Apricot GLSL Shading Node Demonstration

Posted on by

Pablo (venomgfx) has made an interesting 10 minute video demonstrating a few different ways of using nodes and some GLSL features for real time game effects.

It features a new way of creating mist, plus some other cool effects like leaves becoming invisible as the camera gets a certain distance away.

Pablo writes:

“The thing was that Mist option is still not supported in GLSL, how can I work around this?, Nodes! the great “Camera Data” is an input node that let you use information from the camera view to play with, such as the View Vector, View Z Depth, and View Distance (which is the one i’m using in this video). After playing for a while, I found out that this method was much more better than the boring Mist!”

You can read more about the video, and watch it on this page of the Apricot blog.

      hey! :) , what a surprise!, thanks for the report AD-Edge.

      Just wanted to say that you can expect a lot more videotutorials like this one (with better video quality, sound, etc) in the Apricot DVD.

      I hope this video is somehow useful. :D

      @ Lucas, those fish are dummy objects, like cubes representing where real piranhas will be later.
