Diffuse light with OpenGL GLSL












1














Currently, my OpenGL scene does not make use of any lights, it uses only wireframes which have a fixed colour - which works fine for me.



Now I want to add a second mode, where the wireframes are shown as (semi)solid models. For this, I need some lighting. Lighting should be quite easy, just some global directional light with fixed colour and direction.



So two questions: as far as I understand, I can do this within my fragment shader completely - is this correct?



And: My current fragment shader is quite simple:



#version 130
uniform vec4 inputColor;
out vec4 FragColor;
void main()
{
FragColor=inputColor;
}


What has to be added here to let my geometry be lit by a global directional light (but not by some additional point light sources)?

  • An ambient light does not have any direction. Ambient means that every pixel in the scene gets the same amount of light from the lightsource. What you are looking for is a diffuse directional light.

    @Elmi At least you need the normal vector of the fragment.

To calculate a diffuse light or even specular hight lights, you have to know the normal vector of the surface respectively fragment. The diffuse light radiance depends on the the direction of the incident light - see How does this faking the light work on aerotwist?. Specular highlights additionally depend on the direct of view.



If you do not have normal vectors, then the surface normal vector can be calculated approximately by the partial derivative of the view space position in the fragment shader. The partial derivative can be get by the functions dFdx and dFdy.



With this normal vector you can calculate a diffuse light with very low quality. The surfaces appears to be flat and the light seems to be calculated by face normal vectors rather than smooth vertex normal vectors. But it is possible to implement a basic light model and can be improved, by using "real" normal vectors later.



See the example. In this case the light source is assumed to be at the point of view, because the view space direction to the light (L) is vec3(0.0, 0.0, 1.0):



Vertex shader



out vec4 v_clip_pos;

main()
{
.....

gl_Positon = .....;
v_clip_pos = gl_Positon;
}


Fragment shader



#version 130

in vec4 v_clip_pos; // same as gl_Position

out vec4 FragColor;
uniform vec4 inputColor;

void main()
{
vec3 ndc_pos = v_clip_pos.xyz / v_clip_pos.w;
vec3 dx = dFdx( ndc_pos );
vec3 dy = dFdy( ndc_pos );

vec3 N = normalize(cross(dx, dy));
N *= sign(N.z);
vec3 L = vec3(0.0, 0.0, 1.0); // direction to the light source
float NdotL = dot(N, L);

vec3 diffuse_color = inputColor.rgb * NdotL;
FragColor = vec4(diffuse_color.rgb, 1.0);
}


See the example which demonstrates the light model. Of course the example is implemented in WebGL and not OpenGL, but the fragment shader is very similar:

  • @Elmi sorry inputColor is pf type vec4, so it has to be vec3 diffuse_color = inputColor.rgb * NdotL;

To calculate a diffuse light or even specular hight lights, you have to know the normal vector of the surface respectively fragment. The diffuse light radiance depends on the the direction of the incident light - see How does this faking the light work on aerotwist?. Specular highlights additionally depend on the direct of view.



If you do not have normal vectors, then the surface normal vector can be calculated approximately by the partial derivative of the view space position in the fragment shader. The partial derivative can be get by the functions dFdx and dFdy.



With this normal vector you can calculate a diffuse light with very low quality. The surfaces appears to be flat and the light seems to be calculated by face normal vectors rather than smooth vertex normal vectors. But it is possible to implement a basic light model and can be improved, by using "real" normal vectors later.



See the example. In this case the light source is assumed to be at the point of view, because the view space direction to the light (L) is vec3(0.0, 0.0, 1.0):



Vertex shader



out vec4 v_clip_pos;

main()
{
.....

gl_Positon = .....;
v_clip_pos = gl_Positon;
}


Fragment shader



#version 130

in vec4 v_clip_pos; // same as gl_Position

out vec4 FragColor;
uniform vec4 inputColor;

void main()
{
vec3 ndc_pos = v_clip_pos.xyz / v_clip_pos.w;
vec3 dx = dFdx( ndc_pos );
vec3 dy = dFdy( ndc_pos );

vec3 N = normalize(cross(dx, dy));
N *= sign(N.z);
vec3 L = vec3(0.0, 0.0, 1.0); // direction to the light source
float NdotL = dot(N, L);

vec3 diffuse_color = inputColor.rgb * NdotL;
FragColor = vec4(diffuse_color.rgb, 1.0);
}


See the example which demonstrates the light model. Of course the example is implemented in WebGL and not OpenGL, but the fragment shader is very similar:

  • looks good but compiling the fragment shader code fails with a "ERROR: 0:4: '=' : cannot convert from '4-component vector of highp float' to '3-component vector of highp float'" here...

  • @Elmi sorry inputColor is pf type vec4, so it has to be vec3 diffuse_color = inputColor.rgb * NdotL;

To calculate a diffuse light or even specular hight lights, you have to know the normal vector of the surface respectively fragment. The diffuse light radiance depends on the the direction of the incident light - see How does this faking the light work on aerotwist?. Specular highlights additionally depend on the direct of view.



If you do not have normal vectors, then the surface normal vector can be calculated approximately by the partial derivative of the view space position in the fragment shader. The partial derivative can be get by the functions dFdx and dFdy.



With this normal vector you can calculate a diffuse light with very low quality. The surfaces appears to be flat and the light seems to be calculated by face normal vectors rather than smooth vertex normal vectors. But it is possible to implement a basic light model and can be improved, by using "real" normal vectors later.



See the example. In this case the light source is assumed to be at the point of view, because the view space direction to the light (L) is vec3(0.0, 0.0, 1.0):



Vertex shader



out vec4 v_clip_pos;

main()
{
.....

gl_Positon = .....;
v_clip_pos = gl_Positon;
}


Fragment shader



#version 130

in vec4 v_clip_pos; // same as gl_Position

out vec4 FragColor;
uniform vec4 inputColor;

void main()
{
vec3 ndc_pos = v_clip_pos.xyz / v_clip_pos.w;
vec3 dx = dFdx( ndc_pos );
vec3 dy = dFdy( ndc_pos );

vec3 N = normalize(cross(dx, dy));
N *= sign(N.z);
vec3 L = vec3(0.0, 0.0, 1.0); // direction to the light source
float NdotL = dot(N, L);

vec3 diffuse_color = inputColor.rgb * NdotL;
FragColor = vec4(diffuse_color.rgb, 1.0);
}


See the example which demonstrates the light model. Of course the example is implemented in WebGL and not OpenGL, but the fragment shader is very similar:

To calculate a diffuse light or even specular hight lights, you have to know the normal vector of the surface respectively fragment. The diffuse light radiance depends on the the direction of the incident light - see How does this faking the light work on aerotwist?. Specular highlights additionally depend on the direct of view.



If you do not have normal vectors, then the surface normal vector can be calculated approximately by the partial derivative of the view space position in the fragment shader. The partial derivative can be get by the functions dFdx and dFdy.



With this normal vector you can calculate a diffuse light with very low quality. The surfaces appears to be flat and the light seems to be calculated by face normal vectors rather than smooth vertex normal vectors. But it is possible to implement a basic light model and can be improved, by using "real" normal vectors later.



See the example. In this case the light source is assumed to be at the point of view, because the view space direction to the light (L) is vec3(0.0, 0.0, 1.0):



Vertex shader



out vec4 v_clip_pos;

main()
{
.....

gl_Positon = .....;
v_clip_pos = gl_Positon;
}


Fragment shader



#version 130

in vec4 v_clip_pos; // same as gl_Position

out vec4 FragColor;
uniform vec4 inputColor;

void main()
{
vec3 ndc_pos = v_clip_pos.xyz / v_clip_pos.w;
vec3 dx = dFdx( ndc_pos );
vec3 dy = dFdy( ndc_pos );

vec3 N = normalize(cross(dx, dy));
N *= sign(N.z);
vec3 L = vec3(0.0, 0.0, 1.0); // direction to the light source
float NdotL = dot(N, L);

vec3 diffuse_color = inputColor.rgb * NdotL;
FragColor = vec4(diffuse_color.rgb, 1.0);
}


See the example which demonstrates the light model. Of course the example is implemented in WebGL and not OpenGL, but the fragment shader is very similar:

  • looks good but compiling the fragment shader code fails with a "ERROR: 0:4: '=' : cannot convert from '4-component vector of highp float' to '3-component vector of highp float'" here...

  • @Elmi sorry inputColor is pf type vec4, so it has to be vec3 diffuse_color = inputColor.rgb * NdotL;
