OpenGL ES Extension #146
Dependencies
Requires OpenGL ES 2.0.
Written based on the wording of the OpenGL ES 2.0.25 Specification.
Written based on the wording of The OpenGL ES Shading Language
1.00.14 Specification.
Requires NV_texture_array and EXT_shadow_samplers.
Overview
This extension expands the shadow map capability described in
EXT_shadow_samplers to include support for shadow samplers of 2D
array textures.
New Procedures and Functions
None
New Tokens
Returned in <type> by glGetActiveUniform:
GL_SAMPLER_2D_ARRAY_SHADOW_NV 0x8DC4
New GLSL defines
#define GL_NV_shadow_samplers_array 1
New GLSL sampler types
sampler2DArrayShadowNV
New GLSL functions
float shadow2DArrayNV(sampler2DArrayShadowNV sampler, vec4 coord);
Additions to Chapter 2 of the OpenGL ES 2.0.25 Specification (OpenGL ES
Operation)
Modify Section 2.10.4 (Shader Variables)
In the final sentence on p. 36 add "SAMPLER_2D_ARRAY_SHADOW_NV" to
the list of types that can be returned in the <type> parameter of
GetActiveUniform.
Additions to OpenGL ES Shading Language 1.00.14 Specification
Modify Section 4.1, (Basic Types):
Append the following row to the unnamed table in section 4.1
Type Meaning
--------------- ---------------------------------------------------------
sampler2DArrayShadowNV a handle for accessing a 2D array depth texture with comparison
Modify section 4.5.3 (Default Precision Qualifiers):
Add to the list of predeclared globally scoped default precision
statements:
"precision lowp sampler2DArrayShadowNV;"
Modify section 8.7 (Texture Lookup Functions):
Add the following new texture lookup function:
The built-in texture lookup function shadow2DArrayNV is optional,
and must be enabled by
#extension GL_NV_shadow_samplers_array : enable
before being used.
Syntax:
float shadow2DArrayNV(sampler2DArrayShadowNV sampler, vec4 coord)
Description:
Use texture coordinate (coord.s, coord.t) to do a depth comparison
lookup on an array layer of the depth texture bound to sampler, as
described in section 3.7.14.1. The layer to access is indicated by
the third coordinate (coord.p) and is computed by layer = max (0,
min(d - 1, floor (coord.p + 0.5)) where 'd' is the depth of the
texture array. The fourth component of coord (coord.q) is used as
the R value. The texture bound to sampler must be a depth texture,
or results are undefined.
Issues
(1) Should the result of the texture comparison be interpreted as
a LUMINANCE, INTENSITY or ALPHA texel?
RESOLVED: A scalar value is returned from the shadow lookup built-in
function in the fragment shader, so it can be interpreted however
desired.
