Name

fp20 - OpenGL fragment profile for NV2x (GeForce3, GeForce4 Ti, Quadro DCC, etc.)

Synopsis

  fp20

Description

This OpenGL profile corresponds to the per-fragment functionality introduced by GeForce3.

The capabilities of this profile are quite limited.

The compiler output for this profile conforms to the nvparse file format for describing NV_register_combiners and NV_texture_shader state configurations.

3D Api Dependencies

Requires OpenGL support for NV_texture_shader, NV_texture_shader2, and NV_register_combiners2 extensions. These extensions were introduced by GeForce3 and Quadro DCC GPUs.

Some standard library functions may require NV_texture_shader3. This extension was introduced by GeForce4 Ti and Quadro4 XGL GPUs.

Profile Options

None.

Data Types

fixed

The fixed data type corresponds to a native signed 9-bit integers normalized to the [-1.0,+1.0] range.

float

half

In most cases, the float and half data types are mapped to fixed for math operations.

Certain built-in standard library functions corresponding to NV_texture_shader operations operate at 32-bit floating-point precision.

Semantics

Input Semantics

The varying input semantics in the fp20 profile correspond to the respectively named varying output semantics of the vp20 profile.

Standard Library Issues

There are a lot of standard library issues with this profile.

Because the 'fp20' profile has limited capabilities, not all of the Cg standard library functions are supported. The list below presents the Cg standard library functions that are supported by this profile. See the standard library documentation for descriptions of these functions.

dot(floatN, floatN)
lerp(floatN, floatN, floatN)
lerp(floatN, floatN, float)
tex1D(sampler1D, float)
tex1D(sampler1D, float2)
tex1Dproj(sampler1D, float2)
tex1Dproj(sampler1D, float3)
tex2D(sampler2D, float2)
tex2D(sampler2D, float3)
tex2Dproj(sampler2D, float3)
tex2Dproj(sampler2D, float4)
texRECT(samplerRECT, float2)
texRECT(samplerRECT, float3)
texRECTproj(samplerRECT, float3)
texRECTproj(samplerRECT, float4)
tex3D(sampler3D, float3)
tex3Dproj(sampler3D, float4)
texCUBE(samplerCUBE, float3)
texCUBEproj(samplerCUBE, float4)

Note: The non-projective texture lookup functions are actually done as projective lookups on the underlying hardware. Because of this, the 'w' component of the texture coordinates passed to these functions from the application or vertex program must contain the value 1.

Texture coordinate parameters for projective texture lookup functions must have swizzles that match the swizzle done by the generated texture shader instruction. While this may seem burdensome, it is intended to allow 'fp20' profile programs to behave correctly under other pixel shader profiles. The list below shows the swizzles required on the texture coordinate parameter to the projective texture lookup functions.

Texture Shader Operations

In order to take advantage of the more complex hard-wired shader operations provided by NV_texture_shader, a collection of built-in functions implement the various shader operations.

Examples

The following examples illustrate how a developer can use Cg to achieve NV_texture_shader/NV_register_combiners functionality.

Example 1

 struct VertexOut {
    float4 color     : COLOR0;
    float4 texCoord0 : TEXCOORD0;
    float4 texCoord1 : TEXCOORD1;
};

float4 main(VertexOut IN,
            uniform sampler2D diffuseMap,
            uniform sampler2D normalMap) : COLOR
{
    float4 diffuseTexColor = tex2D(diffuseMap, IN.texCoord0.xy);
    float4 normal = 2 * (tex2D(normalMap, IN.texCoord1.xy) - 0.5);
    float3 light_vector = 2 * (IN.color.rgb - 0.5);
    float4 dot_result = saturate(dot(light_vector, normal.xyz).xxxx);
    return dot_result * diffuseTexColor;
}

Example 2

struct VertexOut {
    float4 texCoord0 : TEXCOORD0;
    float4 texCoord1 : TEXCOORD1;
    float4 texCoord2 : TEXCOORD2;
    float4 texCoord3 : TEXCOORD3;
};

float4 main(VertexOut IN,
            uniform sampler2D normalMap,
            uniform sampler2D intensityMap,
            uniform sampler2D colorMap) : COLOR
{
    float4 normal = 2 * (tex2D(normalMap, IN.texCoord0.xy) - 0.5);
    float2 intensCoord = float2(dot(IN.texCoord1.xyz, normal.xyz),
                                dot(IN.texCoord2.xyz, normal.xyz));
