Toon shading

[newaged]

This resource changes the shading on most objects, making them look like this http://i.imgur.com/slbN28E.png.

Changes:

shaders\common\lighting\advanced\vectorLightP.hlsl, line 203

   float dotNL = dot(-lightDirection, normal); 

to

   float dotNL = clamp(smoothstep(0.4, 0.43, dot(-lightDirection, normal)), 0.2, 1.0); 

 

shaders\common\lighting\advanced\pointLightP.hlsl, line 163

   float nDotL = dot( lightVec, normal ); 

to

    float nDotL = clamp(smoothstep(0.4, 0.43, dot( lightVec, normal )), 0.2, 1.0); 

 

shaders\common\lighting\advanced\spotLightP.hlsl, line 99

   float nDotL = dot( normal, -lightToPxlVec ); 

to

   float nDotL = clamp(smoothstep(0.4, 0.43, dot( normal, -lightToPxlVec )), 0.2, 1.0); 

 

A more difficult to install version that includes object outlines is currently in progress.

Looking good! Are there options in the editor, or it works only on code?

Can't wait for the outlines!

Here's an old outline shader, incase it helps.

Nice! Thank you!

Going to tweak my light attenutation in 3..2..1..

Anyone get this working in any of the newer T3D builds under DX11? The shader code is a bit different now.

[TorqueFan]

Ah, nevermind. The one-line change is still relevant - I just didn't search well enough for it the last time! :oops:

For the most part, changes in the hlsl shaders you need are (glsl remain the same)

Texture Sampling:

// Old Code
uniform sampler2D textureMap : register(S0);
float4 color = tex2D(textureMap,uv);
//New code
TORQUE_UNIFORM_SAMPLER2D(textureMap,0);
float4 color = TORQUE_TEX2D( textureMap, uv);

 

Pixel Shader targets:

//Old code
COLORn
//New code
TORQUE_TARGETn

 

Semantics (vertex shader output and pixel shader input only. Vertex shader input remains the same as does all other semantic names)

//Old code
POSITION
//New code
TORQUE_POSITION

 

There are a few other things so just ask if you have troubles with any shader conversions.

@Timmy - Nice, thanks. Will be converting a class I based off of ScatterSky soon, and if I run into trouble I'll post about it. The class did pass some new shader values around.

Also just beware when using custom shaders, with DX11 it is very, very fussy that the vertex format matches exactly the same as the shader.

E.G

Bad (AppData in the vertex shader doesn't match vertex format):

 

//C++
GFXVertexBufferHandle<GFXVertexPCT> verts;

// Vertex Shader

struct Appdata
{
float3 position   : POSITION;
float4 color      : COLOR;
};

 

Bad(order is incorrect in the vert shader:

 

//C++
GFXVertexBufferHandle<GFXVertexPCT> verts;

//Vertex Shader

struct Appdata
{
float3 position   : POSITION;
float2 texCoord   : TEXCOORD0;
float4 color      : COLOR;
};

 

Good:

 

//C++
GFXVertexBufferHandle<GFXVertexPCT> verts;

//Vertex Shader

struct Appdata
{
float3 position   : POSITION;
float4 color      : COLOR;
float2 texCoord   : TEXCOORD0;
};
