Lua code which hardcodes a glsl raytracer demo

Post by AxisAngles »

Okay. So I thought, "wouldn't it be fun if I wrote a Lua program to program a hardcoded binary search tree in GLSL?" So I did it, and then before I implemented stuff other than the sphere solver, I realized that you only have a small number of words for gpu instructions to be stored. So you can't actually go over like 200 spheres in my raycaster...

ANYWAY, here's the code.

Code: Select all

--How to create the raycast GLSL code
--	call generateglslcaster(data)
--	returns a string of glsl code
--	the code contains a function called raycast

--How to call the raycast function
--bool raycast(in vec3 o,in vec3 d,out vec3 pos,out vec3 norm,out vec4 color)
--	Returns whether the ray hit anything
--	o is the origin of the ray
--	d is the direction of the ray
--	pos is where the ray hits the object
--	norm is the normal of where the ray hits the object
--	color is the color of the object the ray hit




--Groups nearest spheres together
--This make a log-time ray search
--Way better than octrees... if you don't need to move anything.
local function partition(spheres)
	if #spheres==1 then
		return spheres[1]
	else
		local newspheres={}

Just seeing 3D graphics in LÖVE is awesome enough, but a raytracer? Super cool! :o lol

So you wrote a lua program which writes the GLSL code? did I get it right? Anyway this look awesome.

EDIT: I just read it and I see you indeed are generating glsl code, cool :)

Yes, that's exactly what I did!
