Specular Shader Issue

[shivanangel]

Hello,

I was wondering if I could get a help with a Specular Shader problem.

I made a shader in the program AMD RenderMonkey, which if you are not familiar with is a 'sandbox' for making shaders and testing them out.

Everything works fine in RenderMonkey, but I run into the issue of nothing
rendering when I move into Vizard.

My Vertex Shader is:

//Uniform 

uniform vec3 LightPosition;
uniform vec3 EyePosition;
//Varying

varying vec3 ViewDirection;
varying vec3 LightDirection;
varying vec3 Normal;
varying vec2 Texcoord;
//Attributes

void main(void)
{
   gl_Position = ftransform();
   
   Texcoord = gl_MultiTexCoord0.xy;
   
   vec4 objectPosition = gl_ModelViewMatrix * gl_Vertex;
   
   LightDirection = (gl_ModelViewMatrix * vec4(LightPosition, 1)).xyz - objectPosition.xyz;
   ViewDirection = EyePosition - objectPosition.xyz;
   Normal = gl_NormalMatrix * gl_Normal;
}

My Fragment Shader:

uniform vec4 Diffuse;
uniform vec4 Ambient;
uniform vec4 Specular;
uniform vec3 LightPosition;
uniform vec3 EyePosition;
uniform float SpecularPower;

uniform sampler2D TexMap;
uniform sampler2D SpecMap;

varying vec3 LightDirection;
varying vec3 ViewDirection;
varying vec3 Normal;

varying vec2 Texcoord;

void main(void)
{
   vec3 nLightDirection = normalize(LightDirection);
   vec3 nNormal = normalize(Normal);
   
   float NDotL = dot(nNormal, nLightDirection);
  
   vec3 Reflection = normalize(((2.0 * nNormal) * NDotL) - nLightDirection); 
   vec3 nViewDirection = normalize(ViewDirection);
   float RDotV = max(0.0,dot(Reflection, nViewDirection));
   
   
   vec4 diffColor = texture2D(TexMap,Texcoord);
   vec4 specColor = texture2D(SpecMap, Texcoord);
   
   vec4 DiffuseColor = diffColor * Diffuse * NDotL;
   vec4 AmbientColor = Ambient * diffColor;
   vec4 SpecularColor = (Specular * (pow(RDotV, SpecularPower))) * specColor;
   
   gl_FragColor = DiffuseColor + AmbientColor + SpecularColor;
}

And my Vizard code for bringing in the shader and attaching it to the model:

import viz

viz.go()

shader = viz.addShader(flag = 0, vert = "SpecMap.vp", frag = "SpecMap.fp")

viz.MainView.eyeheight(0.0)

#Load model
trex = viz.add("TREX//TRex.CFG")

trex2 = viz.add('sphere.obj')
trex2.setPosition(15,0,0)
#Load Textures
TexMap = viz.addTexture('TRexTex_10_TexMap.bmp')
SpecMap = viz.addTexture('TRexTex_10_SpecMap.bmp')

#Attach textures
trex.texture(TexMap, '', 0)
trex.texture(SpecMap, '', 1)

trex2.texture(TexMap, '', 0)
trex2.texture(SpecMap, '', 1)

#Vertex Uniforms
EyePosition = viz.addUniformFloat('EyePosition', [0.0,0.0,0.0])
LightPosition = viz.addUniformFloat('fvLightPosition', [100,200,100])

#Fragment Uniforms
Diffuse = viz.addUniformFloat('Diffuse',[1.0,1.0,1.0,1.0])
Ambient = viz.addUniformFloat('Ambient',[1.0,1.0,1.0,1.0])
Specular = viz.addUniformFloat('Specular', [1.0,1.0,1.0,1.0])
SpecularPower = viz.addUniformFloat('SpecularPower', 3)

Texture =  viz.addUniformInt( 'TexMap', 0 )
SpecularMap = viz.addUniformInt( 'SpecMap', 1 )

shader.attach(Texture)
shader.attach(SpecularMap)

trex.apply(shader)
trex2.apply(shader)

In your Vizard code, you are only attaching the texture uniforms to the shader. You need to attach all the other uniforms as well (LightPosition, EyePosition, Diffuse, etc...).

Thank you for the keen eye.

Will you be including shader help anytime soon in your documentation?
I've had quite a time finding information across this forum and
peeking through other people's code.

Thanks again,
