UUSL Data Types and Common Intrinsic Functions

This documentation article contains information about data types, functions, pre-defined variables and other features of the UUSL. This information can be used as the reference document for writing shaders.

To start using UUSL functions, include the core/shaders/common/common.h file.

UUSL
#include <core/shaders/common/common.h>

For fragment shader functions, use the core/shaders/common/fragment.h file.

Main Function

Void Main Function

To start and end the void Main function of the fragment shader (when you don't need to provide the output color value but depth), use the following instructions:

UUSL
MAIN_VOID_BEGIN(STRUCT_IN)
	<your code here>
MAIN_VOID_END
Warning
You should add a new line (press Enter) after closing the instruction.

This code is equivalent to:

OpenGL
void main() {
	<your code here>
}
Direct3D
void main(STRUCT_IN IN) {
	<your code here>
}

Main Function with Return Value

To start and end the Main function with return value, use the following instructions:

UUSL
MAIN_BEGIN(STRUCT_IN,STRUCT_OUT)
	<your code here>
MAIN_END
Warning
You should add a new line (press Enter) after closing the instruction.

This code is equivalent to:

OpenGL
void main() {
	<your code here>
}
Direct3D
STRUCT_OUT main(STRUCT_IN IN) { 
	STRUCT_OUT OUT;
	<your code here>
return OUT; }

Geometry Shader Main Function

To start and end the Main function of the geometry shader, use the following instructions:

UUSL
MAIN_GEOM_BEGIN(STRUCT_OUT,STRUCT_IN)
	<your code here>
END_GEOM
Warning
You should add a new line (press Enter) after closing the instruction.

This code is equivalent to:

OpenGL
layout(TYPE_GEOM_IN) in;
layout(TYPE_GEOM_OUT,max_vertices = MAX_VERTICES_GEOM) out;
void main() {
	<your code here>
}
Direct3D
[maxvertexcount(MAX_VERTICES_GEOM)]
void main(TYPE_GEOM_IN STRUCT_IN IN[COUNT_GEOM_IN],inout TYPE_GEOM_OUT<STRUCT_OUT> stream) {
	STRUCT_OUT OUT;
	<your code here>
}

Static Variables and Arrays

Static Variables

To define a static variable, use the following syntax:

UUSL
STATICVAR <your var>

This is equal to the following GLSL and HLSL commands:

OpenGL
const <your var>
Direct3D
static const <your var>

Static Arrays

To work with static arrays by using UUSL, use the following instructions:

UUSL
STATICARRAY(TYPE,NAME,SIZE)
	<your array members>
ENDARRAY
Warning
You should add a new line (press Enter) after closing the instruction.
  • TYPE - the type of the array (float, etc.).
  • NAME - the name of the array.
  • SIZE - the size of the array.

This code block is equivalent to:

OpenGL
TYPE NAME [SIZE] = TYPE[](<your array members>);
Direct3D
static const TYPE NAME [SIZE] = {<your array members>};

Blending Presets

UUSL contains blending presets. When you specify the type of blending in material, the USSL wrapper automatically defines a new definition, that you can use in your shader:

Blending typeUUSL
BLEND_SRC_FUNC_SRC_ALPHA && BLEND_DEST_FUNC_ONE_MINUS_SRC_ALPHABLEND_ALPHABLEND
BLEND_SRC_FUNC_ONE && BLEND_DEST_FUNC_ONEBLEND_ADDITIVE
BLEND_SRC_FUNC_DEST_COLOR && BLEND_DEST_FUNC_ZEROBLEND_MULTIPLICATIVE
BLEND_SRC_FUNC_NONE && BLEND_DEST_FUNC_NONEBLEND_NONE

HLSL features

HLSL Flow Control Attributes

UUSLOpenGLDirect3DDescription
branch-[branch]Performs branching using control flow instructions.
call-[call]Prevents inlining of a function.
flatten-[flatten]Performs branching using conditional move instructions.
ifAll-[ifAll]Executes the conditional part of an if statement when the condition is true for all threads on which the current shader is running.
ifAny-[ifAny]Executes the conditional part of an if statement when the condition is true for any thread on which the current shader is running.
isolate-[isolate]Optimizes the specified HLSL code independently of the surrounding code.
loop-[loop]Gives preference to flow control constructs.
maxexports-[maxexports]Specifies the maximum number of export instructions that will execute along any path from the entry point to an exit.
maxInstructionCount-[maxInstructionCount]Sets the maximum number of instructions available to a shader.
maxtempreg-[maxtempreg]Restricts temporary register usage to the number of registers specified. Generates a compiler error if unsuccessful.
noExpressionOptimizations-[noExpressionOptimizations]Avoids optimization of expressions.
predicate-[predicate]Performs branching by using predication.
predicateBlock-[predicateBlock]Performs branching by using predicated exec blocks.
reduceTempRegUsage-[reduceTempRegUsage]Restricts temporary register usage to the number of registers specified. Generates a compiler warning if unsuccessful.
removeUnusedInputs-[removeUnusedInputs]Removes unused interpolator inputs from pixel shaders.
sampreg-[sampreg]Sets the ranges of pixel sampler and vertex sampler registers used by the compiler.
unroll-[unroll]Avoids flow control constructs.
unused-[unused]Suppresses warnings about unused shader parameters.
xps-[xps]Specifies that all vertex fetch operations are done after the last vfetch instruction. This instruction is used to reduce the latency back to the command processor to free the vertex buffer.
earlydepthstencil-[earlydepthstencil]Forces depth-stencil testing before a shader executes. Doesn't work with custom depth.

Interpolation Modifiers

UUSLOpenGLDirect3DDescription
MODIFER_LINEAR-linearInterpolate between shader inputs; linear is the default value if no interpolation modifier is specified.
MODIFER_CENTROID-centroidInterpolate between samples that are somewhere within the covered area of the pixel (this may require extrapolating end points from a pixel center). Centroid sampling may improve antialiasing if a pixel is partially covered (even if the pixel center is not covered). The centroid modifier must be combined with either the linear or noperspective modifier.
MODIFER_NOINTERPOLATION-nointerpolationDo not interpolate.
MODIFER_NOPERSPECTIVE-noperspectiveDo not perform perspective-correction during interpolation. The noperspective modifier can be combined with the centroid modifier.
MODIFER_SAMPLE-sampleInterpolate at sample location rather than at the pixel center. This causes the pixel shader to execute per-sample rather than per-pixel.

See also the article on Interpolation Modifiers.

Constants and Structs

In USSL structures is the way to organize the bunch of input and output data.

To start using structures in your shader code, use the following instructions:

UUSL
STRUCT(NAME)
	<your data>
END
Warning
You should add a new line (press Enter) after closing the instruction.
  • NAME - the name of the struct.

Here is an example of vertex shader input structure:

UUSL
// Input vertex data
STRUCT(VERTEX_IN)
	INIT_ATTRIBUTE(float4,0,POSITION)	// Vertex position
	INIT_ATTRIBUTE(float4,1,TEXCOORD0)	// Vertex texcoord (uv)
	INIT_ATTRIBUTE(float4,2,TEXCOORD1)	// Vertex basis tangent
	INIT_ATTRIBUTE(float4,3,TEXCOORD2)	// Vertex color
END
Warning
You should add a new line (press Enter) after closing the instruction.

After that, you should pass the VERTEX_IN structure to the main function of the vertex shader.

For using constant buffer in your shader code, use the following instructions:

UUSL
CBUFFER(NAME)
	<your data>
END
Warning
You should add a new line (press Enter) after closing the instruction.
  • NAME - the name of the cbuffer.

Here is an example of using constant buffer:

UUSL
CBUFFER(parameters)
	UNIFORM float grayscale_power;
END
Warning
You should add a new line (press Enter) after closing the instruction.

If you defined this parameter in the material, you'll be able to specify this value.

See Also

  • How we use CBUFFER instruction in the tutorial on shaders for post-process pass.

Shader Export

To export shader, use the following command:

UUSL
EXPORT_SHADER(FILE)
  • FILE - The name of the file.

This command exports the shader program into a file: for Direct3D the file will have an .hlsl extension, for OpenGL the file will have an .glsl extension.

The command expands all of the predefined UUSL syntax and creates shader files in native languages for both graphic APIs.
