Get high precision output from shader - unity3d

I want to render high precision float values to a texture, but the values I read are clamped to [0, 1]. Is there anyway to get unclamped values?
Here is the fragment portion of the shader code:
float4 frag (v2f i) : SV_TARGET
{
return float4(0.098, 0.698, 200, 100000); // Obviously a contrived example.
}
Here is the code creating the texture to render to:
RenderTextureDescriptor rtd = new RenderTextureDescriptor(1, 1, RenderTextureFormat.ARGBFloat);
RenderTexture rt = RenderTexture.GetTemporary(rtd);
RenderTexture.active = rt;
mainCamera.SetReplacementShader(selectionShader, "");
mainCamera.Render(); // OnPostRender will be called
mainCamera.ResetReplacementShader();
Read code (in OnPostRender):
Texture2D hitTexture = new Texture2D(1, 1, TextureFormat.RGBAFloat, false);
Rect rect = new Rect(0, 0, 1, 1);
hitTexture.ReadPixels(rect, 0, 0, false);
Color pixelSample = hitTexture.GetPixel(0, 0);
Debug.Log("Sample: " + pixelSample);
The output is "RGBA(0.098, 0.698, 1.000, 1.000)", rather than "RGBA(0.098, 0.698, 200, 100000)" as hoped/expected.

How can I display some text in the top right corner of a Mapbox map?

It looks to me like labels are meant to be anchored to objects in the map. In this case, I want to display some text on top of the map all of time.
I want it to be in the webgl itself, not an html element on top of it.
There are probably a million different ways to better accomplish your REAL objective, if you'd only state what that is, but anyway, if you're really determined to do what your question states...
Make an image with your text.
Base64 Encode that image.
Initialize the map with preserveDrawingBuffer: true (note, performance will suffer)
Use the following code. Replace the long base64 string with YOUR image. Replace the token with YOUR token.
// TO MAKE THE MAP APPEAR YOU MUST
// ADD YOUR ACCESS TOKEN FROM
// https://account.mapbox.com
mapboxgl.accessToken = 'REPLACEME';
const map = new mapboxgl.Map({
container: 'map', // container ID
// Choose from Mapbox's core styles, or make your own style with Mapbox Studio
style: 'mapbox://styles/mapbox/streets-v11', // style URL
center: [-74.5, 40], // starting position [lng, lat]
zoom: 9, // starting zoom
projection: 'globe', // display the map as a 3D globe,
preserveDrawingBuffer: true
});

Fiddle (you have to change map token in order to see it in action): https://jsfiddle.net/rygj51ca/1/
The above code will render an image of a smiley on the mapbox canvas, bottom left corner, every time the map renders.
If you want text in "the top right corner", then you don't want it in the map at all, you want it over the map.
In that case, the best way is just to use a different HTML element, styled however you like. Along these lines:
<div id="map" />
<div id="text-overlay" style="position: absolute; right: 0; top: 0;>Here's my text</div>

How to modify a Texture pixels from a compute shader in unity?

I stumbled upon a strange problem in vuforia.When i request a camera image using CameraDevice.GetCameraImage(mypixelformat), the image returned is both flipped sideways and rotated 180 deg. Because of this, to obtain a normal image i have to first rotate the image and then flip it sideways.The approach i am using is simply iterating over pixels of the image and modifying them.This approach is very poor performance wise.Below is the code:
Texture2D image;
CameraDevice cameraDevice = Vuforia.CameraDevice.Instance;
Vuforia.Image vufImage = cameraDevice.GetCameraImage(pixelFormat);
image = new Texture2D(vufImage.Width, vufImage.Height);
vufImage.CopyToTexture(image);
Color32[] colors = image.GetPixels32();
System.Array.Reverse(colors, 0, colors.Length); //rotate 180deg
image.SetPixels32(colors); //apply rotation
image = FlipTexture(image); //flip sideways
//***** THE FLIP TEXTURE METHOD *******//
private Texture2D FlipTexture(Texture2D original, bool upSideDown = false)
{
Texture2D flipped = new Texture2D(original.width, original.height);
int width = original.width;
int height = original.height;
for (int col = 0; col < width; col++)
{
for (int row = 0; row < height; row++)
{
if (upSideDown)
{
flipped.SetPixel(row, (width - 1) - col, original.GetPixel(row, col));
}
else
{
flipped.SetPixel((width - 1) - col, row, original.GetPixel(col, row));
}
}
}
flipped.Apply();
return flipped;
}
To improve the performance i want to somehow schedule these pixel operations on the GPU, i have heard that a compute shader can be used, but i have no idea where to start.Can someone please help me write the same operations in a compute shader so that the GPU can handle them, Thankyou!.
The whole compute shader are new for me too, but i took the occasion to research it a little bit for myself too. The following works for flipping a texture vertically (rotating and flipping horizontally should be just a vertical flip).
Someone might have a more elaborate solution for you, but maybe this is enough to get you started.
The Compute shader code:
#pragma kernel CSMain
// Create a RenderTexture with enableRandomWrite flag and set it
// with cs.SetTexture
RWTexture2D<float4> Result;
Texture2D<float4> ImageInput;
float2 flip;
[numthreads(8,8,1)]
void CSMain (uint3 id : SV_DispatchThreadID)
{
flip = float2(512 , 1024) - id.xy ;
Result[id.xy] = float4(ImageInput[flip].x, ImageInput[flip].y, ImageInput[flip].z, 1.0);
}
and called from any script:
public void FlipImage()
{
int kernelHandle = shader.FindKernel("CSMain");
RenderTexture tex = new RenderTexture(512, 1024, 24);
tex.enableRandomWrite = true;
tex.Create();
shader.SetTexture(kernelHandle, "Result", tex);
shader.SetTexture(kernelHandle, "ImageInput", myTexture);
shader.Dispatch(kernelHandle, 512/8 , 1024 / 8, 1);
RenderTexture.active = tex;
result.ReadPixels(new Rect(0, 0, tex.width, tex.height), 0, 0);
result.Apply();
}
This takes an input Texture2D, flips it in the shader, applies it to a RenderTexture and to a Texture2D, whatever you need.
Note that the image sizes are hardcoded in my instance and should be replaced by whatever size you need. (for within the shader use shader.SetInt(); )

How to use DrawNode with RenderTexture cocos2d-x

I cannot draw a simple line or a dot with DrawNode and RenderTexture.
This is how to I implemented:
AppDelegate.cpp
auto scene = Scene::create();
auto layer = BackgroundLayer::create();
scene->addChild(layer);
// run
director->runWithScene(scene);
BackgroundLayer.cpp
bool BackgroundLayer::init()
{
if ( !LayerColor::initWithColor(Color4B::WHITE) )
{
return false;
}
auto renderTexture = RenderTexture::create(300, 200);
renderTexture->beginWithClear(0, 0, 0, 1); // black
auto drawPrimitive = DrawNode::create();
drawPrimitive->retain();
drawPrimitive->drawDot(Point(250, 250), 20, Color4F::RED);
drawPrimitive->visit();
renderTexture->end();
renderTexture->retain();
renderTexture->setPosition(this->getContentSize()/2);
this->addChild(renderTexture, 10000);
}
I tried with some complex shape with DrawNode, but the result is just a black rectangle stayed in the center of the screen.
I compile with cocos2d-x v3.6 & VS2013.
auto renderTexture = RenderTexture::create(50, 50);
renderTexture->beginWithClear(0, 0, 0, 1); // black
auto drawPrimitive = DrawNode::create();
drawPrimitive->retain();
drawPrimitive->drawDot(Point(10, 10), 2, Color4F::RED);
drawPrimitive->visit();
renderTexture->end();
renderTexture->retain();
renderTexture->setPosition(SCREENSIZE.width/2,SCREENSIZE.height/2);
this->addChild(renderTexture, 10000);
Try this it will create red dot on the texture

alpha blending looking wrong/different on iPhone/Pad

I'm drawing some alpha blended sprites. I have the same assets rendering on Win32 using D3D and OpenGL, and the correct result looks like this when the vertex color is 0xFFFFFF and the background colour is 0xC0D0E0
On Win32/OpenGL I enable blending as follows:
glBlendFunc(GL_SRC_ALPHA, GL_ONE_MINUS_SRC_ALPHA);
glEnable(GL_BLEND);
and on Win32/D3D as follows:
CD3D11_BLEND_DESC blendDesc(D3D11_DEFAULT);
D3D11_RENDER_TARGET_BLEND_DESC rtBlendDesc;
rtBlendDesc.BlendEnable = true;
rtBlendDesc.BlendOp = D3D11_BLEND_OP_ADD;
rtBlendDesc.BlendOpAlpha = D3D11_BLEND_OP_ADD;
rtBlendDesc.DestBlend = D3D11_BLEND_INV_SRC_ALPHA;
rtBlendDesc.DestBlendAlpha = D3D11_BLEND_ZERO;
rtBlendDesc.RenderTargetWriteMask = D3D11_COLOR_WRITE_ENABLE_ALL;
rtBlendDesc.SrcBlend = D3D11_BLEND_SRC_ALPHA;
rtBlendDesc.SrcBlendAlpha = D3D11_BLEND_ZERO;
blendDesc.RenderTarget[0] = rtBlendDesc;
gDevice->CreateBlendState(&blendDesc, &mBlendState);
then, at render time:
gContext->OMSetBlendState(mBlendState, NULL, 0xffffffff);
On Win32/OpenGL I use the fixed function pipeline, and on DX11 I use very simple vert/pixel shaders:
float4 SpritePixelShader(PS_INPUT input) : SV_Target
{
return (txDiffuse.Sample(samLinear, input.Tex)) * input.Col;
}
PS_INPUT SpriteVertexShader(VS_INPUT input)
{
PS_INPUT output = (PS_INPUT)0;
output.Pos = mul(float4(input.Pos.x, input.Pos.y, 0.5, 1.0), projection);
output.Tex = input.Tex;
output.Col = input.Col;
return output;
}
All well and good. OpenGL and D3D give me identical results.
On OpenGL ES 2.0 on the iPhone simulator (not sure if this is a simulator thing or not, I can't test on a device yet):
I enable blending similarly:
glBlendFunc(GL_SRC_ALPHA, GL_ONE_MINUS_SRC_ALPHA);
glEnable(GL_BLEND);
My fragment/vertex shaders are similar:
// fragment shader
void main()
{
gl_FragColor = color * texture2D(s_texture, texCoord);
}
// vertex shader
void main()
{
color = vertexColor;
texCoord = vertexTexCoord;
gl_Position = matrix * vec4(vertexPosition, 0, 1);
}
But I get this:
Which seems to be using modulate rather than additive. I've tried calling:
glBlendEquation(GL_FUNC_ADD);
but that doesn't seem to do anything, nor does
glBlendEquationOES(GL_FUNC_ADD_OES);
If I use:
glBlendFunc(GL_ONE, GL_ONE_MINUS_SRC_ALPHA);
then it looks right but the alpha component of the vertex colors is ignored (and I need it to be used).
Does anyone have any ideas?
Thanks!
Charlie.

Send a BOOL value to a Fragment Shader OpenGL ES 2.0 on iOS / iPhone

I'm new to OpenGL ES 2.0 so please bear with me... I'd like to pass a BOOL flag into my fragment shader so that after a certain touch event has occurred in my app, it renders gl_FragColor differently. I tried using a vec2 attribute for this and just "faking" the .x value as my "BOOL" but it looks like OpenGL is normalizing the value from 0.0 to 1.0 before the shader gets ahold of it. So even though in my app I've set it to 0.0, while the shader is doing its thing, the value will eventually reach 1.0. Any suggestions would be hugely appreciated.
VertexAttrib Code:
// set up context, shaders, use program etc.
[filterProgram addAttribute:#"inputBrushMode"];
inputBrushModeAttribute = [filterProgram attributeIndex:#"inputBrushMode"];
bMode[0] = 0.0;
bMode[1] = 0.0;
glVertexAttribPointer(inputBrushModeAttribute, 2, GL_FLOAT, 0, 0, bMode);
Current Vertex Shader Code:
...
attribute vec2 inputBrushMode;
varying highp float brushMode;
void main()
{
gl_Position = position;
...
brushMode = inputBrushMode.x;
}
Current Fragment Shader Code:
...
varying highp float brushMode;
void main()
{
if(brushMode < 0.5) {
// render the texture
gl_FragColor = texture2D(inputImageTexture, textureCoordinate);
} else {
// cover things in yellow funk
gl_FragColor = vec4(1,1,0,1);
}
}
Thanks in advance.
Create the bool as a glUniform (1.0 or 0.0) instead. Set its value with glUniform1f(GLint location, GLfloat v0). In the shader, check its value like so:
if (my_uniform < 0.5) {
// FALSE
} else {
// TRUE
}
