Detailed Description
A Parameter can be referenced by a RenderPass, Technique, Effect, Material, TechniqueFilter, RenderPassFilter. At runtime, depending on which shader is selected for a given step of the rendering, the value contained in a Parameter will be converted and uploaded if the shader contains a uniform with a name matching that of the Parameter.
Parameter {
name: "diffuseColor"
value: "blue"
}
// Works with the following GLSL uniform shader declarations
// uniform vec4 diffuseColor;
// uniform vec3 diffuseColor;
// uniform vec2 diffuseColor;
// uniform float diffuseColor;
Note: some care must be taken to ensure the value wrapped by a Parameter can actually be converted to what the real uniform expect. Giving a value stored as an int where the actual shader uniform is of type float could result in undefined behaviors.
Note: when the targeted uniform is an array, the name should be the name of the uniform with [0] appended to it.
Note: Parameter node can not be disabled.
Parameter {
name: "diffuseValues[0]"
value: [0.0, 1.0. 2.0, 3.0, 4.0, 883.0, 1340.0, 1584.0]
}
// Matching GLSL shader uniform declaration
// uniform float diffuseValues[8];
When it comes to texture support, the Parameter value should be set to the appropriate texture subclass that matches the sampler type of the shader uniform.
Parameter {
name: "diffuseTexture"
value: Texture2D { ... }
}
// Works with the following GLSL uniform shader declaration
// uniform sampler2D diffuseTexture
