Assignment #3 • Which is something you may wish to do since it is Assignment #3 So You Want to Write some Procedural Shaders • In fact… Assignment #3 Assignments • Goal is to be able to produce something nicer than • Some advice: this: – Choose either #1 (Ray tracing) or #2 (radioisity) – #3 will be real time shading… • Challenge will be getting environment set up – #4 – Tone Reproduction • Modification of #1 or #2 • In fact – If you choose to do assignments 1 & 2, you need not do any other. • so…pleasant dreams!

Building a brick shader Building a brick shader // wrap texture coords to see where on given brick surface brick ( // you are uniform Color Cbrick = color (0.5, 0.15, 0.1); s = s % width; uniform Color Cmortar = color (0.5, 0.5, 0.5) t = t % height; ) { // Set the color based on where you are Color Ct = Cbrick; // What row is the point in question on if (s < MORTARTHICKNESS || t < MORTARTTHICKNESS) float row = t / BMHEIGHT; Ct = Cmortar // If even, offset length by a half // Return correct color if ( row % 2 == 0) s += (BMWIDTH/2); Cs = Ct; } Building a better brick shader Building a better brick shader // Set the color based on where you are • Let’s use noise to discolor individual bricks // Let the brick color change based on noise float noiseChange = 0.1; float row = s / BMWIDTH; Color Ct = Cbrick + (noise (row,col) * noiseChange); if (s < MORTARTHICKNESS || t < MORTARTTHICKNESS) Ct = Cmortar // Return correct color Cs = Ct; } Questions? Building an even better brick shader • Other possible additions – Bump mapping to have normal dip in mortar and rise on side of brick – Add noise to individual points on each brick – Add graininess – See brick shader for your given system
