I have began to create some shaders for my university group project however I have ran into a bit of a snag with my water shader. I am trying to create one which utilises two overlapping normal maps.
Whilst everything looks okay in the editor, when I then publish to the webplayer, the scene looks like its unlit.
Heres my code for the shader:
//
// Filename : WaterShader.shader

{
// Set up variables so we can access them in inspector mode

// Variable to control the colour tint
_Color ("Base Color", Color) = (1, 1, 1, 1)
// Variables for specular
_SpecularColor ("Specular Color", Color) = (1, 1, 1, 1)
_SpecularAmount ("Shininess", Float) = 10
// Variable for setting the base texture
_MainTex ("Water Texture", 2D) = "white" { }
// Variables to set the normal map 1
_BumpMapA ("Normal Map", 2D) = "bump" { }
_BumpDepthA ("Depth", Range(0.25, 10.0)) = 1
// Variables to set the normal map 2
_BumpMapB ("Normal Map", 2D) = "bump" { }
_BumpDepthB ("Depth", Range(0.25, 10.0)) = 1

In the editor it looks like this:
Where as in the webplayer it looks like this:
Anyone able to help me see where I have gone wrong? :)
You need a separate pass of pixel light in the scene for the web player. Replace your current SubShader Parameters with
SubShader

I use unity 2018.3.5f1. I would like to overlay a custom shader while rendering an image. Following is my onRenderImage Function.
void OnRenderImage(RenderTexture src, RenderTexture dest) {
// shaderMaterial renders the image with Barrel distortion and disparity effect
Graphics.Blit(camTextureHolder.mainTexture, nullRenderTexture, shaderMaterial);
// measure average frames per second
m_FpsAccumulator++;
if (Time.realtimeSinceStartup > m_FpsNextPeriod) {
m_CurrentFps = (int)(m_FpsAccumulator / fpsMeasurePeriod);
m_FpsAccumulator = 0;
m_FpsNextPeriod += fpsMeasurePeriod;
}
}
The issue is that the entire screen appears to be black while I'm trying to do so. May I know how do I fix this issue?
Update:
This is the code for the shader that I'm using
Shader "Custom/FakeAR"
{
Properties{
_MainTex("", 2D) = "white" {}
[HideInInspector]_FOV("FOV", Range(1, 2)) = 1.6
[HideInInspector]_Disparity("Disparity", Range(0, 0.3)) = 0.1
[HideInInspector]_Alpha("Alpha", Range(0, 2.0)) = 1.0
}
SubShader{
Pass{
CGPROGRAM
#pragma vertex vert
#pragma fragment frag
#include "UnityCG.cginc"
struct v2f {
float4 pos : POSITION;
float2 uv : TEXCOORD0;
};
// Default Vertex Shader
v2f vert(appdata_img v) {
v2f o;
o.pos = UnityObjectToClipPos(v.vertex);
o.uv = MultiplyUV(UNITY_MATRIX_TEXTURE0, v.texcoord.xy);
return o;
}
// Parameters
sampler2D _MainTex;
float _FOV;
// Alpha is the ratio of pixel density: width to height
float _Alpha;
// Disparity is the portion to separate
// larger disparity cause closer stereovision
float _Disparity;
// Fragment Shader: Remap the texture coordinates to combine
// barrel distortion and disparity video display
fixed4 frag(v2f i) : COLOR {
float2 uv1, uv2, uv3;
float t1, t2;
float offset;
// uv1 is the remap of left and right screen to a full screen
uv1 = i.uv - 0.5;
uv1.x = uv1.x * 2 - 0.5 + sign(i.uv.x < 0.5);
t1 = sqrt(1.0 - uv1.x * uv1.x - uv1.y * uv1.y);
t2 = 1.0 / (t1 * tan(_FOV * 0.5));
// uv2 is the remap of side screen with barrel distortion
uv2 = uv1 * t2 + 0.5;
// black color for out-of-range pixels
if (uv2.x >= 1 || uv2.y >= 1 || uv2.x <= 0 || uv2.y <= 0) {
return fixed4(0, 0, 0, 1);
}
else {
offset = 0.5 - _Alpha * 0.5 + _Disparity * 0.5 - _Disparity * sign(i.uv.x < 0.5);
// uv3 is the remap of image texture
uv3 = uv2;
uv3.x = uv2.x * _Alpha + offset;
return tex2D(_MainTex, uv3);
}
}
ENDCG
}
}

Is it because of the shader?
Well I think it's working it's just that the shader has nothing to render meaning it goes for black. You might want the shader to use the excisting camera texture. So maybe this?
void OnRenderImage(RenderTexture src, RenderTexture dest) {
// shaderMaterial renders the image with Barrel distortion and disparity effect
Graphics.Blit(src, dst, shaderMaterial);
// measure average frames per second
m_FpsAccumulator++;
if (Time.realtimeSinceStartup > m_FpsNextPeriod) {
m_CurrentFps = (int)(m_FpsAccumulator / fpsMeasurePeriod);
m_FpsAccumulator = 0;
m_FpsNextPeriod += fpsMeasurePeriod;
}
}
Try making the shader really default and see if it renders something. So try a shader that looks like this:
Shader "Examples/ExampleDisplacement"
{
Properties
{
_MainTex("Texture", 2D) = "white" {}
}
SubShader
{
// No culling or depth
Cull Off ZWrite Off ZTest Always

So I am having trouble rendering a shadow map in a shader I'm kind of new to shader coding(roughly 3 months), I'll talk you through what I am doing(well what I think I am doing).
So to start off by creating a script(ShadowCopy.cs) which copies the shadow map then passes it to a global variable(_MyShadowMap). Now the shader(ShadowMapping.shader), then I create getShadowCoord which calculates the shadowMap then applies the getCascadeWeights() to the shadow Coordinates(for Optimal reasons).
Then I create computeCameraSpacePosFromDepthAndInvProjMat() which computes the camera space position based from depth and inverse projection matrix. Now the frag function which renders the pixels
making it visible in the Application, but overall its just Screen-Space-Shadows.
So the problem I am facing are the Projection Values which I honestly don't know how to fix. You can see the Problem in the picture.

Hi fellow Unity devs,
I have been trying to modify the built in Unity shader for Skybox/Cubemap, such that it takes a second cubemap, and has a blend factor between the two.
I have attempted the following shader script, however it does not produce the intended result, is anybody who knows more about shader code than me please able to assist in my learning/results? I am finding it very difficult to learn how to use shader code, only been using Unity for about 2-3 months.

The result is a grey view, and I don't think I am passing the c/c2 variables properly, or even if they CAN be passed like that. I am really stumped as to how I might achieve this effect.
The blend pass works fine for just the plain textures, but I need it to maintain the rotation values, not just the textures.
Thank you in advance to you shader/Unity experts out there! I hope one day to join your ranks.
So I'm trying to learn myself some HLSL, but I am stumped. I'm writing a custom shader that has ambient lighting and a simple point-light color thing.
Here is the shader code:
`float4x4 World;
float4x4 View;
float4x4 Projection;
// TODO: add effect parameters here.
float4 AmbientColor = float4(1, 1, 1, 1);
float AmbientIntensity = 0.5;
float4 DiffuseColor = float4(1, 1, 1, 1);
float3 LightPosition = float3(32, 32, 64);
float4 LightDiffuseColor = float4(0.3, 0.05, 0, 1); // intensity multiplier
float4 LightSpecularColor = float4(1, 1, 1, 1); // intensity multiplier
float LightDistance = 50;
texture Texture;
sampler2D textureSampler = sampler_state {
Texture = (Texture);
MinFilter = Point;
MagFilter = Point;
AddressU = Wrap;
AddressV = Wrap;
};
struct VertexShaderInput
{
float4 Pos: POSITION;
float2 TexCoords : TEXCOORD0;
float4 Normal : NORMAL0;
};
struct VertexShaderOutput
{
float4 PosOut : POSITION;
float2 TextureCoordinate : TEXCOORD0;
float3 Normal : TEXCOORD1;
};
VertexShaderOutput VertexShaderFunction(VertexShaderInput input)
{
VertexShaderOutput output;
float4 worldPosition = mul(input.Pos, World);
float4 viewPosition = mul(worldPosition, View);
output.PosOut= mul(viewPosition, Projection);
output.TextureCoordinate = input.TexCoords;
output.Normal = mul(input.Normal, World);
return output;
}
float4 PixelShaderFunction(VertexShaderOutput input) : COLOR0
{
float attenuation = saturate(1.0f - (length(input.PosOut - LightPosition) / LightDistance));
float4 textureColor = tex2D(textureSampler, input.TextureCoordinate);
textureColor.a = 1;
float4 lightCol =
//LightDiffuseColor;
mul(LightDiffuseColor, attenuation);
float4 ambient = (AmbientColor * AmbientIntensity);
ambient.a = 1;
return saturate(textureColor * ambient + lightCol);
}
technique Textured
{
pass Pass1
{
// TODO: set renderstates here.
VertexShader = compile vs_2_0 VertexShaderFunction();
PixelShader = compile ps_2_0 PixelShaderFunction();
}
}
`
The problem has been narrowed down to this section in the pixel shader:
float attenuation = saturate(1.0f - (length(input.PosOut - LightPosition) / LightDistance));
...
float4 lightCol =
//LightDiffuseColor;
mul(LightDiffuseColor, attenuation);
return saturate(textureColor * ambient + lightCol);
It will work fine if i use just the LightDiffuseColor, but as soon as I try to multiply it, it throws this error:
GameContentShadersSimpleTexture.fx(35,21) error X4502 invalid ps_2_0 input semantic 'POSITION'
I'm using XNA for the engine. I'm kinda stumped here. Can anyone help me?
Thanks,
Doodles.
Edit:
Mkay, so I've narrowed it down to a pretty precise spot. It's when the length function is called for (input.PosOut - LightPosition)
All right, so I have a solution for this. Instead of using per-pixel lighting for point lights, I should be using vertex lighting instead. The position semantic is not supported for pixel shader inputs, as seen here. But position still needs to be an ouput for the vertex shader, so it's included in the pixel shader input, but it cannot be used. My updated code is shown below:
float4x4 World;
float4x4 View;
float4x4 Projection;
// TODO: add effect parameters here.
float4 AmbientColor = float4(1, 1, 1, 1);
float AmbientIntensity = 0.5;

So I've been looking across the web to find an answer to this question, but I seem to be missing something.
I've got a little project going that dynamically creates 3D terrain in XNA 4.0, but I want be able to draw a circle (or any other shape for that matter, but let's first go with a circle) on the terrain.
Now I've read some things about 'projective texturing' but I'll admit I'm at a complete loss when it comes to shader-language.
The idea is that I can (dynamically) create a basic shape, say a circle with a 2 'units' diameter, then draw that on the terrain to function as an indicator where the cursor is. (I am able to get the cursor position on the 3D terrain.)
Would anyone know how to do this, is it required to use shaders for this? Any help on the matter is apreciated!
Thanks in advance!
You can use a shader ...
you pass as parameter to the terrain shader, the 3D world position of your cursor, and a radius... to define a sphere,
the trick is pass the vertex world position from the vertex shader to the pixel shader, and
in the pixel shader you only have to tint the output color if the pixel is being drawed, is inside the sphere.
EDIT: I have found an old shader done by myself... with two types of selection circle and box, here you are:
uniform float4x4 xWorldViewProjection;
uniform float3 xCursorPos;
uniform float xCursorRadio;
uniform float4 xLightColor = float4(0.8, 0.8, 0.8,1);
uniform float4 xAmbientFactor = 0.4f;
uniform float3 xCamPos;
uniform int xCursorType=0; // 0: Circle 1: Box

{

outNormal = inNormal;
outPos2 = inPos.xyz;

}
float4 PS_CursorPerPixelCircular ( in float4 inColor : COLOR, in float3 inPos:TEXCOORD0 ) : COLOR
{
float f = distance(inPos, xCursorPos);
float4 outColor = inColor;
if (f<xCursorRadio) {
outColor=lerp(float4(0,1,1,1), inColor, 0.4) ;
}
return outColor;
}

{
float3 size = float3(xCursorRadio,xCursorRadio,xCursorRadio);
float3 minSize = xCursorPos - size;
float3 maxSize = xCursorPos + size;
float4 outColor = inColor;
if (inPos.x>=minSize.x && inPos.x<=maxSize.x && inPos.y>=minSize.y && inPos.y<=maxSize.y && inPos.z>=minSize.z && inPos.z<=maxSize.z )
{
outColor=lerp(float4(0,1,1,1), inColor, 0.4) ;
}
return outColor;
}
void PS_Basico(
in float4 inColor : COLOR0,
in float3 inPos:TEXCOORD0,
in float3 inNormal:TEXCOORD1,
out float4 outColor: COLOR0
)
{
float3 xLightPos = float3(40, 40, 0);
float3 LightDir = normalize(inPos - xLightPos);
float3 reflectionVector = reflect(LightDir, inNormal);
float3 eyeVector = inPos - xCamPos;
float specular = dot(normalize(reflectionVector), normalize(eyeVector));
specular = pow(specular, 256);
float difusse_factor = -dot(normalize(inNormal), LightDir);

if (xCursorType ==0)
{

} else {

}
col.a = 1;
col.rgb += specular;
/* col.xyz = col.xyz * (inPos.y+1) / 2;
col.y = 2*col.x;
col.z = 2*col.x;
*/
outColor = col;
//outColor = float4(inNormal, 1);
