qcMSAQuadWarper
GLSL Shader to do Quad Warping and map textures to surfaces. Created as a Quartz Composer patch which allows it to be used as a plugin for any QC compatible host. In the video below, the plugin is demonstrated in VDMX.
The main magic happens in the GLSL shader below.
uniform vec2 BL, BR, TL, TR;
uniform vec2 renderSize;
void main() {
// transform from QC object coords to 0...1
vec2 p = (vec2(gl_Vertex.x, gl_Vertex.y) + 1.) * 0.5;
// interpolate bottom edge x coordinate
vec2 x1 = mix(BL, BR, p.x);
// interpolate top edge x coordinate
vec2 x2 = mix(TL, TR, p.x);
// interpolate y position
p = mix(x1, x2, p.y);
// transform from 0...1 to QC screen coords
p = (p - 0.5) * renderSize;
gl_Position = gl_ModelViewProjectionMatrix * vec4(p, 0, 1);
gl_FrontColor = gl_Color;
gl_TexCoord[0] = gl_TextureMatrix[0] * gl_MultiTexCoord0;
}
