Week 4 Lecture 1: OpenGL 3.x & 4.x

2 Objectives Changes in OpenGL 3.x 4.x Changes in GLSL 1.3/4/5 4.x

3 Fixed Function / Immediate Mode OpenGL 3.x deprecated stuff includes: ­immediate mode (Begin/End etc) ­Vertex specification ­Vertex Arrays ­Matrices ­Texture Coordinates ­Lighting ­All fixed-function options ­pixel formats with colour palettes

4 I Need My Immediate Mode! Why have they done this? Shaders! Shader performance is so much better that immediate mode is no longer competative. Direct X Direct X was outperforming OpenGL since Direct X 10 Hardware New Graphics cards were reducing fixed functionality support in order to focus on gpu.

5 Angel: Interactive Computer Graphics 5E © Addison-Wesley 2009 No, Really, I want immediate mode. Ok, immediate mode is still available if you include OpenGL’s compatibility profile. A core profile and a compatibility profile exist… int attribs[] = { WGL_CONTEXT_MAJOR_VERSION_ARB, major, WGL_CONTEXT_MINOR_VERSION_ARB, minor, WGL_CONTEXT_FLAGS_ARB, WGL_CONTEXT_FORWARD_COMPATIBLE_BIT_ARB, WGL_CONTEXT_PROFILE_MASK_ARB, WGL_CONTEXT_CORE_PROFILE_BIT_ARB, 0 }; PFNWGLCREATECONTEXTATTRIBSARBPROC wglCreateContextAttribsARB = NULL; wglCreateContextAttribsARB = (PFNWGLCREATECONTEXTATTRIBSARBPROC) wglGetProcAddress("wglCreateContextAttribsARB"); if(wglCreateContextAttribsARB != NULL) { m_hrc = wglCreateContextAttribsARB(pDC->m_hDC,0, attribs); }

10 Angel: Interactive Computer Graphics 5E © Addison-Wesley 2009 Geometry Shaders Take vertices (of a primitive) Output Primitives (triangle strip, points, line) Can create new vertices, unlike vertex shaders, which are limited to a 1:1 input to output ratio. Layered rendering; this means that the GS can specifically say that a primitive is to be rendered to a particular layer of the framebuffer.

11 Angel: Interactive Computer Graphics 5E © Addison-Wesley 2009 Geometry Shaders #version 150 layout(triangles) in; layout(triangle_strip, max_vertices = 3) out; void main() { for(int i = 0; i < gl_in.length(); i++) { gl_Position = gl_in[i].gl_Position; EmitVertex(); } EndPrimitive(); }

12 Angel: Interactive Computer Graphics 5E © Addison-Wesley 2009 Uniform Buffer Objects Allow blocks of data to be transferred as a single variable to shader. Need a layout parameter to define memory layout. uniform BlockName { vec3 blockMember1, blockMember2; float blockMember3; } glslBlockName;

13 Angel: Interactive Computer Graphics 5E © Addison-Wesley 2009 Example (Projection/Model Matrix now need to be manually passed) #version 140 uniform Transformation { mat4 projection_matrix; mat4 modelview_matrix; }; in vec3 vertex; void main() { gl_Position = projection_matrix * modelview_matrix * vec4(vertex, 1.0); }

14 Angel: Interactive Computer Graphics 5E © Addison-Wesley 2009 Layout Defines memory structure of passed variables. For UBO it can be std140, packed, or shared. Packed or Shared needs the byte offset to access, std140 is more user friendly but may not be optimal. Layout can be set for other compound memory, e.g. row_major or colomn_major for matrices, triangles for vertex arrays etc.

15 Angel: Interactive Computer Graphics 5E © Addison-Wesley 2009 Tessellation Control Processor Programmable unit that operates on a patch of incoming vertices and their associated data, emitting a new output patch. Invoked for each vertex of the output patch. Each invocation can read the attributes of any vertex in the input or output patches, but can only write per- vertex attributes for the corresponding output patch vertex. As many shaders can run, the built-in function barrier() can be used to control execution order by synchronizing invocations, dividing tessellation control shader execution into a set of phases.

16 Angel: Interactive Computer Graphics 5E © Addison-Wesley 2009 Tessellation Evaluation Processor Evaluates the position and other attributes of a vertex generated by the tessellation primitive generator, using a patch of incoming vertices and their associated data. computes the position and attributes of a single vertex generated by the tessellation primitive generator. Reads the attributes of any vertex in the input patch, plus the tessellation coordinate, which is the relative location of the vertex in the primitive being tessellated. The executable writes the position and other attributes of the vertex.
