NAME

6       coin_shaders - Shaders in Coin Coin 2.5 added support for shaders. The
7       main nodes used are SoShaderProgram, SoVertexShader, SoFragmentShader,
8       and SoGeometryShader. A typical scene graph with shaders will look
9       something like this:
10
11       Separator {
12         ShaderProgram {
13           shaderObject [
14             VertexShader {
15               sourceProgram "myvertexshader.glsl"
16               parameter [
17                 ShaderParameter1f { name "myvertexparam" value 1.0 }
18               ]
19             }
20             FragmentShader {
21               sourceProgram "myfragmentshader.glsl"
22               parameter [
23                 ShaderParameter1f { name "myfragmentparam" value 2.0 }
24               ]
25             }
26           ]
27         }
28         Cube { }
29       }
30
31       This will render the Cube with the vertex and fragment shaders
32       specified in myvertexshader.glsl and myfragmentshader.glsl. Coin also
33       supports ARB shaders and Cg shaders (if the Cg library is installed).
34       However, we recommend using GLSL since we will focus mostly on support
35       this shader language.
36
37       Coin defines some named parameters that can be added by the application
38       programmer, and which will be automatically updated by Coin while
39       traversing the scene graph.
40
41       • coin_texunit[n]_model - Set to 0 when texturing is disabled, and to
42         SoTextureImageElement::Model if there's a current texture on the
43         state for unit n.
44       • coin_light_model - Set to 1 for PHONG, 0 for BASE_COLOR lighting.
45       Example scene graph that renders per-fragment OpenGL Phong lighting for
46       one light source. The shaders assume the first light source is a
47       directional light. This is the case if you open the file in a standard
48       examiner viewer.
