access a texture in a vertex PROCESSING_LINE_SHADER

fdiba

Hello, do you know how I can acces a black and white texture in a vertex shader design to draw lines and edit the z position of each vertices based on the color of each pixel ?

If in my sketch I put sh.texture(image); what is the name of the variable I can use in the vertex shader ?

uniform sampler2D texture; doesn't seems to work.

import java.util.Date;
import peasy.*;

PeasyCam cam;

ArrayList<PVector> grid;
PShape shapeGrid;
boolean shapeMode;
PShader pshader;

PImage image;

int TWIDTH = 640;
int THEIGHT = 480;

void setup() {

  size(640, 480, OPENGL);

  cam = new PeasyCam(this, 1000);
  cam.setMinimumDistance(50);
  cam.setMaximumDistance(1500);

  image = loadImage("depth.jpg");

  pshader = loadShader("frag.glsl", "vert.glsl");

  shapeGrid = createGrid(10);
  shapeGrid.setStrokeWeight(1);
}

PShape createGrid(int detail) {

  PShape sh = createShape();

  sh.beginShape(LINES);
  sh.stroke(255, 0, 0);
  sh.textureMode(NORMAL);
  sh.texture(image);

  for (int y=0; y<height-detail; y+=detail) {

    for (int x=0; x<width-detail; x+=detail) {

      PVector tl, tr;

      tl = new PVector(x, y);
      tr = new PVector(x+detail, y);

      sh.vertex(tl.x, tl.y, tl.z, tl.x/TWIDTH, tl.y/THEIGHT);
      sh.vertex(tr.x, tr.y, tr.z, tr.x/TWIDTH, tr.y/THEIGHT);
    }
  }

  sh.endShape(CLOSE);
  return sh;
}
void keyPressed() {

  if (key=='0') {

    Date date = new Date();
    String name = "data/images/shapes-"+date.getTime()+".png";
    save(name);
  }
}
void draw() {

  background(127);

  shapeMode(CENTER);

  shader(pshader, LINES);

  shape(shapeGrid); 

}

Hello,

I have done exactly what I graphically wanted to do with multiple quads and a vertex shader of type: PROCESSING_TEXTURE_SHADER (see below).

But to have more control over my PShape I'm trying to reproduce it using only lines. Any ideas ?

The result:

The texture I'm currently using:

Ok I have found a solution: I have used the set method pshader.set("tex1", image); and set the UVs in the vertex shader with texture2D() (without using directly vertTexCoord.st).
