NAME

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

57             }
58             FragmentShader {
59               sourceProgram "perpixel_fragment.glsl"
