useful shading library?
Jun 28th, 2007, 3:33pm  
Hey Smiley

I've been playing with simple 'transformation-independent' depthshading and I'm wondering if it might be useful to anyone else.

A simply library can be found on http://klep.name/software/processing/depthshader/

Comments are welcome!

Regards,
Robert

sounds nice, but i can't view the examples:
"(Unsupported major.minor version 49.0)"

i think you have to recompile the library for a lower target to let us pre-java-1.5-people view and use it.

I hope it's fixed now, apparently OSX defaults to 1.5 these days.

Yes, it works now for us pre-java-1.5-folk. I like it and it's straight forward to use.

Have you considered different falloff types besides linear
(inverse, inverse square etc.)?. To give a different look and feel. Fairly easy to add it myself, I know. Just thinking out loud. Smiley

Thanks.

Right now, it's really just something I threw together, haven't even thought of implementing different methods of mapping the depth yet Smiley

Indeed it's quite easy to add yourself, but implementing it in the class itself (or perhaps in subclasses) would be quite nice!

Thanks for the idea, and I'll keep you posted on any updates.

Regards,
Robert

You could consider making the falloff an interface so that people can implement their own depth mappings and replace the default one easily.

I've put something together.

The demo now has five different mapping types, selectable with 1-5. The fourth mapping is just silly, but I've included it to show how a mapper can be constructed.

The demo is at http://klep.name/software/processing/depthshader/demo/
Check out the .pde there to see how to make your own mapper, I'm not even sure the ones I came up with are that useful.

The mappings interface makes it very useful indeed.

Thanks!
