I'm trying for a few days removing my position texture from my deferred system. To achive this I have to reconstruct pixel position from depth value.
I spend some days now (many houres) tring to solve the problem without luck, so I'm somehow frustated.
Let's see if someone with better math can help me
First how i fill my old position texture (geometry pass). [With this texture the lighting works fine.]
Geometry pass - Vertex:
vsPosition = ( ModelViewMatrix * vec4(in_Position, 1.0) ).xyz;
Geometry pass - Fragment:
fsPosition = vsPosition
Where ModelViewMatrix is ViewMatrix * ModelMatrix.
From here all work, and accessing pixel position in the light pass is trivial.The problem occurs when I try to compute pixel position with depth value.
I tried many things (many...), and what I have at the moment is:
vec2 calcTexCoord()
{
return gl_FragCoord.xy / ScreenSize;
}
vec3 positionFromDepth()
{
vec2 sp = calcTexCoord();
float depth = texture2D(Texture4, sp).x * 2.0 - 1.0;
vec4 pos = InvProjectionMatrix * vec4( sp*2.0-1.0, depth, 1.0);
return pos.xyz/pos.w;
}
Where InvProjectionMatrix is the inverse of the projection matrix, and Texture4 is depth texture.
The strange thing is that if I output the absolute diference from both (using texture and using depth), i see black output (no diferences).
Following code outputs black screen: (Texture0 is position texture)
vec3 pos1 = positionFromDepth();
vec3 pos2 = texture2D(Texture0, calcTexCoord()).xyz;
fragColor = vec4(abs(pos2.x-pos1.x), abs(pos2.y-pos1.y), abs(pos2.z-pos1.z), 1.);
Here is my point light calculation: (With pixel position from depth doesn't work)
uniform struct
{
vec3 diffuse;
vec3 specular;
vec3 ambient;
float constantAtt;
float linearAtt;
float quadraticAtt;
float spotInnerCutOff;
float spotOuterCutOff;
float spotFallOff;
vec3 position; // For Point light. Computed as ViewMatrix * light_position
vec3 direction; // For Spot and Directional lights
int type; // 0-> Point, 1-> Spot, 2-> Directional
}
Light;
...
vec3 computePhongPointLight()
{
vec3 color = vec3(0.0);
vec2 texCoord = calcTexCoord();
//vec3 position = texture2D( Texture0, texCoord ).xyz;
vec3 position = positionFromDepth();
vec3 difColor = texture2D( Texture1, texCoord ).xyz;
vec3 specColor = texture2D( Texture2, texCoord ).xyz;
vec3 normColor = texture2D( Texture3, texCoord ).xyz;
vec3 lightDir = Light.position.xyz - position;
vec3 lightDirNorm = normalize( lightDir );
float sDotN = max( dot(lightDirNorm, normColor), 0.0);
float att = 1.0;
float distSqr = dot(lightDir, lightDir);
float invAtt = (Light.constantAtt +
(Light.linearAtt*sqrt(distSqr)) +
(Light.quadraticAtt*distSqr));
att = 0.0;
if (invAtt != 0.0)
att = 1.0/invAtt;
vec3 diffuse = difColor.rgb * Light.diffuse * sDotN;
vec3 ambient = difColor.rgb * Light.ambient; // Cheat here
vec3 vertexToEye = -normalize(position);
vec3 r = normalize(reflect(lightDirNorm, normColor));
// SpecularPower
vec3 specular = vec3(0.0);
if ( sDotN > 0.0 )
{
specular = Light.specular.rgb *
specColor *
pow( max( dot(vertexToEye, r), 0.0), 60.0 ); // Change specular here!!!! value 60 must be an uniform
}
return (diffuse + specular + ambient)*att;
}
I will apraciate any help, so feel free to answer
Sorry for my bad English and thanks in advance.
