An effect consists of parameters and techniques. The "parameters"
section of an effect is a tree of values that describe, abstractly,
the graphical appearence of objects that use the effect. Techniques
refer to these parameters and use them to set OpenGL state or to
set parameters for shader programs. Parameters can be declared to
have a dynamic variance, which means that if their value is changed
the corresponding value in the technique will be changed too.
Effects describe the graphical appearance of 3d objects and scenery in
FlightGear. The main motivation for effects is to support OpenGL
shaders and to provide different implementations for graphics hardware
of varying capabilities. Effects are similar to DirectX effects files
and Ogre3D material scripts.
A technique can contain a predicate that describes the OpenGL
functionality required to support the technique. The first
technique with a valid predicate in the list of techniques is used
to set up the graphics state of the effect. A technique with no
predicate is always assumed to be valid.
An effect is a property list. The property list syntax is extended
with new "vec3d" and "vec4d" types to support common computer graphics
values. Effects are read from files with a ".eff" extension or can be
created on-the-fly by FlightGear at runtime. An effect consists of a
"parameters" section followed by "technique" descriptions. The
"parameters" section is a tree of values that describe, abstractly,
the graphical appearence of objects that use the effect. Techniques
refer to these parameters and use them to set OpenGL state or to set
parameters for shader programs.
A technique can consist of several passes, which are run in
sequence.
Parameters can be declared to have a dynamic variance, which means
that if their value is changed the corresponding value in the
technique will be changed too. [TO BE IMPLEMENTED]
A technique can contain a predicate that describes the OpenGL
functionality required to support the technique. The first
technique with a valid predicate in the list of techniques is used
to set up the graphics state of the effect. A technique with no
predicate is always assumed to be valid. The predicate is written in a
little expression language that supports the following primitives:
and, or, equal, less, less-equal
glversion - returns the version number of OpenGL
extension-supported - returns true if an OpenGL extension is supported
property - returns the boolean value of a property
A technique can consist of several passes. A pass is basically an Open
Scene Graph StateSet. Ultimately all OpenGL and OSG modes and state
attributes will be setable in a technique. The following are
are currently implemented:
lighting - true, false
shade-model - flat, smooth
cull-face - front, back, front-back
rendering-hint - (OSG) opaque, transparent
render-bin - children: bin-number, bin-name
material - children: ambient, ambient-front, ambient-back, diffuse,
diffuse-front, diffuse-back, specular, specular-front,
specular-back, emissive, emissive-front, emissive-back, shininess,
shininess-front, shininess-back, color-mode
blend - true, false
alpha-test - true, false
texture-unit - has several child properties:
unit - The number of an OpenGL texture unit
type - This is either an OpenGL texture type or the name of a
builtin texture. Currently supported OpenGL types are 1d, 2d,
3d which have the following common parameters:
image (file name)
filter
mag-filter
wrap-s
wrap-t
wrap-r
The following builtin types are supported:
white - 1 pixel white texture
noise - a 3d noise texture
environment
mode
color
program
vertex-shader
fragment-shader
uniform
name
type - float, float-vec3, float-vec4, sampler-1d, sampler-2d,
sampler-3d
polygon-mode
front - fill, line, point
back - fill, line, point
One feature not fully illustrated in the sample below is that
effects can inherit from each other. The parent effect is listed in
the "inherits-from" form. The child effect's property tree is
overlaid over that of the parent. Nodes that have the same name and
property index -- set by the "n=" attribute in the property tag --
are recursively merged. Leaf property nodes from the child have
precedence. This means that effects that inherit from the example
effect below could be very short, listing just new
parameters and adding nothing to the techniques section;
alternatively, a technique could be altered or customized in a
child, listing (for example) a different shader program. Terrain
materials work in this way: for each material type in materials.xml
an effect is created that inherits from a single default terrain
effect. The parameters section of the effect is filled in using the
ambient, diffuse, specular, emissive, shininess, and transparent
fields of the material. Seperate effects are created for each texture
variant of a material.
Material animations will be implemented by creating a new effect
that inherits from one in a model, overriding the parameters that
will be animated.
