[vtkusers] Questions about vtkPolyData

[Patrick Bergeron]

Yep, I got that.

My question “Do these values make it into vertex shaders?“ was meant so that I’d like to know that, if they DO get into shaders, how would they be names, and what would the shader script look like, because I need to do custom GLSL shading stuff with scalar/vector attributes that are sent on a per-vertex basis.

(in fact, I want data to be sent on a per-vertex basis to the VTK vertex shader, so that I can make them a varying variable in the fragment shader).

Thanks!
Patrick

Hi Patrick,

You can do per-vertex and per-cell coloring.

For UV texture shading:

To try some of the possibilities of VTK, you want to use ParaView. This application is heavily based on VTK and can give you a good sense of what is feasible with VTK.

Thanks. Do these values make it into vertex shaders?

Hey

All these examples may help.

Hi everyone.

How would I go about specifying multiple sets of user attributes on a per-vertex basis on a polydata?

For example, hlet’s say I would like multiple sets of uv coordinates, normal, colors, int attributes, etc?

Thanks
