Ventuz Forum

Hi to all,
I'm trying to do some porting from GLSL shaders to HLSL in Ventuz. One problem I have is: how can I know my eyeposition (camera position) into the shader code?
For example, even to compute specular lighting effect, I need the eye position to calculate the specular reflection..

I can't find the right constant for "eyeposition" in the documentation:

Anyone can help?
Thank you!

Method 1: Use viewspace to compute lighting. This would probably make your program run faster as well.

Method 2: The hard way. Getting Camera position through view matrix. Check out this post on SO.

Hope this helps.

Oh, and you can always pass your camera position in world space as uniform variables if everythings else fails.

Or take a look at the glm::lookAt() function and implement it directly in your shader. This would even save you a camera node.
