Delaunay color buffer dx11

vvvv beta question
1

Hello,

I have been unsuccessfully trying to modify the DX11 vuxs delaunay vertex colour shader to allow me to add a colour buffer rather than sample a texture.

Could any shader ninja’s lend a hand?

I’ve uploaded what I’ve cobbled together so far

Thanks!

float4 c = color; should be float4 c = input0.col

then you should do

output.pos = mul(t1,tWVP);	
output.col = c;
gsout.Append(output);

for each vertex

Hi antokhio,

I’ve implimented those changes but the shader is still returning 'invalid subscript ‘col’ at line 47

Any thoughts?

Thanks

Yea, missed it, so you have incorrect assignments:

vsin VS(vsin input)

this means that instead of using “struct vs2ps” you are using “vsin”
this should be changed to:

**vs2ps** VS(vsin input)
{
	vs2ps output = (vs2ps)0;
...
}

then you have the same in GS

void GS( triangle **vsin** input[3](3), inout TriangleStream<gs2ps> gsout )

should be

void GS( triangle **vs2ps** input[3](3), inout TriangleStream<gs2ps> gsout )

then in the from line remove line 72

float4 c = input[0](0).col**;**
	//Since we assign once, triangle will have a single color
	**//**output.col = c;

P.S doesn’t do bold for some reason so look __ symbols marks mistakes.

Still getting the same error, I think the invalid subscript ‘col’ is because ‘col’ is undeclared, it is declared here, is this correct?

struct vs2ps
{
float4 pos : POSITION;

//float4 uv : TEXCOORD0;
float4 col: COLOR0;

};

I am new to DX11 and coding in general, so I still have a lot to learn and appreciate your help.

Thanks

vs2ps VS(vs2ps input)

this isn’t correct…

vs2ps VS(vsin input)

then in the end:

float4 PS(gs2ps input) : SV_Target
{
	
}




return input.col;

there are two pdf’s on this page u should read General DX9 -> DX11 shader migration approach? [spez. atmoshpere and ocean shader]

Hello antokhio,

I made your suggested changes but it’s still returning invalid subscript ‘col’ at line 77?

Thanks also for the links to the PDFs that clarify some of the semantic changes…

{
	pass P0
	{
		SetVertexShader( CompileShader( vs_4_0, VS() ) );
		SetGeometryShader( CompileShader(gs_4_0,GS()));
		SetPixelShader( CompileShader( ps_4_0, PS() ) );
	}
}

that should do it
you have to study codding a bit, you break the parts that was working before…
i prolly should do something on shader basics
u might wanna look https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6YMb0jtUtfo and also https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=emaKnIX4Dr8

Thanks again, I think this was too advanced for me and should have started on something simpler. I’ll take your advice and check out the links
