=====
|
|
|
|
Starting with 3.0, **Osd** tessellation shaders can be used as a set of functions from
|
|
client shader code. In order to tessellate **Osd** patches, client shader
|
|
code should perform the following steps (regular B-spline patch case):
|
|
|
|
* In a tessellation control shader
|
|
1. fetch a PatchParam for the current patch
|
|
2. call OsdComputePerPatchVertexBSpline() to compute OsdPerPatchVertexBezier.
|
|
3. compute tessellation level. To prevent cracks on transition patches,
|
|
two vec4 parameters (tessOuterHi, tessOuterLo) will be needed in addition to built-in gl_TessLevelInner/Outers.
|
|
|
|
* In a tessellation evaluation shader
|
|
1. call OsdGetTessParameterization() to remap gl_TessCoord to a patch parameter at which to evaluate.
|
|
2. call OsdEvalPatchBezier()/OsdEvalPatchGregory() to evaluate the current patch.
|
|
|
|
The following is a minimal example of GLSL code explaining how client shader code
|
|
uses OpenSubdiv shader functions to tessellate patches of a patch table.

Basis Conversion
|
|
================
|
|
|
|
B-spline Patch
|
|
**************
|
|
|
|
The following diagram shows how the **Osd** shaders process b-spline patches.
|
|
|
|
.. image:: images/osd_shader_bspline.png
|
|
|
|
While regular patches are expressed as b-spline patches in Far::PatchTable,
|
|
the **Osd** shader converts them into Bezier basis patches for simplicity and efficiency.
|
|
This conversion is performed in the tessellation control stage. The boundary edge evaluation
|
|
and single crease matrix evaluation are also resolved during this conversion.
|
|
OsdComputePerPatchVertexBSpline() can be used for this process.
|
|
The resulting Bezier control vertices are stored in OsdPerPatchVertexBezier struct.
|
|
|
|
.. code:: glsl
|
|
|
|
void OsdComputePerPatchVertexBSpline(
|
|
ivec3 patchParam, int ID, vec3 cv[16], out OsdPerPatchVertexBezier result);
|
|
|
|
The tessellation evaluation shader takes an array of OsdPerPatchVertexBezier struct,
|
|
and then evaluates the patch using the OsdEvalPatchBezier() function.
|
|
|
|
.. code:: glsl
|
|
|
|
void OsdEvalPatchBezier(ivec3 patchParam, vec2 UV,
|
|
OsdPerPatchVertexBezier cv[16],
|
|
out vec3 P, out vec3 dPu, out vec3 dPv,
|
|
out vec3 N, out vec3 dNu, out vec3 dNv)
|
|
|
|
|
|
Gregory Basis Patch
|
|
*******************
|
|
|
|
In a similar way, Gregory basis patches are processed as follows:
|
|
|
|
.. image:: images/osd_shader_gregory.png
|
|
|
|
OsdComputePerPatchVertexGregoryBasis() can be used for the Gregory patches
|
|
(although no basis conversion involved for the Gregory patches) and the resulting vertices
|
|
are stored in a OsdPerPatchVertexGreogryBasis struct.
|
|
|
|
.. code:: glsl
|
|
|
|
void
|
|
OsdComputePerPatchVertexGregoryBasis(
|
|
ivec3 patchParam, int ID, vec3 cv, out OsdPerPatchVertexGregoryBasis result)
|
|
|
|
The tessellation evaluation shader takes an array of OsdPerPatchVertexGregoryBasis struct,
|
|
and then evaluates the patch using the OsdEvalPatchGregory() function.
|
|
|
|
.. code:: glsl
|
|
|
|
void
|
|
OsdEvalPatchGregory(ivec3 patchParam, vec2 UV, vec3 cv[20],
|
|
out vec3 P, out vec3 dPu, out vec3 dPv,
|
|
out vec3 N, out vec3 dNu, out vec3 dNv)
|
|
|
|
|
|
Box-spline Triangle Patch
|
|
*************************
|
|
|
|
While regular triangle patches are expressed as triangular box-spline patches in Far::PatchTable,
|
|
the **Osd** shader converts them into triangular Bezier patches for consistency.
|
|
This conversion is performed in the tessellation control stage. The boundary edge evaluation is resolved during this conversion.
|
|
OsdComputePerPatchVertexBoxSplineTriangle() can be used for this process.
|
|
The resulting Bezier control vertices are stored in OsdPerPatchVertexBezier struct.
|
|
|
|
.. code:: glsl
|
|
|
|
void
|
|
OsdComputePerPatchVertexBoxSplineTriangle(
|
|
ivec3 patchParam, int ID, vec3 cv[12], out OsdPerPatchVertexBezier result);
|
|
|
|
The tessellation evaluation shader takes an array of OsdPerPatchVertexBezier struct,
|
|
and then evaluates the patch using the OsdEvalPatchBezierTriangle() function.
|
|
|
|
.. code:: glsl
|
|
|
|
void OsdEvalPatchBezierTriangle(ivec3 patchParam, vec2 UV,
|
|
OsdPerPatchVertexBezier cv[15],
|
|
out vec3 P, out vec3 dPu, out vec3 dPv,
|
|
out vec3 N, out vec3 dNu, out vec3 dNv)
|
|
|
|
|
|
Gregory Triangle Patch
|
|
**********************
|
|
|
|
OsdComputePerPatchVertexGregoryBasis() can be used for the quartic triangular Gregory patches (although no basis conversion involved for the Gregory triangle patches) and the resulting vertices are stored in a OsdPerPatchVertexGreogryBasis struct.
|
|
|
|
.. code:: glsl
|
|
|
|
void
|
|
OsdComputePerPatchVertexGregoryBasis(
|
|
ivec3 patchParam, int ID, vec3 cv, out OsdPerPatchVertexGregoryBasis result)
|
|
|
|
The tessellation evaluation shader takes an array of OsdPerPatchVertexGregoryBasis struct,
|
|
and then evaluates the patch using the OsdEvalPatchGregoryTriangle() function.
|
|
|
|
.. code:: glsl
|
|
|
|
void
|
|
OsdEvalPatchGregoryTriangle(ivec3 patchParam, vec2 UV, vec3 cv[18],
|
|
out vec3 P, out vec3 dPu, out vec3 dPv,
|
|
out vec3 N, out vec3 dNu, out vec3 dNv)
|
|
|
|
|
|
Legacy Gregory Patch (2.x compatibility)
|
|
****************************************
|
|
|
|
OpenSubdiv 3.0 also supports 2.x style Gregory patch evaluation (see far_overview).
|
|
In order to evaluate a legacy Gregory patch, client needs to bind extra buffers and
|
|
to perform extra steps in the vertex shader as shown in the following diagram:
|
|
|
|
.. image:: images/osd_shader_legacy_gregory.png
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Tessellation levels
|
|
===================
|
|
|
|
**Osd** provides both uniform and screen-space adaptive tessellation level computation.
|
|
|
|
Because of the nature of `feature adaptive subdivision <far_overview.html>`__,
|
|
we need to pay extra attention for a patch's outer tessellation level for the screen-space
|
|
adaptive case so that cracks don't appear.
|
|
|
|
An edge of the patch marked as a transition edge is split into two segments (Hi and Lo).
|
|
|
|
.. image:: images/osd_shader_patch.png
|
|
|
|
The **Osd** shaders uses these two segments to ensure the same tessellation along the
|
|
edge between different levels of subdivision. In the following example, suppose the left hand side
|
|
patch has determined the tessellation level of its right edge to be 5. gl_TessLevelOuter is set to
|
|
5 for the edge, and at the same time we also pass 2 and 3 to the tessellation evaluation shader
|
|
as separate levels for the two segments of the edge split at the middle.
|
|
|
|
.. image:: images/osd_shader_transition.png
|
|
|
|
Tessellation levels at each tessellated vertex
|
|
**********************************************
|
|
|
|
The tessellation evaluation shader takes gl_TessCoord and those two values, and remaps
|
|
gl_TessCoord using OsdGetTessParameterization() or OsdGetTessLevelParameterizationTriangle() to ensure the parameters are consistent
|
|
across adjacent patches.
|
|
|
|
.. code:: glsl
|
|
|
|
vec2 OsdGetTessParameterization(vec2 uv, vec4 tessOuterLo, vec4 tessOuterHi);
|
|
|
|
.. code:: glsl
|
|
|
|
vec2 OsdGetTessParameterizationTriangle(vec3 uvw, vec4 tessOuterLo, vec4 tessOuterHi);
|
|
|
|
.. image:: images/osd_shader_param_remap.png
|
|
|
|
Tessellation levels computed at each patch
|
|
******************************************
|
|
|
|
These tessellation levels can be computed the corresponding method in the tesselation control shader. Note that these functions potentially requires all bezier control
|
|
points, you need to call barrier() to ensure the conversion is done for all invocations.
|
|
See osd/glslPatchBSpline.glsl for more details.
