  2. Breakdown • Background • Review – texturing and lighting • Adding detail • Bump and Normal Mapping • Examples • Shaders • Advanced Techniques • Parallax mapping • Tessellation

  3. Recommended Reading • Real-Time Rendering • Chapter 6, section 6.7 onwards • For tessellation, see 13.6

  4. Background

  5. Review - Lighting • Lighting is the technique we use to provide depth to our renders • Three basic lighting types • Ambient • Background light • Diffuse • Directional light • Specular • Shininess

  6. Review - Textures • Textures are just a 2D grid of pixels we can use for other purposes • For examples, alpha-mapping • We can use texture data in our shaders to perform more elaborate effects • Using texture data is one of the commonest techniques for adding more detail to a 3D model

  7. Problem – Adding Detail • We want detail • The more detail the better • How do we get high detail renders in our game so we can see creases in fingers, notches in swords, etc?

  8. Solution – Add Geometry • Easy solution – add more triangles • Artist’s solution • More triangles means more geometry means higher quality • So job done, right?

  9. Problem – Processing Geometry • Problem is processing high poly count models • Typically try and keep characters down to 25,000 • High number of triangles means it takes longer to render • Fine for non-real-time applications • Games we need better techniques • So how do we add detail, without adding geometry?

  10. Cheating with Lighting • Effectively, we have already been doing this • Lighting cheats • Phong shading is an example • We need techniques which allow us to manipulate the light to make it look like there is detail

  11. Options • Bump Mapping • Normal Mapping • Relief Mapping • Parallax Mapping

  12. Questions?

  13. Bump and Normal Mapping

  14. Bump Mapping • Bump mapping is the technique used to add detail to a surface • Think roughness / texture • Bump mapping is the simplest technique for adding detail using textures

  15. Bump Map • A bump map is just a black and white image that is used to modify the surface a model to provide a rough look • Detail is very fine, surface level • Think cloth texture

  16. Video Example • http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HR422RXjw-Q

  17. Procedural Bump Mapping Frag Shader vec3 litColour; vec2 c = BumpDensity * TexCoord.st; vec2 p = fract(c) – vec2(0.5); float d, f; d = dot(p, p); f = inversesqrt(d + 1.0); if (d >= BumpSize) { p = vec2(0, 0); f = 1.0; } vec3 normDelta = vec3(p.x, p.y, 1.0) * f; litColour = SurfaceColour.rgb * max(dot(normDelta, LightDir), 0.0); vec3 reflectDir = reflect(LightDir, normDelta); // Use reflectDir as relection normal

  18. Normal Mapping • Normal mapping extends on the bump mapping technique to create a more shaped detail • Think brick work rather than low level surface

  19. Normal Maps • Normal maps use RGB as their texture colours • Depending on the colour, the lighting model determines the normal of the model at that particular point of the texture

  20. Video Example • http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pQS2m18ebEI

  21. Normal Mapping Shader • Normal mapping shader works similarly to the bump mapping shader • Typically, we add specularity as well • Main difference is that our normals are more than two values, allowing a more realistic lighting effect

  22. Questions?

  23. Advanced Techniques

  24. Relief Mapping • Relief mapping is where we add detail using a texture, but actually manipulate the geometry to create the detail • Actually, we talked a bit about relief mapping for terrain generation last week • We are manipulating a 3D plane into our 3D terrain • Relief mapping is useful, but more expensive

  25. Relief Map Example • http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5gorm90TXJM

  26. Parallax Mapping • AKA virtual displacement mapping • Uses the viewer position to retrieve different pixels from the texture based on the height field

  27. Video Example • http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R4vIQobnegk

  28. Displacement Mapping • Essentially relief mapping • Proper relief mapping has the ability for self-occlusion and self-shadowing • Technique requires geometry to be added to a model • Tessellation

  29. Tessellation • The big new addition to DirectX 11 • Triangles are added or removed based on how close the viewer is • Think like mip-mapping, but for models • Not like normal LOD where different models are used

  30. Video Example • http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-uavLefzDuQ

  31. Questions?

  32. To do this week… • Practical this week is on texturing • I need to tweak the one on WebCT a little • I know 3rd years have MAD CW due this week • Get it out of the way so you can move onto this one • I won’t be producing a practical on bump mapping • If interested, investigate yourself

  33. Summary • Adding details to a render is where current game technology is focused • Model complexity can’t go much further on current generation hardware • Various techniques allow us to modify a render to provide detail • Bump mapping, normal mapping, etc. • There is a cost, but usually less than adding geometry
