@Christoph-Hart Hey Christoph. Awesome. Thank you! Well, no scriptnode so far. It’s on the to-do list. I was busy working on a granular processor and an Euclidean Sequencer... so... I might just risk it...

[Christoph Hart]

Please check again, I noticed that Intel HD graphic cards do not support the #line directive, so I deactivated this.

@Christoph-Hart No luck so far... I was already getting excited!

[Christoph Hart]

I added a getOpenGLStatistics method to the shader class - it needs to render the shader once before it returns something useful though, so you need to add it after the applyShader function in the paint routine (and the script panel needs to be visible on the screen):

g.applyShader(shader, [0, 0, this.getWidth(), this.getHeight()]);
Console.print(shader.getOpenGLStatistics()));

Can you post the output, maybe this will give a glue.

I put the getOpenGLStatistics after the applyShader line as instructed.

Now. The output seems to be a bit inconsistent... I get this normally:

then occasionally, after hitting compile a few more times, I do get the following:

hmm, can anyone explain what this is ? How can I make graphics using this ?

[A Former User]

@lalalandsynth Have a look at the Art of Code YouTube channel... link in docs! It’s not yet working on my system but that channel shows off some impressive stuff you can make with shader code!

[Christoph Hart]

Ah that gl_fc stuff is helpful - I had it myself on macOS. I‘ll push a fix in a few hours...

@Christoph-Hart 🥳🥳🥳

Also this one is joining the party:
Interface:! ERROR: 0:16: '}' : syntax error: syntax error

[Christoph Hart]

Can you try again, I just pushed a fix for the first compile error - I think it should fix the other one too.

[A Former User]

@Christoph-Hart I just pulled and compiled... but still get those lines back...

[Christoph Hart]

Damn that's a sticky one.

Don't bother about the Line 12 errors, they're just a follow up from the other stuff. Are there any other error messages popping up? For some reason the GLSL language is less standardized than I hoped it would be, so these macOS shenanigans are super annoying.

I'll do some more digging... Maybe also try a few of the other, simple examples on shadertoy...

This one's new:

[Christoph Hart]

Nah, it's something around the glue code that I have to add in order to make it work, so any example will cause the same error.

I will have to check again thoroughly on Monday, but what macOS version and GPU are you using?

I'll leave this HISE snippet here for a quickstart into GLSL with HISE: (requires the latest scriptnode_codegen_rewrite branch)

The new shader.glsl file will get created in the the Scripts folder of your project. Now it has to be filled with some content to make it work: Gladly Chris has introduced a new shortcut to directly access the .glsl file in HISE. Click the "onInit"-callback dropdown on the top of the Code Editor to open the file directly in the Code-editor, paste this snippet and compile [f5].

uniform float myValue;

void main()
{
    // Normalized pixel coordinates (from 0 to 1)
    vec2 uv = fragCoord/iResolution.xy;

    // Time varying pixel color
    vec3 col = myValue * sin(uv.xyx+vec3(1,2,3));

    // Output to screen
    fragColor = pixelAlpha * vec4(col, 1);
}

Happy journey :)

@Dominik-Mayer Thanks for this Dominik. I tried your snippet but my interface still returns an unknown error! Are you on Mac or Windows?

EDIT: Thinks for the myValue inclusion in your script. That was a question I actually had!

[Christoph Hart]

Hmm, I'm at the end of my options to figure out why it's not working on your end - I just checked and it works on my mac mini which has an ancient GPU and shader version.

A last thing you can do is to download and compile the JUCE OpenGL 2d demo app here:

https://github.com/juce-framework/JUCE/blob/master/examples/GUI/OpenGLDemo2D.h

And see if these minimal shaders work.

Will do so Christoph. Thanks for the efforts... So this might be something on my end really! Maybe a GPU problem? I’ll check the JUCE example...
