shader = gpu.export_shader(scene,material) Returns the GLSL shader that blender generates to produce the visual effect of material in scene for the purpose of reusing the shader in an external engine. This function is meant to be used in a material exporter so that the GLSL shader can be exported entirely. The return value is a dictionary containing the shader source code and all associated data. The full documentation is under sphinx. Warning: there has been an API between the patch and this commit: uniform['lamp'] and uniform['image'] now return python reference to ID block instead of ID name as before. The X3D exporter that uses this function must be adapted.

|
|
|
|
Module to provide functions concerning the GPU implementation in Blender, in particular
|
|
the GLSL shaders that blender generates automatically to render materials in the 3D view
|
|
and in the game engine.
|
|
|
|
.. warning::
|
|
|
|
The API provided by this module should be consider unstable. The data exposed by the API
|
|
are are closely related to Blender's internal GLSL code and may change if the GLSL code
|
|
is modified (e.g. new uniform type).

|
|
-----------------
|
|
|
|
.. _uniform-type:
|
|
|
|
Constants that specify the type of uniform used in a GLSL shader.
|
|
The uniform type determines the data type, origin and method
|
|
of calculation used by Blender to compute the uniform value.
|
|
|
|
The calculation of some of the uniforms is based on matrices available in the scene:

|
|
|
|
*mat4_cam_to_world*

|
|
camera local coordinates to world coordinates. In blender this is obtained from the
|
|
'matrix_world' attribute of the camera object.

|
Some uniform will need the *mat4_world_to_cam*
|
|
matrix computed as the inverse of this matrix.

|
|
.. _mat4_world_to_lamp:
|
|
|
|
*mat4_lamp_to_world*

|
|
local coordinates to world coordinates. In blender this is obtained from the

.. _export_shader:
|
|
|
|
.. function:: export_shader(scene,material)
|
|
|
|
Extracts the GLSL shader producing the visual effect of material in scene for the purpose of
|
|
reusing the shader in an external engine. This function is meant to be used in material exporter
|
|
so that the GLSL shader can be exported entirely. The return value is a dictionary containing the

|
:type material: :class:`bpy.types.Material`
|
|
:return: the shader source code and all associated data in a dictionary
|
|
:rtype: dictionary
|
|
|
|

|
|
sequence is a dictionary with the following elements:
|
|
|
|
* ['varname'] : string
|
|
name of the uniform in the fragment shader. Always of the form 'unf<number>'.
|
|
|
|
* ['datatype'] : integer
|
|
data type of the uniform variable. Can be one of the following:
|
|
|
|
* :data:`gpu.GPU_DATA_1I` : use glUniform1i
|
|
* :data:`gpu.GPU_DATA_1F` : use glUniform1fv
|
|
* :data:`gpu.GPU_DATA_2F` : use glUniform2fv
|
|
* :data:`gpu.GPU_DATA_3F` : use glUniform3fv
|

|
|
Reference to the lamp object from which the uniforms value are extracted. Set for the following uniforms types:
|
|

* :data:`gpu.GPU_DYNAMIC_LAMP_DYNCOL`
|
|
* :data:`gpu.GPU_DYNAMIC_SAMPLER_2DSHADOW`
|
|
|
|
Notes:
|
|
|
|
* The uniforms :data:`gpu.GPU_DYNAMIC_LAMP_DYNVEC`, :data:`gpu.GPU_DYNAMIC_LAMP_DYNCO`, :data:`gpu.GPU_DYNAMIC_LAMP_DYNIMAT` and :data:`gpu.GPU_DYNAMIC_LAMP_DYNPERSMAT`
|
|
refer to the lamp object position and orientation, both of can be derived from the object world matrix:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: python
|
|
|
|
obmat = uniform['lamp'].matrix_world
|
|
|
|
where obmat is the mat4_lamp_to_world_ matrix of the lamp as a 2 dimensional array,
|
|
the lamp world location location is in obmat[3].
|
|
|
|
* The uniform types :data:`gpu.GPU_DYNAMIC_LAMP_DYNENERGY` and :data:`gpu.GPU_DYNAMIC_LAMP_DYNCOL` refer to the lamp data bloc that you get from:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: python
|
|
|
|
la = uniform['lamp'].data
|
|
|
|
from which you get la.energy and la.color
|
|
|
|
* Lamp duplication is not supported: if you have duplicated lamps in your scene
|
|
(i.e. lamp that are instantiated by dupligroup, etc), this element will only
|
|
give you a reference to the orignal lamp and you will not know which instance
|
|
of the lamp it is refering too. You can still handle that case in the exporter
|
|
by distributing the uniforms amongst the duplicated lamps.
|
|
|
|
* ['image'] : :class:`bpy.types.Image`
|
|
Reference to the image databloc. Set for uniform type :data:`gpu.GPU_DYNAMIC_SAMPLER_2DIMAGE`. You can get the image data from:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: python
|
|
|
|
# full path to image file
|
|
uniform['image'].filepath
|
|
# image size as a 2-dimensional array of int
|
|
uniform['image'].size
|
|
|
|
* ['texnumber'] : integer
|
|
Channel number to which the texture is bound when drawing the object.
|
|
Set for uniform types :data:`gpu.GPU_DYNAMIC_SAMPLER_2DBUFFER`, :data:`gpu.GPU_DYNAMIC_SAMPLER_2DIMAGE` and :data:`gpu.GPU_DYNAMIC_SAMPLER_2DSHADOW`.
|
|
|
|
This is provided for information only: when reusing the shader outside blencer,
|
|
you are free to assign the textures to the channel of your choice and to pass
|
|
that number channel to the GPU in the uniform.
|
|
|
|
* ['texpixels'] : byte array
|
|
texture data for uniform type :data:`gpu.GPU_DYNAMIC_SAMPLER_2DBUFFER`. Although
|
|
the corresponding uniform is a 2D sampler, the texture is always a 1D texture
|
|
of n x 1 pixel. The texture size n is provided in ['texsize'] element.
|
|
These texture are only used for computer generated texture (colorband, etc).
|
|
The texture data is provided so that you can make a real image out of it in the
|
|
exporter.
|
|
|
|
* ['texsize'] : integer
|
|
horizontal size of texture for uniform type :data:`gpu.GPU_DYNAMIC_SAMPLER_2DBUFFER`.
|
|
The texture data is in ['texpixels'].
|
|
|
|
* ['attributes'] : sequence
|
|
list of attributes used in vertex shader, can be empty. Blender doesn't use
|
|
standard attributes except for vertex position and normal. All other vertex
|
|
attributes must be passed using the generic glVertexAttrib functions.
|
|
The attribute data can be found in the derived mesh custom data using RNA.
|
|
Each element of the sequence is a dictionary containing the following elements:
|
|
|
|
* ['varname'] : string
|
|
name of the uniform in the vertex shader. Always of the form 'att<number>'.
|
|
|
|
* ['datatype'] : integer
|
|
data type of vertex attribute, can be one of the following:
|
|
|
|
* :data:`gpu.GPU_DATA_2F` : use glVertexAttrib2fv
|
|
* :data:`gpu.GPU_DATA_3F` : use glVertexAttrib3fv
|
|
* :data:`gpu.GPU_DATA_4F` : use glVertexAttrib4fv
|
|
* :data:`gpu.GPU_DATA_4UB` : use glVertexAttrib4ubv
|
|
|
|
* ['number'] : integer
|
|
generic attribute number. This is provided for information only. Blender
|
|
doesn't use glBindAttribLocation to place generic attributes at specific location,
|
|
it lets the shader compiler place the attributes automatically and query the
|
|
placement with glGetAttribLocation. The result of this placement is returned in
|
|
this element.
|
|
|
|
When using this shader in a render engine, you should either use
|
|
glBindAttribLocation to force the attribute at this location or use
|
|
glGetAttribLocation to get the placement chosen by the compiler of your GPU.
|
|
|
|
* ['type'] : integer
|
|
type of the mesh custom data from which the vertex attribute is loaded.
|
|
See attribute-type_.
|
|
|
|
* ['name'] : string or integer
|
|
custom data layer name, used for attribute type :data:`gpu.CD_MTFACE` and :data:`gpu.CD_MCOL`.
|
|
|
|
Example:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: python
|
|
|
|
import gpu
|
|
# get GLSL shader of material Mat.001 in scene Scene.001
|
|
scene = bpy.data.scenes['Scene.001']
|
|
material = bpy.data.materials['Mat.001']
|
|
shader = gpu.export_shader(scene,material)
|
|
# scan the uniform list and find the images used in the shader

if uniform['type'] == gpu.GPU_DYNAMIC_SAMPLER_2DIMAGE:
|
|
print("uniform {0} is using image {1}".format(uniform['varname'], uniform['image'].filepath))
|
|
# scan the attribute list and find the UV layer used in the shader
|
|
for attribute in shader['attributes']:
|
|
if attribute['type'] == gpu.CD_MTFACE:
|

.. _mat4_lamp_to_perspective:
|
|
|
|
1. Calculation of the *mat4_lamp_to_perspective* matrix for a spot lamp.
|
|
|
|
The following pseudo code shows how the *mat4_lamp_to_perspective* matrix is computed
|
|
in blender for uniforms of :data:`gpu.GPU_DYNAMIC_LAMP_DYNPERSMAT` type::
|
|
|
|
#Get the lamp datablock with:
|
|
lamp=bpy.data.objects[uniform['lamp']].data
|
|
|
|
#Compute the projection matrix:
|
|
# You will need these lamp attributes:
|
|
# lamp.clipsta : near clip plane in world unit
|
|
# lamp.clipend : far clip plane in world unit
|
|
# lamp.spotsize : angle in degree of the spot light
|
|
|
|
#The size of the projection plane is computed with the usual formula:
|
|
wsize = lamp.clista * tan(lamp.spotsize/2)
|
|
|
|
#And the projection matrix:
|
|
mat4_lamp_to_perspective = glFrustum(-wsize,wsize,-wsize,wsize,lamp.clista,lamp.clipend)
|
|
|
|
2. Creation of the shadow map for a spot lamp.
|
|
|
|
The shadow map is the depth buffer of a render performed by placing the camera at the
