Updating GLSL support with new JOGL

[what_nick]

Hi all,

I would like to do some in WW texture operations and shader support would be nice. So as I implemented some processing of WMS tiles, I sample code build against the latest nightly SVN is attached.

I hiccup I am having is in passing a uniform to the shader to control layer brightness. I have tested the shader in Rendermonkey and it works fine.

I have tried debugging for a while to no avail so another check will be really appreciated. I also noticed that the latest incarnation of Jogl adds shader support utility classes, is it possible to update the Jogl used by worldwind ?

Cheers,

Sorry for reviving an old thread but you were able to work this out? I need to implement this feature but so far the shader is not affecting at all the layer.

I got it to work right now but I have to hardcode the value inside the shader for brightness.

uniform sampler2D tile_image;
uniform sampler2D alpha_mask;
uniform float brightness;

void main (void)

{
vec4 tile_val = texture2D(tile_image, gl_TexCoord[0].st);
vec4 alpha_val = texture2D(alpha_mask, gl_TexCoord[1].st);

brightness = -.38;

gl_FragColor = vec4 (tile_val.rgba + brightness );
}

For some reason adjusting the value of brightness through WWJ using

gl.glUniform1f(glsl.getUniformLocation(" brightness"), brightness); //use brightness

is not working.

Any ideas as to what is happening here?

Nevermind got it to work.

Before passing the values to the uniforms you first need to start the shader.

gl.glUseProgram(programObject);

then you can safely pass the values:

gl.glUniform1i(uniform1,0);

Now I got the brightness feature working.

Could anyone shed some light on this please, sorry if its obvious answer
When i try to use What_nicks code on "Blue Marble (WMS) 2004" or "Bathymetry Low Resolution" or any of the contours that are WMSTiledImageLayer's
i get a runtime error
I am getting the layer with

getLayerByName("Blue Marble (WMS) 2004");

and so on for each layer type, inside the updateBrightness function i check it is the right kind of tile

if(layer instanceof WMSTiledImageLayer)
{
    WMSTiledImageLayer tile = (WMSTiledImageLayer)layer;
    ((WMSShadedImageLayer)tile).setBrightness(brightness);
}

The runtime error is

Exception in thread "AWT-EventQueue-0" java.lang.ClassCastException: gov.nasa.worldwind.wms.WMSTiledImageLayer cannot be cast to dsto.layers.WMSShadedImageLayer

on the

((WMSShadedImageLayer)tile).setBrightness(brightness);

line
My WMSShadedImageLayer class is copied from Nicks one no changes
Ive tried checking all layers and reloading them if they are one of the specific ones i want to brighten as a WMSShadedImageLayer but i get a error in levelset when i try passing in the values from the original tiledImageLayer with that method

Exception in thread "AWT-EventQueue-0" java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Invalid level descriptor fields: tile delta sector number of levels 
        at gov.nasa.worldwind.util.LevelSet.<init>(LevelSet.java:106)

I was attempting to just pass in the layer as an argument to the WMSShadedImageLayer constructor im not sure how to extract the layers values and use them to create a new layer since the get and set Values and various other functions seem to accept different types of values from what the return

WMSShadedImageLayer newlayer = new WMSShadedImageLayer((WMSTiledImageLayer)l);

I would love to have shaders working correctly mostly to tweak color values for projector viewing as the sea is to dark at present

Thanks for any help

You cannot cast a WMSTiledImageLayer to a WMSShadedImageLayer just like that because all methods inside the WMSShadedImageLayer are not defined in the WMSTiledImageLayer. You need to first create the layer as a WMSShadedImageLayer and then you can cast it when you retrieve it. One way to do this is to retrieve the layer data from the server and create your the layer and add it to the model.

Hope that helps.

Hi Guys,

I have been away from forums for a while working on my PhD. Glad to see somebody using the shader code. A lot of everyday image enhancement can be done in shaders making imagery viewing and manipulation faster.

Could you post the brightness shader etc. We can start compiling all the worldwind shader based code in one place and building up a custom self-describing layer which can be attached to a pixel shader file, the glsl studios from ATI and NVIDIA have description tags of tunable parameters.

Something to think about.

Cheers,

what_nick.

That has solved another of my problems! Casting was the answer. Thanks.
