I am trying to build an infinite fog shader. This fog is applied on a 3D plane.
For the moment I have a Z-Depth Fog. And I encounter some issues.
As you can see in the screenshot, there are two views.
The green color is my 3D plane. The problem is in the red line. It seems that the this line depends of my camera which is not good because when I rotate my camera the line is affected by my camera position and rotation.
I don't know where does it comes from and how to have my fog limit not based on the camera position.

CGPROGRAM
#pragma vertex vert

uniform sampler2D _CameraDepthTexture;

float4 pos : SV_POSITION;
float4 projection : TEXCOORD0;

};
v2f vert(appdata_base v) {
v2f o;
o.pos = mul(UNITY_MATRIX_MVP, v.vertex);
// o.projection = ComputeGrabScreenPos(o.pos);
float4 position = o.pos;
#if UNITY_UV_STARTS_AT_TOP
float scale = -1.0;
#else
float scale = 1.0;
#endif
float4 p = position * 0.5f;
p.xy = float2(p.x, p.y * scale) + p.w;
p.zw = position.zw;
o.projection = p;
// o.screenPosition = ComputeScreenPos(o.pos);
position = o.pos;
float4 q = position * 0.5f;

float4 frag(v2f IN) : COLOR {
float3 uv = UNITY_PROJ_COORD(IN.projection);
float depth = UNITY_SAMPLE_DEPTH(tex2Dproj(_CameraDepthTexture, uv));
depth = LinearEyeDepth(depth);
return saturate((depth - IN.screenPosition.w + _Depth) * _DepthScale);
}
ENDCG
}
Next I want to rotate my Fog to have an Y-Depth Fog but I don't know how to achieve this effect.
I see two ways to acheive what you want:
is to render depth of your plane to texture and calculate fog based on difference of depth of plane and depth of object, 0 if obj depth is less and (objDepth - planeDepth) * scale if it is bigger)
Is to instead of rendering to texture calculate distance to plane in shader and use it directly.
I am not sure what you do since I am not very familiar with Unity surface shaders, but djudging from the code and result something different.
It seems that this is caused by _CameraDepthTexture, that's why depth is calculated with the camera position.
But I don't know how to correct it... It seems that there is no way to get the depth from another point. Any idea ?
Here is another example. In green You can "see" the object and the blue line is for me the fog as it should be.

I have a question about normal mapping in directx9 shader.
Currently my Terrain shader Output for Normal Map + Diffuse Color only result into this Image.
Which looks good to me.
If i use an empty Normal map image like this one.
My shader output for normal diffuse and color map looks like this.
But if i use 1 including a ColorMap i get a really stange result.
Does anyone have an idea what could cause this issue?
Here is some snippets.
float4 PS_TERRAIN(VSTERRAIN_OUTPUT In) : COLOR0
{
float4 fDiffuseColor;
float lightIntensity;
float3 bumpMap = 2.0f * tex2D( Samp_Bump, In.Tex.xy ).xyz-1.0f;
float3 bumpNormal = (bumpMap.x * In.Tangent) + (bumpMap.y * In.Bitangent) + (bumpMap.z * In.Normal);
bumpNormal = normalize(bumpNormal);
// Direction Light Test ( Test hardcoded )
float3 lightDirection = float3(0.0f, -0.5f, -0.2f);
float3 lightDir = -lightDirection;
// Bump
lightIntensity = saturate(dot( bumpNormal, lightDir));
// We are using a lightmap to do our alpha calculation for given pixel
float4 LightMaptest = tex2D( Samp_Lightmap, In.Tex.zw ) * 2.0f;
fDiffuseColor.a = LightMaptest.a;
if( !bAlpha )
fDiffuseColor.a = 1.0;
// Sample the pixel color from the texture using the sampler at this texture coordinate location.
float4 textureColor = tex2D( Samp_Diffuse, In.Tex.xy );
// Combine the color map value into the texture color.
textureColor = saturate(textureColor * LightMaptest);
textureColor.a = LightMaptest.a;
fDiffuseColor.rgb = saturate(lightIntensity * I_d).rgb;
fDiffuseColor = fDiffuseColor * textureColor; // If i enable this line it goes crazy
return fDiffuseColor;
}
why use sPos.z here to get tescoord?
Out.shadowCrd.x = 0.5 * (sPos.z + sPos.x);
Out.shadowCrd.y = 0.5 * (sPos.z - sPos.y);
Out.shadowCrd.z = 0;
Out.shadowCrd.w = sPos.z;
It is a shader which achieves shadow mapping in "Shaders for Game Programming and Artists".
The first pass render depth texture in light space.( light is camera and watch towards the origin )
The second pass get the depth and calculate the shadow.
Before these codes, the model has already been transformed to light space.
Then the texcoord should be calculated to read depth texture.
But I can't understand the algorithm of calculating the texcoord. Why sPos.z will be here?
Here is the whole vertex shader of the second pass
float distanceScale;
float4 lightPos;
float4 view_position;
float4x4 view_proj_matrix;
float4x4 proj_matrix;
float time_0_X;

VS_OUTPUT Out;
// Animate the light position.
float3 lightPos;
lightPos.x = cos(1.321 * time_0_X);
lightPos.z = sin(0.923 * time_0_X);
lightPos.xz = 100 * normalize(lightPos.xz);
lightPos.y = 100;
// Project the object's position
Out.Pos = mul(view_proj_matrix, inPos);
// World-space lighting
Out.normal = inNormal;
Out.lightVec = distanceScale * (lightPos - inPos.xyz);
Out.viewVec = view_position - inPos.xyz;
// Create view vectors for the light, looking at (0,0,0)
float3 dirZ = -normalize(lightPos);
float3 up = float3(0,0,1);
float3 dirX = cross(up, dirZ);
float3 dirY = cross(dirZ, dirX);
// Transform into light's view space.
float4 pos;
inPos.xyz -= lightPos;
pos.x = dot(dirX, inPos);
pos.y = dot(dirY, inPos);
pos.z = dot(dirZ, inPos);
pos.w = 1;
// Project it into light space to determine she shadow
// map position
float4 sPos = mul(proj_matrix, pos);
// Use projective texturing to map the position of each fragment
// to its corresponding texel in the shadow map.
sPos.z += 10;
Out.shadowCrd.x = 0.5 * (sPos.z + sPos.x);
Out.shadowCrd.y = 0.5 * (sPos.z - sPos.y);
Out.shadowCrd.z = 0;
Out.shadowCrd.w = sPos.z;
return Out;

I'm trying to port my engine to DirectX and I'm currently having issues with depth reconstruction. It works perfectly in OpenGL (even though I use a bit of an expensive method). Every part besides the depth reconstruction works so far. I use GLM because it's a good math library that has no need to install any dependencies or anything for the user.
So basically I get my GLM matrices:
struct DefferedUBO {
glm::mat4 view;
glm::mat4 invProj;
glm::vec4 eyePos;
glm::vec4 resolution;
};
DefferedUBO deffUBOBuffer;
// ...
glm::mat4 projection = glm::perspective(engine.settings.fov, aspectRatio, 0.1f, 100.0f);
// Get My Camera
CTransform *transform = &engine.transformSystem.components[engine.entities[entityID].components[COMPONENT_TRANSFORM]];
// Get the View Matrix
glm::mat4 view = glm::lookAt(
transform->GetPosition(),
transform->GetPosition() + transform->GetForward(),
transform->GetUp()
);
deffUBOBuffer.invProj = glm::inverse(projection);
deffUBOBuffer.view = glm::inverse(view);
if (engine.settings.graphicsLanguage == GRAPHICS_DIRECTX) {
deffUBOBuffer.invProj = glm::transpose(deffUBOBuffer.invProj);
deffUBOBuffer.view = glm::transpose(deffUBOBuffer.view);
}
// Abstracted so I can use OGL, DX, VK, or even Metal when I get around to it.
deffUBO->UpdateUniformBuffer(&deffUBOBuffer);
deffUBO->Bind());
Then in HLSL, I simply use the following:
cbuffer MatrixInfoType {
matrix invView;
matrix invProj;
float4 eyePos;
float4 resolution;
};
float4 ViewPosFromDepth(float depth, float2 TexCoord) {
float z = depth; // * 2.0 - 1.0;
float4 clipSpacePosition = float4(TexCoord * 2.0 - 1.0, z, 1.0);
float4 viewSpacePosition = mul(invProj, clipSpacePosition);
viewSpacePosition /= viewSpacePosition.w;
return viewSpacePosition;
}
float3 WorldPosFromViewPos(float4 view) {
float4 worldSpacePosition = mul(invView, view);
return worldSpacePosition.xyz;
}
float3 WorldPosFromDepth(float depth, float2 TexCoord) {
return WorldPosFromViewPos(ViewPosFromDepth(depth, TexCoord));
}
// ...
// Sample the hardware depth buffer.
float depth = shaderTexture[3].Sample(SampleType[0], input.texCoord).r;
float3 position = WorldPosFromDepth(depth, input.texCoord).rgb;
Here's the result:
This just looks like random colors multiplied with the depth.
Ironically when I remove transposing, I get something closer to the truth, but not quite:
You're looking at Crytek Sponza. As you can see, the green area moves and rotates with the bottom of the camera. I have no idea at all why.
The correct version, along with Albedo, Specular, and Normals.
I fixed my problem at gamedev.net. There was a matrix majorness issue as well as a depth handling issue.

I have the following fragment and vertex shaders.
HLSL code
`
// Vertex shader
//-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
void mainVP(
float4 position : POSITION,
out float4 outPos : POSITION,
out float2 outDepth : TEXCOORD0,
uniform float4x4 worldViewProj,
uniform float4 texelOffsets,
uniform float4 depthRange) //Passed as float4(minDepth, maxDepth,depthRange,1 / depthRange)
{
outPos = mul(worldViewProj, position);
outPos.xy += texelOffsets.zw * outPos.w;
outDepth.x = (outPos.z - depthRange.x)*depthRange.w;//value [0..1]
outDepth.y = outPos.w;
}
// Fragment shader
void mainFP( float2 depth: TEXCOORD0, out float4 result : COLOR) {
float finalDepth = depth.x;
result = float4(finalDepth, finalDepth, finalDepth, 1);
}
`
This shader produces a depth map.
This depth map must then be used to reconstruct the world positions for the depth values. I have searched other posts but none of them seem to store the depth using the same formula I am using. The only similar post is the following
Reconstructing world position from linear depth
Therefore, I am having a hard time reconstructing the point using the x and y coordinates from the depth map and the corresponding depth.
I need some help in constructing the shader to get the world view position for a depth at particular texture coordinates.
It doesn't look like you're normalizing your depth. Try this instead. In your VS, do:
outDepth.xy = outPos.zw;
And in your PS to render the depth, you can do:
float finalDepth = depth.x / depth.y;
Here is a function to then extract the view-space position of a particular pixel from your depth texture. I'm assuming you're rendering screen aligned quad and performing your position-extraction in the pixel shader.
// Function for converting depth to view-space position
// in deferred pixel shader pass. vTexCoord is a texture
// coordinate for a full-screen quad, such that x=0 is the
// left of the screen, and y=0 is the top of the screen.
float3 VSPositionFromDepth(float2 vTexCoord)
{
// Get the depth value for this pixel
float z = tex2D(DepthSampler, vTexCoord);
// Get x/w and y/w from the viewport position
float x = vTexCoord.x * 2 - 1;
float y = (1 - vTexCoord.y) * 2 - 1;
float4 vProjectedPos = float4(x, y, z, 1.0f);
// Transform by the inverse projection matrix
float4 vPositionVS = mul(vProjectedPos, g_matInvProjection);
// Divide by w to get the view-space position
return vPositionVS.xyz / vPositionVS.w;
}
For a more advanced approach that reduces the number of calculation involved but involves using the view frustum and a special way of rendering the screen-aligned quad, see here.
First of all I'm new to XNA and HLSL so me knowledge is very limited.
I'm writing a small Application to display a digital elevation model consisting of 16Bit values in 2D by using different colors for different height.
The colormapping is done by a Pixelshader via a lookup texture.
At the moment I'm putting the values into red an green components of a texture2D and map them to colors in a 256x256 texture.
As the coloring is discrete/not continously I set minfilter/magfilter to point what leads to a blocky look when zooming in.
Is there a way to get the linear filtering back after the lookup? Or does anybody know a better way to do the mapping?
Shader:
sampler2D tex1 : register(s0) = sampler_state
{
MinFilter = Point;
MagFilter = Point;
MipFilter = linear;
};
texture2D lookupTex;
sampler2D lookup = sampler_state
{
Texture = <lookupTex>;
MinFilter = Point;
MagFilter = Point;
MipFilter = Point;
};
float4 PixelShaderLookup(float4 incol : COLOR, float2 UV : TEXCOORD0) : COLOR0
{
float4 inCol = tex2D(tex1, UV);
half3 scale = (256 - 1.0) / 256;
half3 offset = 1.0 / (2.0 * 256);
float4 outCol = tex2D(lookup, scale * inCol.gr + offset);
return outCol;
}
Thanks for your help and a happy new year :)
