Background Scroll performance

Post by Lax »

Hi,

I have a workspace with up to 9 background images, which are place on the top of each other for background scrolling. I have 9 hlsl and 9 glsl shaders. This is a hlsl:

Code: Select all

Texture2D backgroundMap		: register(t0);
SamplerState samplerState	: register(s0);
float speedX;
float speedY;

float4 main(float2 uv0 : TEXCOORD0) : SV_Target
{
	// Apply scroll
	uv0.x += speedX;
	uv0.y += speedY;
	return backgroundMap.Sample( samplerState, uv0 );
}

#version ogre_glsl_ver_330

vulkan( layout( ogre_s0 ) uniform sampler2D backgroundMap;
vulkan( layout( ogre_s0 ) uniform sampler samplerState );

vulkan_layout( location = 0 ) uniform float speedX;
vulkan_layout( location = 0 ) uniform float speedY;

vulkan_layout( location = 0 ) out vec4 fragColour;

vulkan_layout( location = 0 )
in block
{
	vec2 uv0;
} inPs;

void main()
{
	// Apply scroll
	inPs.uv0.x += speedX;
	inPs.uv0.y += speedY;
	fragColour = texture( vkSampler2D( backgroundMap, samplerState ), inPs.uv0 )
}

Then I have 9 background.material files, which uses the shader and the texture. This is one of them:

Code: Select all

// GLSL shaders
fragment_program NOWABackgroundPostprocess_ps_GLSL glsl
{
	source NOWABackgroundPostprocess_ps.glsl
	default_params
	{
		param_named backgroundMap int 0
	}
}

// GLSL (Vulkan) shaders
fragment_program NOWABackgroundPostprocess_ps_VK glslvk
{
	source NOWABackgroundPostprocess_ps.glsl
	default_params
	{
		param_named backgroundMap int 0
	}
}

// HLSL shaders
fragment_program NOWABackgroundPostprocess_ps_HLSL hlsl
{
	source NOWABackgroundPostprocess_ps.hlsl
	entry_point main
	target ps_5_0 ps_4_0 ps_4_0_level_9_1 ps_4_0_level_9_3
}

// Metal shaders
fragment_program NOWABackgroundPostprocess_ps_Metal metal
{
	source NOWABackgroundPostprocess_ps.metal
	// Because of this one, propably metal will not work, because background is just one texture and this vs is created for cube and not adapted (to complicated).
	// shader_reflection_pair_hint NOWASkyPostprocess_vs_Metal
}

fragment_program NOWABackgroundPostprocess_ps unified
{
	delegate NOWABackgroundPostprocess_ps_HLSL
	delegate NOWABackgroundPostprocess_ps_GLSL
	delegate NOWABackgroundPostprocess_ps_VK
	// Causes could not find best technique crash
	// delegate NOWABackgroundPostprocess_ps_Metal
}

// Material definition
material NOWABackgroundPostprocess
{
	technique
	{
		
	pass
	{

I control the position via:

Code: Select all

void WorkspaceBackgroundComponent::setBackgroundScrollSpeedX(unsigned short index, Ogre::Real backgroundScrollSpeedX)
{
	// Threadsafe from the outside
	if (nullptr != this->passBackground[index])
	{
		this->passBackground[index]->getFragmentProgramParameters()->setNamedConstant("speedX", backgroundScrollSpeedX);
	}
}

void WorkspaceBackgroundComponent::setBackgroundScrollSpeedY(unsigned short index, Ogre::Real backgroundScrollSpeedY)
{
	// Threadsafe from the outside
	if (nullptr != this->passBackground[index])
	{
		this->passBackground[index]->getFragmentProgramParameters()->setNamedConstant("speedY", backgroundScrollSpeedY);
	}
}

So the issue is: This approach is totally slow. What can that be?

Re: Background Scroll performance

Post by Lax »

Hi,

ok I reimplemented everything. I have now:

Code: Select all

Ogre::Real layerEnabled[9];
Ogre::Real speedsX[9];
Ogre::Real speedsY[9];

In workspace node just one QUAD instead of 9:

Code: Select all

Ogre::String strMaterialName = "NOWABackgroundScroll";

Ogre::CompositorPassQuadDef* passQuad;
auto pass = targetDef->addPass(Ogre::PASS_QUAD);
passQuad = static_cast<Ogre::CompositorPassQuadDef*>(pass);

passQuad->mMaterialName = strMaterialName;
passQuad->mProfilingId = "NOWA_Background_Background_Pass_Scene";

I set data:

Code: Select all

void WorkspaceBackgroundComponent::changeBackground(unsigned short index, const Ogre::String& backgroundTextureName)
{
	if (index >= 9)
	{
		Ogre::LogManager::getSingletonPtr()->logMessage(Ogre::LML_CRITICAL,

	}

this->layerEnabled[index] = 1.0f;

Ogre::String strMaterialName = "NOWABackgroundScroll";
this->materialBackgroundPtr = Ogre::MaterialManager::getSingletonPtr()->getByName(strMaterialName);

if (this->materialBackgroundPtr.isNull())
{
	Ogre::LogManager::getSingletonPtr()->logMessage(Ogre::LML_CRITICAL,

	throw Ogre::Exception(Ogre::Exception::ERR_ITEM_NOT_FOUND,

this->passBackground = material->getTechnique(0)->getPass(0);

// Update layer enabled flags
this->passBackground->getFragmentProgramParameters()->setNamedConstant("layerEnabled", this->layerEnabled, 9, 1);

// Change background texture
Ogre::TextureUnitState* tex = this->passBackground->getTextureUnitState(index);
tex->setNumMipmaps(0);
tex->setTextureName(backgroundTextureName);

// Set proper texture addressing for scrolling
// tex->setTextureAddressingMode(Ogre::TextureUnitState::TAM_WRAP);

if (this->hardwareGammaEnabled->getBool())
{
	tex->setGamma(8.0);
}
tex->setHardwareGammaEnabled(this->hardwareGammaEnabled->getBool());

this->materialBackgroundPtr->compile();
}

	}

this->speedsX[index] = speedX;

// Update shader parameters
if (this->passBackground)
{
	this->passBackground->getFragmentProgramParameters()->setNamedConstant("speedsX", this->speedsX, 9, 1);
}
}

    currentLayer = backgroundMap0.Sample(samplerState, uv);
    result.rgb = lerp(result.rgb, currentLayer.rgb, currentLayer.a);
    result.a = max(result.a, currentLayer.a);
}

    result.rgb = lerp(result.rgb, currentLayer.rgb, currentLayer.a);
    result.a = max(result.a, currentLayer.a);
}

return result;
}

So: I test it with 2 textures, both are visible, if i commend out the layerEnabled, because, else I see just one texture.

But the big issue is: For testing I want to scroll both textures in x-direction. But just the first texture is always scrolled, the second one remains where it is. I have no idea why. With my old approach, that did work.

Has anybody an idea what is going on?

Re: Background Scroll performance

Post by Crystal Hammer »

Isn't this maybe an issue with having

Code: Select all

float speedsX[9];
float speedsY[9];
float layerEnabled[9];

float and [9] in shader?
I'd use float4 only and then .x .y .z .w for each
or maybe try float [12] to be 4 multiples.

Re: Background Scroll performance

Post by Lax »

Hi,

hm, but I have to satisfy for maximum of 9 Textures x and y scrolling (18 values).
So If I would use float4 it would not suit 18 values.

Maybe the issue is different and its not possible to have just one pass and 9 texture units and control just each of them?

In the past I had 9 shaders, each for one texture and that did work.

This is how I set the parameters from C++ to material for x-scroll:

this->passBackground->getFragmentProgramParameters()->setNamedConstant("speedsX", this->speedsX, 9, 1);

And this are the variables in the material:

// Initialize speeds
param_named speedsX float9 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
param_named speedsY float9 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0

And then used in the shader:

float speedsX[9];
float speedsY[9];

If I left of a variable, I get a crash, so those variables seems to be bound correctly. But only the first texture is scrolled, the second one is not scrolled, even I debugged it and the speeds array has correct values on each index.

I even found in an Ogre Compositor Effect such constellation:

Code: Select all

fragment_program ESM/GaussianLogFilterH_ps unified
{
	delegate ESM/GaussianLogFilterH_ps_GLSL
	delegate ESM/GaussianLogFilterH_ps_VK

}

Re: Background Scroll performance

Finally got it working with the help of ai (v0).

@Crystal Hammer: You were right to use multiples for float4, thanks!

For anyone, which may also want to have 9 textures parallax scrolling, this is the code:

Code: Select all

Texture2D backgroundMap5 : register(t5);
Texture2D backgroundMap6 : register(t6);
Texture2D backgroundMap7 : register(t7);
Texture2D backgroundMap8 : register(t8);
SamplerState samplerState : register(s0);

struct PS_INPUT
{
    float2 uv0 : TEXCOORD0;
};

float getArrayValue(float4 array[3], int idx)
{
    return array[idx / 4][idx % 4];
}

float4 main(
    PS_INPUT inPs,
    uniform float4 speedsX[3],
    uniform float4 speedsY[3],
    uniform float4 layerEnabled[3],
    float4 gl_FragCoord : SV_Position
) : SV_Target
{
    float4 result = float4(0, 0, 0, 0);
    

Texture2D maps[9] = {
    backgroundMap0, backgroundMap1, backgroundMap2,
    backgroundMap3, backgroundMap4, backgroundMap5,
    backgroundMap6, backgroundMap7, backgroundMap8
};

float2 uv0 = inPs.uv0;

for (int i = 0; i < 9; ++i)
{
    float enabled = getArrayValue(layerEnabled, i);
    if (enabled > 0.5f)
    {
        float2 scroll = float2(
            getArrayValue(speedsX, i),
            getArrayValue(speedsY, i)
        );
        
        float2 uv = uv0 + scroll;
        float4 layer = maps[i].Sample(samplerState, uv);
        result.rgb = lerp(result.rgb, layer.rgb, layer.a);
        result.a = max(result.a, layer.a);
