Lightweight Java Gaming Library / How to Read Data from a Compute Shader using a UBO?
« Last post by mattbick2003 on July 16, 2018, 06:14:49 »I am trying to read a ton of floats from a compute shader into a buffer. I simply have no idea how to do this, and I have searched and tried to follow things such as tutorials and other forums. Sadly, I just don't understand how to read my data from my Compute Shader into a FloatBuffer.
Compute Shader:
The Java Code:
Compute Shader:
Code: [Select]
#version 430
uniform vec3 startPos;
uniform int xSize;
uniform int ySize;
uniform int zSize;
layout(std430, binding = 1) buffer Vals
{
float vals[];
};
uniform Vals {
uniform float vals[];
};
layout(local_size_x = 1, local_size_y = 1, local_size_z = 1) in;
vec3 random3(vec3 c) {
float j = 4096.0*sin(dot(c,vec3(17.0, 59.4, 15.0)));
vec3 r;
r.z = fract(512.0*j);
j *= .125;
r.x = fract(512.0*j);
j *= .125;
r.y = fract(512.0*j);
return r-0.5;
}
/* skew constants for 3d simplex functions */
const float F3 = 0.3333333;
const float G3 = 0.1666667;
/* 3d simplex noise */
float simplex3d(vec3 p) {
/* 1. find current tetrahedron T and it's four vertices */
/* s, s+i1, s+i2, s+1.0 - absolute skewed (integer) coordinates of T vertices */
/* x, x1, x2, x3 - unskewed coordinates of p relative to each of T vertices*/
/* calculate s and x */
vec3 s = floor(p + dot(p, vec3(F3)));
vec3 x = p - s + dot(s, vec3(G3));
/* calculate i1 and i2 */
vec3 e = step(vec3(0.0), x - x.yzx);
vec3 i1 = e*(1.0 - e.zxy);
vec3 i2 = 1.0 - e.zxy*(1.0 - e);
/* x1, x2, x3 */
vec3 x1 = x - i1 + G3;
vec3 x2 = x - i2 + 2.0*G3;
vec3 x3 = x - 1.0 + 3.0*G3;
/* 2. find four surflets and store them in d */
vec4 w, d;
/* calculate surflet weights */
w.x = dot(x, x);
w.y = dot(x1, x1);
w.z = dot(x2, x2);
w.w = dot(x3, x3);
/* w fades from 0.6 at the center of the surflet to 0.0 at the margin */
w = max(0.6 - w, 0.0);
/* calculate surflet components */
d.x = dot(random3(s), x);
d.y = dot(random3(s + i1), x1);
d.z = dot(random3(s + i2), x2);
d.w = dot(random3(s + 1.0), x3);
/* multiply d by w^4 */
w *= w;
w *= w;
d *= w;
/* 3. return the sum of the four surflets */
return dot(d, vec4(52.0));
}
void main() {
vals[gl_GlobalInvocationID.x + gl_GlobalInvocationID.y * xSize + gl_GlobalInvocationID.z * xSize * ySize] = simplex3d(gl_GlobalInvocationID);

. I'm a bit stuck right now, and I'd like to ask you some questions, but it's off topic here ; I'll make a new one.
