[0062] Such as figure 1 As shown, the implementation provides a multi-platform-based coloring method for easy description, as a common server as an execution body, the server here is a device with data processing functions such as a tablet, computer, etc. Multi-platform-based coloring method includes the following steps:
[0063] S10, get the initial shader to be processed.
[0064] Specifically, the initial shader is a shader that can be used on a platform, the format of the initial shader can be any common shader, such as a shader in the GLSL format written in the opnegl shader language.
[0065] The main function of the shader conversion program can be accepted by cmake, and the main function of the shader converter can accept multiple input parameters. These input parameters have external customizations that can specify input file paths, output file paths, input file names, and output file names. The following is an example of the parameter of the input and output:
[0066] · InventPath: Enter the vertex shader file resource path;
[0067] · Infragpath: Enter the fragment shader file resource path;
[0068] · OUTVERTNAME: Output vertex shader file name;
[0069] · OUTFRAGNAME: Output fragment shader file name;
[0070] · OutjsonName: Output shader configuration file name;
[0071] · OUTPATHNAME: Coloring resources and profile output paths.
[0072] Such as figure 2 As shown, get the input file path and the input file name, the shader conversion project acquires the initial shader. Therefore, first obtain the shader name and shader address to be processed, then obtain the initial shader based on the shader name and the shader address.
[0073] S20, according to the preset conversion format, convert the initial shader to a plurality of shader files corresponding to the shader format.
[0074] Specifically, the initial shader needs to be converted as a conversion format as a conversion format, which is a shader than a shader platform, such as METAL, ESSL, HLSL, and SPIRV.
[0075] After obtaining the initial shader (color matching of the GLSL format), it needs to be converted. There are many coloring modes that convert a format shader to another format, any shadlock conversion method can be used in this scheme.
[0076] In order to facilitate the conversion of shader files, a shader is provided in this embodiment. In this embodiment, the open source library Glslang and Spirv_cross provided by the KHRONOSGROUP organization were introduced. After getting the initial shader, convert the initial shader into SPV metadata through the GLSLANG library, and written to the corresponding .spv file. The SPV metadata is then entered to the SPIRV-CROSS converter, and the SPIRV-CROSS converter can convert files in the SPIR-V format to other format files, so the SPV metadata can be converted into a shader file corresponding to the conversion format. Such as image 3 As shown, the language type of the input initial shader is GLSL. After the SPIRV-CROSS conversion, the output language type includes METAL, ELSL, and HLSL, the file format of the shader file is Metal, GLSL, and HLSL.
[0077] S30, generates a configuration file corresponding to the initial shader based on the first attribute value of the shader file and the second attribute value of the initial shader.
[0078] Specifically, after the conversion-converted shader file, the shader's name, function name, shader phase, etc. can be obtained. For example, the format of the shader file is HLSL, its file name is "Vertex_1_tex_map.vert.hlsl", the call function name is the main function, its shader phase is the vertices (VERT) phase. Among them, the shader stage also includes Frag (fragment), Geom (geometry), TESC (segmentation control), TESE (subdivision calculation), CoMP (calculated) and other stages. The file name determines that the name of the shader that needs to be rendered, the function name determines which function to enter the content to be rendered when rendering, the shader phase is used to define the main purpose of this shader, which can determine How to select and call the shader file when subsequent rendering, and therefore, these can determine the information used by the shader file as the first attribute value of the shader file.
[0079] The initial shader has a certain processing logic and processing parameters inside the initial shader, and these processing logic and processing parameters do not necessarily retain after the shader conversion. Therefore, in order to ensure that the converted shader file can be processed according to the processing logic and parameters of the initial shader, the processing logic and processing parameters are used as the second attribute value. The second attribute value can include a Layout List, a texture array, a Uniform block (UNIFORMBLOCK).
[0080] The second attribute value can be extracted when it acquires the initial shader, and the first attribute value can be generated when different shader files generates. After getting the first property value and the second property value, you can get the configuration file in a preset empty file in a certain writing rule.
[0081] It is worth noting that empty files do not refer to files with no content, but it has been file descriptions, but no files that have not been written to the first property value and the second attribute value, such as Figure 4 As shown, there is a part of the file description with a part of the first attribute value and the second attribute value written in an empty file. The shader conversion project employed in this embodiment is a C ++ language, and therefore, an example of the configuration file is displayed in the C ++ language. Since the profile is too long, it is described in several paragraphs.
[0082] The front part of the configuration file (first line to the fourth line) is the file instructions, and then describes the first property value of the few shaders of GLSL, GLSLES, HLSL, METAL, SPIRV, and then describes the list of the Layout list. Texture arrays and concrete information of UNIFORM blocks.
[0083] In order to facilitate subsequent search retries, in this scenario, the profile is formatted in JSON format. JSON is a lightweight data exchange format, easy to read and write, and it is also easy to analyze and generate, as long as JSON's grammar The rules, the definition of data parameters can be free to play. Such as image 3 As shown, the configuration file can be generated by TPROGRAM editing.
[0084] S40, when the rendering instruction is detected, the configuration file is retrieved based on the shader format in the rendering instruction to obtain the target attribute value corresponding to the rendering format.
[0085] Specifically, when you need to render a rendering object, generate rendering instructions, the rendering command contains information that requires rendered objects, which uses information on the shaders for rendering. When the rendering instruction is detected, the configuration file is retrieved according to the shader format in the rendering command, and the first attribute value corresponding to it is obtained, that is, the target property value.
[0086] For example, the shader format in the current rendering instruction is HLSL, retrieves the configuration file directly, only one HLSL shader in the configuration file, so the first property value of HLSL is used as the target attribute value.
[0087] Further, the color filter file in the HLSL format contains a vertex shader and fragment shader. In the rendering instruction, the rendering type, the rendering type includes vertex rendering, fragment rendering, etc. Therefore, when the target attribute value is further determined, the configuration file is retrieved according to the shader format in the rendering command, and the corresponding first attribute value to the corresponding first attribute value is used as the candidate attribute value. According to the rendering type in the rendering command, determine the target attribute value in the candidate attribute value.
[0088] S50, according to the second attribute value, the target shader corresponding to the rendering command is configured to obtain a rendered shader.
[0089] Specifically, after the target attribute value is determined, the color filter file corresponding to the target property value can be called based on the target attribute value, that is, the target shader. At the same time, the specific parameters in the target shader need to be configured according to the second attribute value. Such as Figure 7 ~ 9 As shown in the list, the specific information of the Layout list, the texture array, and the Uniform block is recorded in the configuration file, which can assign the second attribute value to the target shader to obtain the rendering shader.
[0090]In this embodiment, the Layout list includes a vertex shader property object location (index), a property name (Name), data type (type), and data type description, which includes "aposition" and "atexattr1", The data type can include a type such as a floating point. Texture arrays include Texture Binding, Location (INDEX), Texture Name (Name), Texture Type (Type), and Textesc. Uniform block information includes information of several plurality of Uniform blocks, each information including binding, name (Name), block, uniform block parameters (Parameters). Uniform block parameters include block properties (NAME), offset, data type (Type), data type description, default (Value).
[0091] Further, when the parameter configuration is performed, there are some parameters, such as Figure 9 The Uniform block section, the value value can be empty, which means the default value in the initial shader. However, when the target shader is configured, the default value of the target shader is used as the second attribute value of the target shader when the corresponding second attribute value is null value.
[0092] Further, the target shader can be a shader file in a shader file, or another self-compiled shader. For example, a self-compilation shader can be created in advance, which can be connected to the interface of other shader files to tune the part of the other shader files, and when the rendering command corresponds to the self-compiled shader Based on the second attribute value, the parameter configuration of the self-compiled shader is completed.
[0093] When the target shader includes self-compiling shaders, Figure 5 As shown, the first attribute value also includes a built-in shader, ie, whether the shader text is a coloring shader built into a self-compiled shader. If so, the shader text is no longer called, but directly using the built-in shader as a shader as a rendering.
[0094] S60, rendering the rendering file corresponding to the rendering command based on the rendering shader.
[0095] Specifically, due to a variety of formats of the conversion shader file, for the same rendering file, different types of shading files can be rendered to implement cross-platform rendering, and no longer need to compile them in multiple platforms. Both can be rendered.
[0096] Based on the above-mentioned multi-platform color use method, the above-described invention also provides a multi-platform shaded use device, such as Figure 10 Show, including:
[0097] The module 110 is acquired to obtain the initial shader to be processed;

[0114] The multi-platform-based coloring device is used, wherein the second attribute value includes a Layout list, a texture array, and UNIFORM block information.
