RemarksThis node defines a fragment shader.
See OIV.Inventor.Nodes.SoShaderProgram for general information about using shaders and shader parameters.
See parent class OIV.Inventor.Nodes.SoShaderObject for details about using the inherited fields.
Notes:
Shaders in the scene graph. Shader object nodes cannot be inserted directly in a scene graph. They must be added to the shaderObject field of an OIV.Inventor.Nodes.SoShaderProgram node.
Predefined GLSL variables. Open Inventor uses a compatibility profile context for rendering. So legacy GLSL predefined variables, for example gl_FragColor, can be used in fragment shaders. However, if you use the GLSL "#version" directive in a shader, you should append the keyword "compatibility", for example: "#version 150 compatibility".
Transparency. To maintain compatibility with Open Inventor's high quality transparency algorithms like SORTED_PIXEL, fragment shaders should not output a color by setting gl_FragColor (or equivalent parameter) directly. Use the GLSL method OivDepthPeelingOutputColor() instead. Fragment shaders can access the depthPeeling API using Open Inventor's built-in "include" mechanism as shown below. (Note: In the "oiv_include" statement there must not be any white space in the string "//!oiv_include". The space character shown below is required by a limitation of our documentation tools.)
void main() { if (OivDepthPeel( gl_FragCoord.xyz )) { // Compute and set fragment color vec4 color = . . . OivDepthPeelingOutputColor( color ); } }
Transparency. If a fragment shader makes geometry transparent (sets alpha values < 1), the application should set the OIV.Inventor.Nodes.SoShaderProgram.generateTransparency field to true. This ensures that Open Inventor knows to apply the correct handling for the current transparency mode.
Shadows. To integrate with Open Inventor's shadow casting algorithm, fragment shaders should call the GLSL methods OivComputeShadow() and OivGenerateShadowMap(). Please see OIV.Inventor.Nodes.SoShadowGroup for example code.
