How to pass variables to shader code through main program?

[shaill]

As title,
In my main.cpp, how can I pass the variables(ex. texture, float4, matrix..) to shader code?

Is there any tutorial to teach these things?

Thanks a lot!!

I've never used it, and I'm not sure if this is what you're looking for:

http://www.ogre3d.org/docs/api/html/cla ... eters.html

Code: Select all

GpuProgramParametersSharedPtr mParams;
mParams = material->getTechnique()->getPass()->getVertexProgram();
mParams = material->getTechnique()->getPass()->getFragmentProgram();
mParams->setNamedConstant("name", value);

Got it!! Thanks!!^^
If there is more detailed information, please tell me.

Yes, it is - read the page. It talks about setting custom parameters through each renderable item. If you're just talking about materials, that's covered there a bit too.

I love this feature in OGRE... I setup some named parameters in a program definition:

Code: Select all

...
default_params
{
        // These are overwritten from within code when FFF changes
        param_named fFFOptions float4 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0
        param_named fFFForceFactor float 0.0
        param_named fFFNearFarClipDistances float4 0.0 1000.0 0 1
        param_named fFFViewMatrix matrix4x4 1 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 1
...

and in code I set these when needed changed:

Code: Select all

MaterialPtr mat = (MaterialPtr)MaterialManager::getSingleton().getByName("MyMaterial");
Pass* pass = mat->getTechnique("Default")->getPass(0);
GpuProgramParametersSharedPtr parameters = pass->getVertexProgramParameters();
parameters->setNamedConstant("fFFOptions", mData->fFFToggleOptions);
parameters->setNamedConstant("fFFForceFactor", mData->forceFieldCameraForceFactor);
parameters->setNamedConstant("fFFNearFarClipDistances", mData->fFFNearFarClipDistance);
parameters->setNamedConstant("fFFViewMatrix", mData->fFFCameraViewMatrix);
...

Thanks kro and HexiDave.
I'll read it!!
