GLSL中运用整数型易变变量

 

Using Integer Varying Variables in GLSL

 

    We now can transfer varying variables between vertex shader and fragment shader in GLSL via 'GL_EXT_gpu_shader4' extension. But there's one thing important should be noticed: integer or unsigned integer(including according vectors and matrix) varying vaiables cannot be interpolated .

    If we declare an integer varying variable like this:

 

varying uvec4 polygonID;

 

    We will get a shader program link error.

 

    So we should add a prefix 'flat' before to tell the shader do not interpolate them:

flat varying uvec4 polygonID;

 

    We all know that we can use glShadeModel() to determine the flat color shade or smooth
