Using below code I can display an image in openGL control. Which is in rectangular shape. Now I want to project top and bottom area of this rectangular to a cylindrical shape.I mean need to perform a rectangular to cylidrical projection on openGL. How can I achieve this?
private void CreateShaders()
{
/***********Vert Shader********************/
vertShader = GL.CreateShader(ShaderType.VertexShader);
GL.ShaderSource(vertShader, @"attribute vec3 a_position;
varying vec2 vTexCoord;
void main() {
vTexCoord = (a_position.xy + 1) / 2;
gl_Position = vec4(a_position, 1);
}");
GL.CompileShader(vertShader);
/***********Frag Shader ****************/
fragShader = GL.CreateShader(ShaderType.FragmentShader);
GL.ShaderSource(fragShader, @"precision highp float;
uniform sampler2D sTexture; varying vec2 vTexCoord;
void main ()
{
// vec4 color = texture2D (sTexture, vTexCoord);
vec2 x =vTexCoord - vec2(0.5);
float r = length(x);//radious
float u = r*atan( vTexCoord.x/sqrt(r*r-(vTexCoord.x*vTexCoord.x )));
float v = (r*vTexCoord.y)/sqrt(r*r );
vec4 color = texture2D(sTexture, vec2(u, v));
gl_FragColor = color;
}");
GL.CompileShader(fragShader);
}
Hope making some changes on vTexCoord of shader code will do the result.
If you want to project a 2D textur on a 2d plane as it would be a 3D cylinder, then you have to transform the texture coordinate by an arcus function (asin
or acos
) in the fragment shader.
The texture coordinate in the range [0, 1] have to be associated to an angle on a circle in the range [-90°, 90°] by the asin
function. This angle can be linear mapped to the new texture coordinate in the range [0, 1].
The input to the function is an angle and the return value is a distance:
float u = asin( vTexCoord.x*2.0-1.0 ) / 3.141593 + 0.5;
Vertex shader:
attribute vec3 a_position;
varying vec2 vTexCoord;
void main()
{
vTexCoord = (a_position.xy + 1) / 2;
gl_Position = vec4(a_position, 1);
}
Fragment shader:
precision highp float;
uniform sampler2D sTexture;
varying vec2 vTexCoord;
void main()
{
float u = asin( vTexCoord.x*2.0-1.0 ) / 3.141593 + 0.5;
float v = vTexCoord.y;
vec4 color = texture2D(sTexture, vec2(u, v));
gl_FragColor = color;
}
See the difference between the result of the original code and the code which uses the asin
mapping:
In the projection to a 2D plane, the top and bottom of the cylinder is an ellipse, which can be expressed by:
float b = 0.3;
float y = b * sqrt(1.0 - x*x)
The projection of the texture has to be squeezed at the top and the bottom to form an elliptical shape:
float v_scale = (1.0 + b) / (1.0 + y);
float v = (pos.y * v_scale) * 0.5 + 0.5;
The area which is clipped has to be discarded by using the discard
keyword in the fragment shader:
if ( v < 0.0 || v > 1.0 )
discard;
See the difference between the result without the elliptical distortion and the code which uses the elliptical distortion:
The fragment shader which combines the asin
texture coordinate mapping and the elliptical distortion:
Fragment shader:
precision highp float;
uniform sampler2D sTexture;
varying vec2 vTexCoord;
void main()
{
vec2 pos = vTexCoord.xy * 2.0 - 1.0;
float b = 0.3;
float v_scale = (1.0 + b) / (1.0 + b * sqrt(1.0 - pos.x*pos.x));
float u = asin( pos.x ) / 3.1415 + 0.5;
float v = (pos.y * v_scale) * 0.5 + 0.5;
if ( v < 0.0 || v > 1.0 )
discard;
vec3 texColor = texture2D( u_texture, vec2(u, v) ).rgb;
gl_FragColor = vec4( texColor.rgb, 1.0 );
}
The combined result:
