I'm writing a 3D app for iOS. I'm new to OpenGL ES 2.0, so I'm still getting myself around writing basic shaders. I really need to implement a "Glow" effect on some of my models, based on the texturing.

Here's a sample:

Bloom/Glow from www.skillmanmedia.com/realbasic/bloomsnapshot.jpg.

I'm looking for code examples for OpenGL ES 2.0. Most code I find on the internet is either for desktop OpenGL or D3D.

Any ideas?

    Shader effects differ very little between opengl ES 2.0 and desktop opengl. If you find a good tutorial doing what you want, porting it should be trivial. – NickLH Nov 17 '11 at 12:39
  • Thanks for reassurance, that was another thing that was bothering me. Some (usually old) examples use input/output variables, which I can't seem to find in ES documentation. I'll keep digging, but any good examples are usually a leap in my research and understanding of how to use GLSL. – st4wik Nov 17 '11 at 15:48
  • Has anyone got any Android code for this? – Burf2000 Apr 26 '13 at 13:53
  • There is a clever implementation of this in the (admittedly outdated) O'Reilly book "iPhone 3D Programming": http://shop.oreilly.com/product/9780596804831.do – Nicolas Miari Jan 26 '17 at 01:23
  • @MateuszStawecki Are you implemented glow effects finally? – ooOlly Mar 10 '17 at 05:36
  • How about drawing a texture for the glow effect and then shading it, just like in http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2771408/opengl-es-2-0-rendering-with-a-texture? – michaeak Mar 29 '17 at 20:11
  • If you are using iOS 7+ and at least the iPhone 5s you can use OpenGL ES 3.0 which has a LOT more support than 2.0 – FrickeFresh May 04 '17 at 03:28

First of all there are tons of algorithms and techniques to generate a glow effect. I just want to present one possibility.

Create a Material that is luminescent. For this I use a modified Blinn-Phong light model, where the direction to the light source is always the inverse direction of the normal vector of the fragment.

varying vec3 vertPos;
varying vec3 vertNV;
varying vec3 vertCol;

uniform float u_glow;

void main()
{
    vec3 color = vertCol;

    float shininess = 10.0;
    vec3  normalV = normalize( vertNV );
    vec3  eyeV    = normalize( -vertPos );
    vec3  halfV   = normalize( eyeV + normalV );
    float NdotH   = max( 0.0, dot( normalV, halfV ) );
    float glowFac = ( shininess + 2.0 ) * pow( NdotH, shininess ) / ( 2.0 * 3.14159265 );

    gl_FragColor = vec4( u_glow * (0.1 + color.rgb * glowFac * 0.5), 1.0 );
}

In a second step a gaussian blur algorithm is performed on the output. The scene is written to frame buffer with a texture bound to the color plane. A screen space pass uses the texture as the input to blur the output.
For performance reasons, the blur algorithm is first performed along the X-axis of the viewport and in a further step along the Y-axis of the viewport.

varying vec2 vertPos;
uniform sampler2D u_textureCol;
uniform vec2 u_textureSize;
uniform float u_sigma;
uniform int u_width;

float CalcGauss( float x, float sigma ) 
{
  float coeff = 1.0 / (2.0 * 3.14157 * sigma);
  float expon = -(x*x) / (2.0 * sigma);
  return (coeff*exp(expon));
}

void main()
{
    vec2 texC = vertPos.st * 0.5 + 0.5;
    vec4 texCol = texture( u_textureCol, texC );
    vec4 gaussCol = vec4( texCol.rgb, 1.0 );
    vec2 step = 1.0 / u_textureSize;
    for ( int i = 1; i <= u_width; ++ i )
    {
        vec2 actStep = vec2( float(i) * step.x, 0.0 );   // this is for the X-axis
        // vec2 actStep = vec2( 0.0, float(i) * step.y );   this would be for the Y-axis

        float weight = CalcGauss( float(i) / float(u_width), u_sigma );
        texCol = texture2D( u_textureCol, texC + actStep );    
        gaussCol += vec4( texCol.rgb * weight, weight );
        texCol = texture2D( u_textureCol, texC - actStep );
        gaussCol += vec4( texCol.rgb * weight, weight );
    }
    gaussCol.rgb /= gaussCol.w;
    gl_FragColor = vec4( gaussCol.rgb, 1.0 );
}

For the implementation of a blur algorithm see also the answer to the questions:

See the following similar WebGL example which puts all together:

var readInput = true;
function changeEventHandler(event){
    readInput = true;
}
  
(function loadscene() {
  
  var resize, gl, progDraw, progBlurX, progPost, vp_size, blurFB;
  var bufCube = {};
  var bufQuad = {};
  var shininess = 10.0;
  var glow = 10.0;
  var sigma = 0.8;
  
  function render(delteMS){

      //if ( readInput ) {
          readInput = false;
          var sliderScale = 100;
          shininess = document.getElementById( "shine" ).value;
          glow      = document.getElementById( "glow" ).value / sliderScale;
          sigma     = document.getElementById( "sigma" ).value / sliderScale;
      //}

  • thanks for the great answer, but why this line 'vertPos = pos.xyz / pos.w;' in the vertex shader?. is it necessary to divide by w here. I thought the w is always 1 at this stage. – wdanxna Dec 05 '17 at 02:25
  • @wdanxna No in this case it is not necessary. – Rabbid76 Dec 05 '17 at 05:26
  • @Rabbid76 the first shader in your code , is it code for fragment shader. – Summit Sep 10 '20 at 11:25

    @Summit There was a typo `fragColor` has to be `gl_FragColor`. The code in the example at the bottom of the answer is correct. – Rabbid76 Sep 10 '20 at 11:27

The website GLSL Sandbox has a collection of shader examples. This one has the glow and appears to be able to compile for ES.

You should be able to modify these to pull uv's from your texture.

Here is some code directly from this site:

#ifdef GL_ES
precision mediump float;
#endif

#extension GL_OES_standard_derivatives : enable

uniform float time;
uniform vec2 mouse;
uniform vec2 resolution;

void main(void){

    vec2 p = (gl_FragCoord.xy * 2.0 - resolution) / min(resolution.x, resolution.y);
    vec3 color1 = vec3(0.0, 0.3, 0.5);
    vec3 color2 = vec3(0.5, 0.0, 0.3);

    float f = 0.0;
    float g = 0.0;
    float h = 0.0;
    float PI = 3.14159265;
    for(float i = 0.0; i < 40.0; i++){
        if (floor(mouse.x * 41.0) < i)
            break;
        float s = sin(time + i * PI / 20.0) * 0.8;
        float c = cos(time + i * PI / 20.0) * 0.8;
        float d = abs(p.x + c);
        float e = abs(p.y + s);
        f += 0.001 / d;
        g += 0.001 / e;
        h += 0.00003 / (d * e);
    }


    gl_FragColor = vec4(f * color1 + g * color2 + vec3(h), 1.0);
}
