UUSL Textures

The Unified UNIGINE shader language (UUSL) unifies the way of using textures in shaders. You need to define the texture slot in the material, initialize the texture in the shader's code and then use it.

Here is an example of using texture in the vertex shader's code:

UUSL
// Include the UUSL header file
#include <core/shaders/common/common.h>

// Initialize a texture from the first texture slot.
// It's better to use "define" command
// to avoid whole code correction if you
// change the texture slot in the material
#define TEX_HEIGHT 1
INIT_TEXTURE(TEX_HEIGHT)

/* Input and output structures */

MAIN_BEGIN(VERTEX_OUT,VERTEX_IN)

	/* some code */

	// Set the texture
	float4 height = TEXTURE_BIAS_ZERO(TEX_HEIGHT,texcoord.xy);

	/* some code */
MAIN_END
Warning
You should add a new line (press Enter) after closing the instruction.
