Hi,
I am trying to add a SSR post-processor to my engine, and although I've sound several samples on the net, one reason or another stops me from getting them working
within my engine. here is the basic shader I use, along with some questions. I'm sure the shader would work, I'm just not sure i'm passing the correct data,
as the tutorials/samples never included C++ code, just the shader code.
out vec3 color;
uniform mat4 invView;
uniform mat4 proj;
uniform mat4 invProj;
uniform mat4 view;
uniform sampler2D tDepth;
uniform sampler2D tNorm;
uniform sampler2D tFrame;
noperspective in vec2 UV;
const float step = 0.1;
const float minRayStep = 0.1;
const float maxSteps = 30;
const int numBinarySearchSteps = 5;
const float reflectionSpecularFalloffExponent = 3.0;
float Metallic;
#define Scale vec3(.8, .8, .8)
#define K 19.19
vec3 CalcViewPosition(in vec2 TexCoord)
{
// Combine UV & depth into XY & Z (NDC)
vec3 rawPosition = vec3(TexCoord, texture(tDepth, TexCoord).r);
// Convert from (0, 1) range to (-1, 1)
vec4 ScreenSpacePosition = vec4( rawPosition * 2 - 1, 1);
// Undo Perspective transformation to bring into view space
vec4 ViewPosition = invProj * ScreenSpacePosition;
// Perform perspective divide and return
return ViewPosition.xyz / ViewPosition.w;
}
vec3 PositionFromDepth(float depth) {
float z = depth * 2.0 - 1.0;
vec4 clipSpacePosition = vec4(UV * 2.0 - 1.0, z, 1.0);
vec4 viewSpacePosition = invProj * clipSpacePosition;
// Perspective division
viewSpacePosition /= viewSpacePosition.w;
return viewSpacePosition.xyz;
}
vec3 BinarySearch(inout vec3 dir, inout vec3 hitCoord, inout float dDepth)
{
float depth;
vec4 projectedCoord;
for(int i = 0; i < numBinarySearchSteps; i++)
{
projectedCoord = proj * vec4(hitCoord, 1.0);
projectedCoord.xy /= projectedCoord.w;
projectedCoord.xy = projectedCoord.xy * 0.5 + 0.5;
depth = texture(tDepth, projectedCoord.xy).z;
dDepth = hitCoord.z - depth;
dir *= 0.5;
if(dDepth > 0.0)
hitCoord += dir;
else
hitCoord -= dir;
}
projectedCoord = proj * vec4(hitCoord, 1.0);
projectedCoord.xy /= projectedCoord.w;
projectedCoord.xy = projectedCoord.xy * 0.5 + 0.5;
return vec3(projectedCoord.xy, depth);
}
vec4 RayMarch(vec3 dir, inout vec3 hitCoord, out float dDepth)
{
dir *= step;
float depth;
int steps;
vec4 projectedCoord;
for(int i = 0; i < maxSteps; i++)
{
hitCoord += dir;
projectedCoord = proj * vec4(hitCoord, 1.0);
projectedCoord.xy /= projectedCoord.w;
projectedCoord.xy = projectedCoord.xy * 0.5 + 0.5;
depth = texture(tDepth, projectedCoord.xy).z;
if(depth > 1000.0)
continue;
dDepth = hitCoord.z - depth;
if((dir.z - dDepth) < 1.2)
{
if(dDepth <= 0.0)
{
vec4 Result;
Result = vec4(BinarySearch(dir, hitCoord, dDepth), 1.0);
return Result;
}
}
steps++;
}
return vec4(projectedCoord.xy, depth, 0.0);
}
vec3 fresnelSchlick(float cosTheta, vec3 F0)
{
return F0 + (1.0 - F0) * pow(1.0 - cosTheta, 5.0);
}
vec3 hash(vec3 a)
{
a = fract(a * Scale);
a += dot(a, a.yxz + K);
return fract((a.xxy + a.yxx)*a.zyx);
}
void main(){
vec3 viewNormal = vec3(texture(tNorm,UV) * invView);
vec3 viewPos = CalcViewPosition(UV);
vec3 albedo = texture(tFrame,UV).rgb;
Metallic = 0.4f;
float spec = 0.2f;
vec3 F0 = vec3(0.04);
F0 = mix(F0, albedo, Metallic);
vec3 Fresnel = fresnelSchlick(max(dot(normalize(viewNormal), normalize(viewPos)), 0.0), F0);
vec3 reflected = normalize(reflect(normalize(viewPos), normalize(viewNormal)));
vec3 hitPos = viewPos;
float dDepth;
vec3 wp = vec3(vec4(viewPos, 1.0) * invView);
vec3 jitt = mix(vec3(0.0), vec3(hash(wp)), spec);
vec4 coords = RayMarch((vec3(jitt) + reflected * max(minRayStep, -viewPos.z)), hitPos, dDepth);
vec2 dCoords = smoothstep(0.2, 0.6, abs(vec2(0.5, 0.5) - coords.xy));
float screenEdgefactor = clamp(1.0 - (dCoords.x + dCoords.y), 0.0, 1.0);
float ReflectionMultiplier = pow(Metallic, reflectionSpecularFalloffExponent) *
screenEdgefactor *
-reflected.z;
// Get color
vec3 SSR = texture(tFrame, coords.xy).rgb;// * clamp(ReflectionMultiplier, 0.0, 0.9) * Fresnel;
color = SSR;
}So my questions are,
1) Matrixes passed.
uniform mat4 invView; - This is the View matrix, this means the world matrix of the camera? Before or after inverstion?
uniform mat4 proj; - The project matrix? I.e the Perspective matrix
uniform mat4 invProj; - inverse of above?
uniform mat4 view; - view matrix not inverted?
uniform sampler2D tDepth; - the depth of the scene, rendered from camera position? 0.1 0 = minZ 1.0 = maxZ
uniform sampler2D tNorm; - the world normals of rendered from camera? I.e 0.5 + normal * 0.5;?
uniform sampler2D tFrame; - the final color buffer to read the reflected pixel from?
I've tried several shaders, tried re-implemented here and there based on other shaders, but the final result is always very off, i mean just not working at all?
If you're not sure what's wrong with the above shader could you link me to a working shader, prefably with c++ code so I can understand it fully, not just the final shader?
Cheers.
