Where is the terra material->vs/ps assignment?

[Nickak2003]

I am studying terra, and am looking for where the terra vertex and pixel shaders are assigned. Is there a material file other than the .material.json that I have overlooked?

Hi,

terra has its own hlms infrastructure. Which is located at: "..\Ogre2.2SDK\Samples\Media\Hlms\Terra".
Vertex and Pixelshader are also located there.

Best Regards

I know where that stuff is at. I mean, in the C++, I do not see where that stuff is linked, normally a material specifies its vs and ps programs. I do not see where the terra vs/ps. I know where they are in the file structure, but not where they are linked in the c++.

Ok, i guess it is through the custom terra-hlms.

The vertex and pixel shaders are (do for each backend):

• Samples/Media/Hlms/Terra/GLSL/PixelShader_ps.glsl
• Samples/Media/Hlms/Terra/GLSL/VertexShader_vs.glsl

Which use pieces defined in Samples/Media/Hlms/Terra/Any, which at the same time reuse pieces defined by Samples/Media/Hlms/Pbs/Any

As for the C++ code, the shader is generated and linked by Hlms::compileShaderCode (overload 1) which loops and gathers through all piece files, finally processes VertexShader_vs.glsl/PixelShader_ps.glsl to generate the final shader source code and calls Hlms::compileShaderCode (overload 2) which actually performs gpuProgramManager->createProgram() and then calls gp->load() to compile it.
