
glVertexAttribPointer(a_texture_coordinates_location, 2, GL_FLOAT, GL_FALSE, 4 * sizeof(GL_FLOAT), (void*)(2 * sizeof(GL_FLOAT)));
glEnableVertexAttribArray(a_ver_flag_drawing_type);
glEnableVertexAttribArray(a_position_location);
glEnableVertexAttribArray(a_texture_coordinates_location);
glDrawArrays(GL_TRIANGLE_STRIP, 0, 4);
glBindRenderbuffer(GL_RENDERBUFFER, viewRenderbuffer);
[context presentRenderbuffer:GL_RENDERBUFFER];
--- My vertex shader file
//Flag
attribute float a_drawingType;
varying highp float v_drawing_type;
//For drawing
attribute vec4 inVertex;
uniform mat4 MVP;
uniform float pointSize;
uniform lowp vec4 vertexColor;
varying lowp vec4 color;
//For texture
attribute vec4 a_Position;
attribute vec2 a_TextureCoordinates;
varying vec2 v_TextureCoordinates;
void main()
{
v_drawing_type = a_drawingType;
// if (fabs(a_drawingType - 1.0) < 0.00001) {
// //Draw texture
//v_TextureCoordinates = a_TextureCoordinates;
//gl_Position = a_Position;
// } else {
//Draw some other stuff
// }
//Draw texture
v_TextureCoordinates = a_TextureCoordinates;
gl_Position = a_Position;
}
--- My fragment shader file
precision mediump float;
uniform sampler2D texture;
varying lowp vec4 color;
uniform sampler2D u_TextureUnit;
varying vec2 v_TextureCoordinates;
varying highp float v_drawing_type;
void main()
{
// //Drawing point
// gl_FragColor = color * texture2D(texture, gl_PointCoord);
//Draw texture
gl_FragColor = texture2D(u_TextureUnit, v_TextureCoordinates);
}
If just these code, I can draw my desired image. But if I uncomment the if statement code on vertex shader file
if (fabs(a_drawingType - 1.0) < 0.00001) {
//Draw texture
v_TextureCoordinates = a_TextureCoordinates;
gl_Position = a_Position;
} else {
//Draw some other stuff
}
the image is not rendered on screen anymore. I really don't know why it is. I want this flag to modify my drawing. If a_drawing_type is 1.0, I will draw image, else I will draw somethings else. I debug my drawing code and see if I uncomment this if statement, I can get indexes of these attribute at these lines
**//Get index of flag**
GLuint a_ver_flag_drawing_type = glGetAttribLocation(program[PROGRAM_POINT].id, "a_drawingType");
GLuint a_position_location = glGetAttribLocation(program[PROGRAM_POINT].id, "a_Position");
GLuint a_texture_coordinates_location = glGetAttribLocation(program[PROGRAM_POINT].id, "a_TextureCoordinates");
GLuint u_texture_unit_location = glGetUniformLocation(program[PROGRAM_POINT].id, "u_TextureUnit");
but if I comment the if statement, debug again and see that these indexes will have value 4294967295, I think it's max int value when it can't get the indexes.
Can anyone figure out for me what is the problem with if statement, I totally spent 2 days for this issue.
UPDATED:
I fixed above problem based on #Anonymous answer, but I have another issue related to it:
I want to pass the value of a_drawingType on vertex shader to the variable v_drawing_type in fragment shader, so the line of code
v_drawing_type = a_drawingType;
on vertex shader is right, isn't it? but now in fragment shader file, I add an if statement to check the value of the v_drawing_type
if (abs(v_drawing_type - 1.0) < 0.0001) {
}
it will also raise crash problem at line
glDrawArrays(GL_TRIANGLE_STRIP, 0, 4);
Do I still miss somethings or I'm doing wrong
Well, let's start from correcting sizeof().
There are plenty of places in your code using sizeof incorrectly:
sizeof(GL_FLOAT)
GL_FLOAT is enum (not float), you should rather use sizeof(GLfloat) or sizeof(float)
I belive it is fine on iOS, because sizeof(int) in fact is equal to sizeof(float), however it is mistake.
Second, more importand thing is your fabs() call. First of all it should be abs() not fabs(). Also why there are 2 arguments? As far as I know abs() takes only 1 argument. I am pretty sure these things are reason of your headake, your shader cannot be compiled, so you don't get your image on screen.

Transparent objects with visible textures(set alpha channel)

I have to show transparent objects with texture that is set alpha channel.
Using OpenGL ES 2.0 and mtl2opengl.pl I could show object with texture on my iPhone but alpha channel didn't work.
This is almost same as mtl2opengl.pl sample. How should I change code?
in ViewController.m:
- (void)glkView:(GLKView *)view drawInRect:(CGRect)rect{
// Clear Buffers
glClearColor(1.0, 1.0, 1.0, 1.0);
glClear(GL_COLOR_BUFFER_BIT | GL_DEPTH_BUFFER_BIT);
// Set View Matrices
[self updateViewMatrices];
glUniformMatrix4fv(_uniforms.uProjectionMatrix, 1, 0, _projectionMatrix.m);
glUniformMatrix4fv(_uniforms.uModelViewMatrix, 1, 0, _modelViewMatrix.m);
glUniformMatrix3fv(_uniforms.uNormalMatrix, 1, 0, _normalMatrix.m);
// Attach Texture
glUniform1i(_uniforms.uTexture, 0);
// Set View Mode
glUniform1i(_uniforms.uMode, self.viewMode.selectedSegmentIndex);
// Enable Attributes
glEnableVertexAttribArray(_attributes.aVertex);
glEnableVertexAttribArray(_attributes.aNormal);
glEnableVertexAttribArray(_attributes.aTexture);
// Load OBJ Data
glVertexAttribPointer(_attributes.aVertex, 3, GL_FLOAT, GL_FALSE, 0, buildOBJVerts);
glVertexAttribPointer(_attributes.aNormal, 3, GL_FLOAT, GL_FALSE, 0, buildOBJNormals);
glVertexAttribPointer(_attributes.aTexture, 2, GL_FLOAT, GL_FALSE, 0, buildOBJTexCoords);
// Load MTL Data
for(int i=0; i<buildMTLNumMaterials; i++)
{
glUniform3f(_uniforms.uAmbient, buildMTLAmbient[i][0], buildMTLAmbient[i][1], buildMTLAmbient[i][2]);
glUniform3f(_uniforms.uDiffuse, buildMTLDiffuse[i][0], buildMTLDiffuse[i][1], buildMTLDiffuse[i][2]);
glUniform3f(_uniforms.uSpecular, buildMTLSpecular[i][0], buildMTLSpecular[i][1], buildMTLSpecular[i][2]);
glUniform1f(_uniforms.uExponent, buildMTLExponent[i]);
// Draw scene by material group
glDrawArrays(GL_TRIANGLES, buildMTLFirst[i], buildMTLCount[i]);
}
// Disable Attributes
glDisableVertexAttribArray(_attributes.aVertex);
glDisableVertexAttribArray(_attributes.aNormal);
glDisableVertexAttribArray(_attributes.aTexture);
}
Shader.fsh:
// FRAGMENT SHADER
static const char* ShaderF = STRINGIFY
(
// Input from Vertex Shader
varying mediump vec3 vNormal;
varying mediump vec2 vTexture;
// MTL Data
uniform lowp vec3 uAmbient;
uniform lowp vec3 uDiffuse;
uniform lowp vec3 uSpecular;
uniform highp float uExponent;
uniform lowp int uMode;
uniform lowp vec3 uColor;
uniform sampler2D uTexture;
lowp vec3 materialDefault(highp float df, highp float sf)
{
lowp vec3 diffuse = vec3(0.0,1.0,0.0);
highp float exponent = 1.0;
sf = pow(sf, exponent);
return (df * diffuse);
}
lowp vec3 materialMTL(highp float df, highp float sf)
{
sf = pow(sf, uExponent);
return (df * uDiffuse);
}
lowp vec3 modelColor(void)
{
highp vec3 N = normalize(vNormal);
highp vec3 L = vec3(1.0, 1.0, 0.5);
highp vec3 E = vec3(0.0, 0.0, 1.0);
highp vec3 H = normalize(L + E);
highp float df = max(0.0, dot(N, L));
highp float sf = max(0.0, dot(N, H));
// Default
if(uMode == 0)
return materialDefault(df, sf);
// Texture
else if(uMode == 1)
return (materialDefault(df, sf) * vec3(texture2D(uTexture, vTexture)));
// Material
else if(uMode == 2)
return materialMTL(df, sf);
}
void main(void)
{
lowp vec3 color = modelColor();
gl_FragColor = vec4(color, 1.0);
}
);
It's obvious, learn the language from a book, use vec4 everywhere (materialDefault, materialMTL, modelColor) and activate alpha blending.
example:
lowp vec4 materialMTL(highp float df, highp float sf)
{
sf = pow(sf, uExponent);
return vec4(df * uDiffuse, 1.0);
}
In lowp vec4 modelColor(void):
return (materialDefault(df, sf) * texture2D(uTexture, vTexture));
activate alpha blending:
glEnable (GL_BLEND);
glBlendFunc (GL_SRC_ALPHA, GL_ONE_MINUS_SRC_ALPHA);
What's the real problem ?
Add
glEnable (GL_BLEND);
glBlendFunc (GL_SRC_ALPHA, GL_ONE_MINUS_SRC_ALPHA);
Before rendering transparent objects.

How do I draw a filled circle with OpenGL ES on iPhone?

How do I draw a filled circle with openGl on iPhone ?
I've found many solutions but none of them work. Probably because there are many ways to do it. But what's the method with shortest code ?
For a truly smooth circle, you're going to want a custom fragment shader. For example, the following vertex shader:
attribute vec4 position;
attribute vec4 inputTextureCoordinate;
varying vec2 textureCoordinate;
void main()
{
gl_Position = position;
textureCoordinate = inputTextureCoordinate.xy;
}
and fragment shader:
varying highp vec2 textureCoordinate;
const highp vec2 center = vec2(0.5, 0.5);
const highp float radius = 0.5;
void main()
{
highp float distanceFromCenter = distance(center, textureCoordinate);
lowp float checkForPresenceWithinCircle = step(distanceFromCenter, radius);
gl_FragColor = vec4(1.0, 0.0, 0.0, 1.0) * checkForPresenceWithinCircle;
}
will draw a smooth red circle within a square that you draw to the screen. You'll need to supply vertices for your square to the position attribute and coordinates that range from 0.0 to 1.0 in X and Y to the inputTextureCoordinate attribute, but this will draw a circle that's as sharp as your viewport's resolution allows and do so very quickly.
One way would be to use GL_POINTS:
glPointSize(radius);
glBegin(GL_POINTS);
glVertex2f(x,y);
glEnd();
Another alternative would be to use GL_TRIANGLE_FAN:
radius = 1.0;
glBegin(GL_TRIANGLE_FAN);
glVertex2f(x, y);
for(int angle = 1; angle <= 360; angle = angle + 1)
glVertex2f(x + sind(angle) * radius, y + cosd(angle) * radius);
glEnd();
To get the verices of a circle:
float[] verts=MakeCircle2d(1,100,0,0)
public static float[] MakeCircle2d(float rad,int points,float x,float y)//x,y ofsets
{
float[] verts=new float[points*2+2];
boolean first=true;
float fx=0;
float fy=0;
int c=0;
for (int i = 0; i < points; i++)
{
float fi = 2*Trig.PI*i/points;
float xa = rad*Trig.sin(fi + Trig.PI)+x ;
float ya = rad*Trig.cos(fi + Trig.PI)+y ;
if(first)
{
first=false;
fx=xa;
fy=ya;
}
verts[c]=xa;
verts[c+1]=ya;
c+=2;
}
verts[c]=fx;
verts[c+1]=fy;
return verts;
}
Draw it as GL10.GL_LINES if you want a empty circle
gl.glDrawArrays(GL10.GL_LINES, 0, verts.length / 2);
Or draw it as GL10.GL_TRIANGLE_FAN if you want a filled one
gl.glDrawArrays(GL10.GL_TRIANGLE_FAN, 0, verts.length / 2);
Its java but it is really easy to convert to c++/objc
Here is a super fast way using shaders... Just make a Quad with a vertex buffer and set the UV's from -1 to 1 for each corner of the quad.
The vertex buffer in floats should look like:
NOTE: this needs a index buffer too.
var verts = new float[20]
{
-1, -1, 0, -1, -1,
-1, 1, 0, -1, 1,
1, 1, 0, 1, 1,
1, -1, 0, 1, -1,
};
#VS
attribute vec3 Position0;
attribute vec2 Texcoord0;

varying vec2 Texcoord_VSPS;

{
vec3 loc = vec3(Position0.xy + Location, Position0.z);
gl_Position = Position_VSPS = vec4(loc, 1);
Texcoord_VSPS = loc.xy;
}
#END
#PS
varying vec4 Position_VSPS;
varying vec2 Texcoord_VSPS;
uniform vec2 Location;
void main()
{
float dis = distance(Location, Texcoord_VSPS);
if (.1 - dis < 0.0) discard;
gl_FragData[0] = vec4(0, 0, 1, 1);
}
