to upload a single part of a larger buffer

F

fornite•4/3/23, 10:17 AM

wait

A

Aqua•4/3/23, 10:18 AM

so you can update subsections of the buffer with data
aka
BufferSubData lol

LLyris the Kitori to upload a single part of a larger buffer

L

Lyris the KitoriOP•4/3/23, 10:18 AM

such as a single shape, in a buffer with many of them

F

fornite•4/3/23, 10:18 AM

if i make like functions to draw texturres

F

fornite•4/3/23, 10:18 AM

do i need to put it into these buffers too

L

Lyris the KitoriOP•4/3/23, 10:18 AM

lets ignore texturing until you get the basics down lol

L

Lyris the KitoriOP•4/3/23, 10:18 AM

thats a whole 'nother mess

F

fornite•4/3/23, 10:18 AM

jesus

L

Lyris the KitoriOP•4/3/23, 10:19 AM

texturing will just "make sense" once you get the concepts of buffers and vertex layouts and shaders down

L

Lyris the KitoriOP•4/3/23, 10:19 AM

but for now, we shall ignore textures for our sanity, and yours

F

fornite•4/3/23, 10:19 AM

HAHAHA

F

fornite•4/3/23, 10:19 AM

hold on

F

fornite•4/3/23, 10:19 AM

what makes my rectangles orange

F

fornite•4/3/23, 10:19 AM

is it the shader

L

Lyris the KitoriOP•4/3/23, 10:19 AM

your shader

F

fornite•4/3/23, 10:19 AM

or is it like a default color

L

Lyris the KitoriOP•4/3/23, 10:20 AM

look at your fragment shader

LLyris the Kitori your shader

F

fornite•4/3/23, 10:20 AM

where do i specify the color orange though

L

Lyris the KitoriOP•4/3/23, 10:20 AM

explain what it does to me

F

fornite•4/3/23, 10:20 AM

ok one sec

L

Lyris the KitoriOP•4/3/23, 10:20 AM

read through the shader code line by line, and write comments explaining it

L

Lyris the KitoriOP•4/3/23, 10:20 AM

if you dont know something at all, just put a question mark

A

Aqua•4/3/23, 10:20 AM

the tutorial on the website goes over exactly what the fragment shader does

A

Aqua•4/3/23, 10:23 AM

yes the vec4 contains the output color

A

Aqua•4/3/23, 10:23 AM

in this case an orange

A

Aqua•4/3/23, 10:23 AM

it's in RGBA format

L

Lyris the KitoriOP•4/3/23, 10:23 AM

4 floats

AAqua the tutorial on the website goes over exactly what the fragment shader does

F

fornite•4/3/23, 10:23 AM

if the fragment shader changes the colors of the pixels inside the shape

F

fornite•4/3/23, 10:23 AM

what is the point of the vertex shader

F

fornite•4/3/23, 10:23 AM

on the tutorial

F

fornite•4/3/23, 10:23 AM

it said like rotations or something

F

fornite•4/3/23, 10:23 AM

but what does that mean

A

Aqua•4/3/23, 10:23 AM

the vertex shader tells the GPU where to place the vertices

A

Aqua•4/3/23, 10:24 AM

so you can apply transformations to the vertices to place them in different points

A

Aqua•4/3/23, 10:24 AM

in the tutorial we're just giving a very basic example so the vertex shader does very little

A

Aqua•4/3/23, 10:24 AM

but in actuality the vertex shader is extremely important

A

Aqua•4/3/23, 10:25 AM

just as important as the fragment shader

A

Aqua•4/3/23, 10:26 AM

again the tutorial goes over literally everything in that shader

F

fornite•4/3/23, 10:26 AM

let me look

F

fornite•4/3/23, 10:28 AM

so is aposition a value created by me or like an argument passed in by the driver

A

Aqua•4/3/23, 10:29 AM

notice where you set up glVertexAttribArray? this sets up what data aPosition gets sent to

A

Aqua•4/3/23, 10:29 AM

take a look at what it does

F

fornite•4/3/23, 10:30 AM

positionLoc

A

Aqua•4/3/23, 10:30 AM

again, this is described in the tutorial

F

fornite•4/3/23, 10:30 AM

shader attributes

F

fornite•4/3/23, 10:31 AM

okay so

F

fornite•4/3/23, 10:31 AM

back to buffersubdata

F

fornite•4/3/23, 10:31 AM

ill look at that

to upload a single part of a larger buffer
