Video OpenGL Shader

OpenGL shader player,compatible with single pass interactive shader format, shadertoy, glsl sandbox shaders with generally few adaptations.

In Usine, the openGL shader is made of a vertex, a fragment containing eventually interactive shader format definitions, and a header containing various definitions and compatibility settings.

It's outside the purpose of the manual to teach you how to create a shader but you can start with examples of the library. There are 3 kind of examples:

• draw: simples shaders which are drawing images with optional mouse interaction.

• isf: Interactive Shader Format shaders with extra inputs on the modules according to the ISF definitions.

• fx: shaders which are transforming an input image and contain a video input inlet.

The header contains the following compatibility definitions. It can be changed by editing the file /Resources/Templates/Shaders inside the application folder.

Settings

on

Activates or deactivates the module.

process time

Total time used for the calculation of the module.

video out

Video output flow(s).

speed

Overall speed of the shader.

• 1 = normal speed
• 0.5 = half speed
• 0 = stopped
• 10 = 10 times faster

restart

Restarts the shader (sets the time uniform to 0).

render width

Width in pixels of the shader video output.

render height

Height in pixels of the shader video output.

open shader editor

Opens the shader editor window.

file name

File name of the shader fragment to open.
