Share a Shader!

[Ratchet]

I need a simple Threshold Shader and found this one:

https://www.shadertoy.com/view/4ssGR8

Would someone so kind and make it run in LOVE 0.10.2 please? I never understand this shader language stuff. Many thanks

[ghurk]

quick remake for love2d v.0.10.2:

Code: Select all

shaderCustom = love.graphics.newShader [[

extern float soft = 0.3;
extern float threshold = 0.3;

vec4 effect( vec4 color, Image texture, vec2 texture_coords, vec2 screen_coords )
{
	float f = soft/2.0;
	float a = threshold - f;
	float b = threshold + f;

	vec4 tx = Texel( texture, texture_coords );
	float l = (tx.x + tx.y + tx.z) / 3.0;
	vec3 col = vec3( smoothstep(a, b, l) );
	
	return vec4( col, 1 )*color;
}
]]

in draw event:

Code: Select all

threshold = 0.3
soft = 0.3

function love.draw( dt )

	--both preset at 0.3 in shader, but values can be changed using these 2 lines below. extreme value changes will result in ugly results.
	shaderCustom.send( shaderCustom, "soft", soft )
	shaderCustom.send( shaderCustom, "threshold", threshold )

	love.graphics.setShader( shaderCustom )
		love.graphics.draw( mm, 50, 50, 0, 2.5, 2.5 )
	love.graphics.setShader()
end

draws white color on black background. threshold controls size of the white parts, soft is blur amount.

and here is version for white on transparent background:

Code: Select all

--white on transparent bkg
shaderCustom = love.graphics.newShader [[

extern float soft = 0.3;
extern float threshold = 0.3;

vec4 effect( vec4 color, Image texture, vec2 texture_coords, vec2 screen_coords )
{
	float f = soft/2.0;
	float a = threshold - f;
	float b = threshold + f;

	vec4 tx = Texel( texture, texture_coords );
	float l = (tx.x + tx.y + tx.z) / 3.0;
	
	return vec4( smoothstep(a, b, l) )*color;
}
]]

in both cases, if you get problems with whole drawable being white (partially transparent), set "soft" to 0.0.
occurs with extreme changes to threshold.

forgot the *color. white on transparent background can be recolored using love.graphics.setColor(255,255,255,255) so dont request any specific color variants please :p

EDIT2: furthermore i am even unsure about this whole shader as it seems to even work if you remove some of the setShader things... alas, shaders forever in mystery, it's like few people seem to understand them!

EDIT: this was for the smoke shader from the link at the bottom of the guide http://blogs.love2d.org/content/beginners-guide-shaders i dunno how this forum is organised! but the shader did not work with the latest love version (like seemingly 99% of examples i download)

Hi

I had to refactor this to work on the latest version:

Code: Select all

local Shader;
local firstCanvas;
local secondCanvas;
local currentCanvas
local otherCanvas
local lastPoint = {x=0,y=0}

function love.load()
	-- love._openConsole()
	
	Shader = love.graphics.newShader[[

vec4 effect(vec4 color, Image texture, vec2 texture_coords, vec2 pixel_coords)
		{

		number pW = 1/love_ScreenSize.x;//pixel width 
		number pH = 1/love_ScreenSize.y;//pixel height

		vec4 pixel = Texel(texture, texture_coords );//This is the current pixel 

		vec2 coords = vec2(texture_coords.x-pW,texture_coords.y);
		vec4 Lpixel = Texel(texture, coords );//Pixel on the left

		coords = vec2(texture_coords.x+pW,texture_coords.y);
		vec4 Rpixel = Texel(texture, coords );//Pixel on the right

		coords = vec2(texture_coords.x,texture_coords.y-pH);
		vec4 Upixel = Texel(texture, coords );//Pixel on the up

		coords = vec2(texture_coords.x,texture_coords.y+pH);
		vec4 Dpixel = Texel(texture, coords );//Pixel on the down

		pixel.a += 10 * 0.0166667 * (Lpixel.a + Rpixel.a + Dpixel.a * 3 + Upixel.a - 6 * pixel.a);

		pixel.rgb = vec3(1.0,1.0,1.0);


		return pixel;

		}
		]]

	firstCanvas = love.graphics.newCanvas()
	secondCanvas = love.graphics.newCanvas()

	currentCanvas = firstCanvas
	otherCanvas = secondCanvas

	lastPoint.x = love.mouse.getX()
	lastPoint.y = love.mouse.getY()
end

local fps = 0;
local mouseParticles = {};


function love.draw()
	love.graphics.setColor(0,0,0,255)
	love.graphics.rectangle("fill",0,0,100,50)
	love.graphics.setColor(255,255,255,255)
	love.graphics.print("FPS: " .. fps,10,10)

	if(#mouseParticles > 0)then 
		love.graphics.setCanvas(firstCanvas)
		love.graphics.setColor(255,255,255,255)
		for i=1,#mouseParticles do 
			local p = mouseParticles[i];
			love.graphics.circle("fill",p.x,p.y,10);
		end
		love.graphics.setCanvas()
		mouseParticles = {}
		love.graphics.setColor(255,255,255,255)
	end


	love.graphics.setCanvas(otherCanvas)
	love.graphics.setShader(Shader);
	love.graphics.draw(currentCanvas)
	love.graphics.setShader();
	love.graphics.setCanvas()

	
	-- currentCanvas:clear()
	refactor_canvas = love.graphics.getCanvas()
	love.graphics.setCanvas(currentCanvas)
	love.graphics.clear()
	love.graphics.setCanvas(refactor_canvas)



	love.graphics.setCanvas(currentCanvas)
	love.graphics.setShader(Shader);
	love.graphics.draw(otherCanvas)
	love.graphics.setShader();
	love.graphics.setCanvas()

	love.graphics.draw(currentCanvas)

	-- otherCanvas:clear() --HAD TO REFACTOR THIS, dunno if it's convoluted
	refactor_canvas = love.graphics.getCanvas()
	love.graphics.setCanvas(otherCanvas)
	love.graphics.clear()
	love.graphics.setCanvas(refactor_canvas)



	
end

local c2 = 0;
local sum = 0;

local lastModified = love.filesystem.getLastModified("main.lua")


function love.update(dt)
	------------To make the code update in real time
	if(love.filesystem.getLastModified("main.lua") ~= lastModified)then 
		local testFunc = function()
			love.filesystem.load('main.lua')
		end
		local test,e = pcall(testFunc)
		if(test)then 
		 	love.filesystem.load('main.lua')()
		 	love.run()
		else 
			print(e)
		end
		lastModified = love.filesystem.getLastModified("main.lua")
	end

	-----------Get average FPS
	c2 = c2 + 1;
	sum = sum + dt;
	if(sum > 1)then 
		sum = sum / c2;
		fps = math.floor(1/sum);
		c2 = 0;
		sum = 0;
	end

	-----Add smoke
	if(love.mouse.isDown(1))then 
		local x,y = love.mouse.getPosition()
		local p = {};
		p.x = x; p.y = y;
		mouseParticles[#mouseParticles+1] = p;

		local dx = p.x - lastPoint.x;
		local dy = p.y - lastPoint.y;
		local dist = math.sqrt(dx * dx + dy * dy);

		---if there is a gap, fill it
		if(dist > 5)then 
			local angle = math.atan2(dy,dx);
			local cosine = math.cos(angle);
			local sine = math.sin(angle)
			for i=1,dist,1 do 
				local p2 = {};
				p2.x = lastPoint.x + i * cosine;
				p2.y = lastPoint.y + i * sine;
				mouseParticles[#mouseParticles+1] = p2;
			end
		end

		lastPoint.x = x; lastPoint.y = y;
	else
		--if mouse is up
		local x,y = love.mouse.getPosition()
		lastPoint.x = x; lastPoint.y = y;
	end
end

The main weird bit was i had to replace:

currentCanvas:clear() and otherCanvas:clear()

with a thing that went

Code: Select all

	refactor_canvas = love.graphics.getCanvas()
	love.graphics.setCanvas(currentCanvas)
	love.graphics.clear()
	love.graphics.setCanvas(refactor_canvas)

So it's like you used to be able to clear any canvas, now just the current one... anyway it works

this shader retains information from the previous screens, which i need (no-one can seem to answer my support thread)

[alberto_lara]

I modified it to work full screen and you're right; it's generally too blurry and dark. It can be sharpened up but at the cost of losing the shadow mask effect, which is mainly what I'm after in a CRT shader.

How do I remove the split? I'm still seeing 3 bars

Doesn't seem to be too much interest in this topic.
I'm still amazed at what people can do with them.

Got this error for that; running 11.1:

Code: Select all

Error: Cannot link shader program object:

The Head one is awesome though, although it runs with 15 fps here

Edit: Thanks for the new version!

Ops! Old version now updated to 11.1
Best

Should Tri be this?

Nope, more like this:
