Python Apps – New functions

CSP adds some new functions for Python apps, and here is the full list of them with argument names and return types. Each time function requires a vector argument, such as vec2, vec3 or vec4, you can pass either a corresponding amount of numbers directly, or pass them packed in a tuple.

Example shader for custom drawing

// Default AC texture samplers bound by default:

SamplerState samPoint : register(s2) {
  Filter = POINT;
  AddressU = WRAP;
  AddressV = WRAP;
};

SamplerState samLinear : register(s5) {
  Filter = LINEAR;
  AddressU = WRAP;
  AddressV = WRAP;
};

struct VS_IN {
  float4 PosH : SV_POSITION;
  float4 Color : COLOR;
  float2 Tex : TEXCOORD;
  float3 Tangent : TANGENT;
};

// Regular texture to draw:

Texture2D txDiffuse : register(t0);

// Actual code:

float4 main(VS_IN pin) : SV_TARGET {
  return 1 - txDiffuse.Sample(samLinear, pin.Tex); // simple inversion for an example
}
