VertexShader入门

Shader与固定管线

顶点着色（Vertex Shader）是一段执行在GPU上的程序（一般用HLSL来编写），用来取代fixed pipeline中的transformation和lighting，Vertex Shader主要操作顶点。

有图则一目了然。

Vertex Shader做了什么工作

由上图知，Vertex Shader对输入顶点完成了从local space到homogeneous clip space的变换过程，homogeneous clip space即projection space的下一个space。在这其间共有world transformation, view transformation和projection transformation及lighting几个过程。

优点（与fixed pipeline比较）

由于Vertex Shader是用户自定义程序，所以有很大的灵活性，不必再局限于D3D固定的算法，可以应用许多其他算法，比如可以操作顶点位置模拟衣服效果，操作顶点大小模拟例子系统及顶点混合，变形等，此外，顶点的数据结构也更加灵活。

Shader代码文件

Shader代码可以用纯文本文件来保存，比如记事本文件。我们来看一个最简单的Shader文件，该文件完成的功能是，将顶点由Local Space变换到Homogeneous Space，编辑Shader文件可以用DirectX的Effect Edit，不过新版SDK中没有这个工具了，另外显卡厂商也有自己的编辑器，NVIDIA 有FX Composer，ATI有Render Monkey。

     // World, View and Projection Matrix
uniform extern float4x4 gWVP; // Output Vertex structure
struct OutputVS
{float4 posH : POSITION0;
};OutputVS Main(float3 posL : POSITION0)
{// Zero out our output.
      OutputVS outVS = (OutputVS)0;// Transform to homogeneous clip space.
      outVS.posH = mul(float4(posL, 1.0f), gWVP);// Done--return the output.
      return outVS;
}

简单解释一下上述代码

第一行定义了一个全局变量gWVP，这个变量的命名是有规则的，g表示global，即全局变量，W表示World，V表示View，P表示Projection，也就是说这是World，View和Projection矩阵的乘积。但是在程序中我们并没有用到World矩阵，所以实际上就是View矩阵和Projection矩阵的乘积。uniform表示这是个常量，也就是在Shader执行的过程中这个量是不能改变的，extern表示这是一个外部输入量，全局变量默认就是uniform extern的。

接下来的Struct定义了顶点的输出格式，所谓输出就是有VertexShader操作完以后，顶点以何种方式呈现给下一级处理器（一般是Pixel Shader）。这里的输出格式很简单，只包含一个信息，就是顶点的位置。

最后的Main函数就是主要的处理过程，需要注意的是这个函数的名字要和程序中指定的名字保持一致，否则编译会失败。首先定义一个输出结构并清零，然后就是顶点变换，使用mul函数将顶点从Local Space变换到 Homogeneous Space。注意输入顶点是三维的，而齐次坐标是四维的，所以需要转换一下。

如何使用Shader

有了上面的Shader文件，我们就可以在程序中使用它了，下面将以逐步添加代码的方式讲述如何使用Shader文件，为了简化程序，我们将着重讲述有关Shader的代码，其他代码简单带过。

1.定义一个VertexShader指针，该指针可以用来用来保存编译后的Shader

    IDirect3DVertexShader9* g_pVertexShader         = NULL ; // vertex shader 

2. 定义一个常量表指针，常量表用来保存Shader文件中的变量，这些变量是Shader文件与C++ code通讯的媒介，比如我们要设置某些渲染状态，那么首先要通过程序修改这些变量，然后Shader文件读取这些变量就可以得到修改后的值。

    ID3DXConstantTable*     g_pConstantTable        = NULL ; // shader constant table 

3. 定义一个函数PrepareVertexShader，该函数用来编译Shader文件并做一些必要的设置，这个函数主要做两件事，一是从编译Shader文件，二是在编译完成后创建相应的Shader，每个步骤后面都有对应的错误处理，如果编译有错误，则输出错误信息，如果创建Shader失败也通知用户。当创建完Shader以后，就释放codeBuffer和errorBuffer。

     bool PrepareShader() 
{ // Buffer to hold the compiled code
    ID3DXBuffer *codeBuffer = NULL; // Buffer to hold the error message if complile failed
    ID3DXBuffer *errorBuffer = NULL; // Compile shader from file
    HRESULT hr = D3DXCompileShaderFromFileA("vertexshader.txt", 0, 0, "Main", "vs_1_1",  D3DXSHADER_ENABLE_BACKWARDS_COMPATIBILITY, &codeBuffer, &errorBuffer, &g_pConstantTable) ; // output any error messages 
    if( errorBuffer ) { MessageBoxA(0, (char*)errorBuffer->GetBufferPointer(), 0, 0); errorBuffer->Release() ; return false ;} if(FAILED(hr)) { MessageBox(0, L"D3DXCompileShaderFromFile() - FAILED", 0, 0); return false; } // Create vertex shader 
    hr = g_pd3dDevice->CreateVertexShader((DWORD*)codeBuffer->GetBufferPointer(), &g_pVertexShader) ; // handling error 
    if(FAILED(hr)) { MessageBox(0, L"CreateVertexShader - FAILED", 0, 0); return false; } // Release code buffer
    if (codeBuffer != NULL){codeBuffer->Release() ; codeBuffer = NULL ;}// Release DX buffer
    if (errorBuffer != NULL){errorBuffer->Release() ;errorBuffer = NULL ;}// Set handle
    ViewProjMatrixHanle = g_pConstantTable->GetConstantByName(0, "gWVP") ; return true ;
} 

4. 设置View Matrix和Projection Matrix。

单独定义一个函数用来设置矩阵，然后对View Matrix和Projection Matrix做乘积，最后通过常量表将乘积矩阵传递给Shader。Shader中通过这个矩阵来变换顶点，这就是本文的核心了。

代码

5 渲染，在Render函数中设置VertexShader，然后就可以渲染了。

     VOID Render() 
{ // Clear the back-buffer to a red color 
    g_pd3dDevice->Clear( 0, NULL, D3DCLEAR_TARGET, D3DCOLOR_XRGB(0,0,0), 1.0f, 0 ); // Begin the scene 
    if( SUCCEEDED( g_pd3dDevice->BeginScene() ) ) { // Set Vertex Shader 
        g_pd3dDevice->SetVertexShader(g_pVertexShader) ; // Render teapot
        g_pMesh->DrawSubset(0) ; // End the scene 
        g_pd3dDevice->EndScene(); } // Present the back-buffer contents to the display 
    g_pd3dDevice->Present( NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL ); 
}

如何查看显卡所支持的Vertex Shader版本

1 使用DirectX Caps Viewer查看

2 使用下面的代码查看

      1 // Check shader version
 2  bool CheckShaderVersion(LPDIRECT3DDEVICE9 g_pd3dDevice)
 3 {
 4     // Get device capabilities
 5      D3DCAPS9 caps ;
 6     g_pd3dDevice->GetDeviceCaps(&caps);
 7 
 8     // Make sure vertex shader version greater than 2.0
 9      if (caps.VertexShaderVersion < D3DVS_VERSION(2, 0))
10     {
11         return false  ;
12     }
13 
14     // Make sure pixel shader version greater than 2.0
15      if (caps.PixelShaderVersion < D3DPS_VERSION(2, 0))
16     {
17         return false ;
18     }
19 
20     return true ;
21 };
