# Dolphin Custom Pipeline Specification
|
|
|
|
Dolphin provides content creators a way to overwrite its internal graphics pipeline data using graphics mods. At the moment, this supports modifying only the pixel shader. This document will describe the specification and give some examples.
|
|
|
|
## Graphics mod metadata format
|
|
|
|
This feature is powered by graphics mods. This document assumes the user is familiar with them and will only detail the action specific data needed to trigger this capability.
|
|
|
|
The action type for this feature is `custom_pipeline`. This action has the following data:
|
|
|
|
|Identifier |Required | Since |
|
|
|-------------------------|---------|-------|
|
|
|``passes`` | **Yes** | v1 |
|
|
|
|
`passes` is an array of pass blobs. Note that at the moment, Dolphin only supports a single pass. Each pass can have the following data:
|
|
|
|
|Identifier |Required | Since |
|
|
|-------------------------|---------|-------|
|
|
|``pixel_material_asset`` | **Yes** | v1 |
|
|
|
|
Here `pixel_material_asset` is the name of a material asset.
|
|
|
|
A full example is given below:
|
|
|
|
```json
|
|
{
|
|
"assets": [
|
|
{
|
|
"name": "material_replace_normal",
|
|
"data":
|
|
{
|
|
"": "normal.material.json"
|
|
}
|
|
},
|
|
{

|

"group": "PipelineTarget"
|

|
|
},
|

"texture_filename": "tex1_512x512_m_afdbe7efg332229e_14",
|

"type": "create_texture"
|

}

]
|
|
}
|

]
|
|
}
|
|
```

|
|
|
## The shader format
|
|
|
|
The shaders are written in GLSL and converted to the target shader that the backend uses internally. The user is expected to provide an entrypoint with the following signature:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
vec4 custom_main( in CustomShaderData data )
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
`CustomShaderData` encompasses all the data that Dolphin will pass to the user (in addition to the `samp` variable outlined above which is how textures are accessed). It has the following structure:
|
|
|
|

## Examples
|
|
|
|
Below are a handful of examples.
|
|
|
|
### Single color
|
|
|
|
The following shader displays the color red on the screen:
|
|
|
|
```glsl
|
|
vec4 custom_main( in CustomShaderData data )
|
|
{
|
|
return vec4(1.0, 0.0, 0.0, 1.0);
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Normal
|
|
|
|
The following shader displays the normal on the screen:
|
|
|
|
```glsl
|
|
vec4 custom_main( in CustomShaderData data )
|
|
{
|
|
return vec4(data.normal * 0.5 + 0.5, 1);
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Reading a texture
|
|
|
|
The following shader displays the contents of the texture denoted in the shader asset as `MY_TEX` with the first texture coordinate data:
|
|
|
|
```glsl
|
|
vec4 custom_main( in CustomShaderData data )
|
|
{
|
|
return texture(samp_MY_TEX, TEX_COORD0);
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Capturing the first texture the game renders with
|
|
|
|
The following shader would display the contents of the first texture the game uses, ignoring any other operations. If no stages are available or none exist with a texture it would use the final color of all the staging operations:
|
|
|
|
```glsl
|
|
vec4 custom_main( in CustomShaderData data )
|
|
{
|
|
vec4 final_color = data.final_color;
|
|
uint texture_set = 0;
|
|
for (uint i = 0; i < data.tev_stage_count; i++)
|
|
{
|
|
// There are 4 color inputs
|
|
for (uint j = 0; j < 4; j++)
|
|
{
|
|
if (data.tev_stages[i].input_color[j].input_type == CUSTOM_SHADER_TEV_STAGE_INPUT_TYPE_TEX && texture_set == 0)
|
|
{
|
|
final_color = vec4(data.tev_stages[i].input_color[j].value, 1.0);
|
|
texture_set = 1;
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
return final_color;
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Applying lighting with a point type attenuation
|
|
|
|
The following shader would apply the lighting for any point lights used during the draw for channel 0's color lights, using blue as a base color:
|
|
|
|
```glsl
|
|
vec4 custom_main( in CustomShaderData data )
|
|
{
|
|
float total_diffuse = 0;
|
|
for (int i = 0; i < data.light_chan0_color_count; i++)
|
|
{
|
|
if (data.lights_chan0_color[i].attenuation_type == CUSTOM_SHADER_LIGHTING_ATTENUATION_TYPE_POINT)
|
|
{
|
|
vec3 light_dir = normalize(data.lights_chan0_color[i].position - data.position.xyz);
|
|
float attn = (dot(normal, light_dir) >= 0.0) ? max(0.0, dot(normal, data.lights_chan0_color[i].direction.xyz)) : 0.0;
|
|
vec3 cosAttn = data.lights_chan0_color[i].cosatt.xyz;
|
|
vec3 distAttn = data.lights_chan0_color[i].distatt.xyz;
|
|
attn = max(0.0, dot(cosAttn, vec3(1.0, attn, attn*attn))) / dot(distAttn, vec3(1.0, attn, attn * attn));
|
|
total_diffuse += attn * max(0.0, dot(normal, light_dir));
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
return vec4(total_diffuse * vec3(0, 0, 1), 1);
|
|
}
|
|
``` |
