GlslViewer DEFINES

Beside the defines you can pass as an argument using -D[define] you can relay on the following native defines automatically generated for you.

• GLSLVIEWER <GLSLVIEWER_VERSION_WOUT_DOTS>: you can use it to tell your shader it's being render in GlslViewer.

Platform defines

• PLATFORM_OSX: added only on MacOS/OSX platforms.

• PLATFORM_RPI: added only only on RaspberryPi devices.

• PLATFORM_LINUX: added only in i86 and 64bit Linux platforms.

Buffers and Render Passes

The following defines fork and reuse the same shader program in different passes

• BACKGROUND: added a background subshader when rendering a 3D geometry.

• FLOOR: add a floor geometry and fork the behavior of the shader to render the floor using it

• BUFFER_[NUMBER]: added extra buffer passes through branching subshader. Each time you add a uniform sampler2D u_buffer[NUMBER];, glslViewer will run another version of the same shader code but with the #define BUFFER_[NUMBER] on top and save the content into u_buffer[NUMBER] texture buffer. This way you can code different buffers with a single source file. Please take a look to this examples to see how this works.

• POSTPROCESSING: added a post-processing pass where the main scene have been render to uniform sampler2D u_scene; and uniform sampler2D u_sceneDepth;.

Geometry defines

• MODEL_NAME_<NAME>: only OBJ file import a name. Default is MODEL_NAME_MESH

• MODEL_VERTEX_COLOR: if the model have a vertex color attribute will be follow by the name of the attribute (Default: a_color)

• MODEL_VERTEX_NORMAL: if the model have a vertex normal attribute will be follow by the name of the attribute (Default: a_normal`)

• MODEL_VERTEX_TEXCOORD: if the model have a vertex normal attribute will be follow by the name of the attribute (Default: a_texcoord)

• MODEL_VERTEX_TANGENT: if the model have a vertex normal attribute will be follow by the name of the attribute (Default: a_tangent)

Material defines

• MATERIAL_NAME_[NAME]: only OBJ file import a name. Default is MATERIAL_NAME_DEFAULT

• MATERIAL_ILLUM: integer between 0 to 10. Specs from here
