Hi!

Just wondering if anyone has implemented emission maps in a shader and if they are willing to share the code?

Thanks!

Well, I can suggest you my shader pack

Janbo,

I downloaded the shader kit on release. I tried the include but it broke my skybox unfortunately. Was just after a simple shader to add to the object.

Thanks

And what happened to your skybox ?
I guess your skybox is a normal object ?
So did you add it to the system with SP_AddObject() , like you would do with other objects ?

Here is an example below to add emissive with basic lighting and fog. I haven't tested this, so consider that it may need a little fixing/modification, I just put this together quickly as a rough example. This example has the diffuse texture in index 0 and any emissive texture in index 1 (so you'd need to texture the object you apply the shader to in that order):

Vertex Shader:


Fragment Shader:

@janbo

I did use the SP_AddObject() but no joy. I was using the manual DrawObject() with the skybox and hiding it before rendering other stuff. Not sure if that made a difference.

@SFSW

That shader worked perfectly. Thank you!

Actually, there is one problem I'm having. Object transparency no longer works. I'm assuming that's because the alpha is being explicitly set to 1.0 in the shader. How can I fix this?

Thanks!

You can replace:
gl_FragColor = vec4(color,1.0);

with:
gl_FragColor = vec4(color,Diffuse.a);

in the fragment shader and so the alpha is used.

Thanks for the quick response @Bengismo

I wasn't very clear in my post, so I apologise. I was referring to the SetObjectColorAlpha() transparency, not transparency in the diffuse texture. It is my understanding that diffuse.a give the alpha value from the texture, not the alpha value for the object.

Thanks

Ohh sorry. I just read it quick without realising what you are after.

in the shader, agk_MeshDiffuse holds the objects colour so you can use the alpha in that with agk_MeshDiffuse.a

You can use this fragment shader:


I havent tested it but this should apply the Objects alpha to the final render... you can combine that with the diffuse alpha too if wanted - depending on what you are trying to achieve.

@Bengismo

That did the trick! I'm not using transparency in textures at the moment, but I've left it as agk_MeshDiffuse.a * diffuse.a.

Thanks so much for your help. I really do need to learn more about shaders. I have only a very basic understanding.
