AGAL

hey there!

is it possible to directly integrate agal code somehow when deploying to flash?

on the other hand we could have a flash based loader and load our unity compiled package and modify the shaders from the outside.

any ideas?

greetings,

I'm only guessing, but I think that's out of Unity's flash-integration scope. As I understand it, however, you can write pretty low level shaders in Unity itself, have you looked into it?

 

hey mtoivo!

not really if you mean anything besides the regular shaders with vertex/fragment/surface shaders?
as far as i understand by now, this does not apply directly for the agal compilation?

what i am trying to achieve now is transferring e.g. a car paint shader to agal, as the regular compilation delivers unwanted results. even "simpler" shaders, like e.g. reflective specular do not work well, though i saw better results here and there for stage3d/agal.

 

but i found this, which is supposed to be shaderlab for agal:

it runs horrible on my retina mac book, but on a regular graphics card (mac pro) quite well:

i have found additional stuff on github, too. maybe you know it already:

It is not possible to use AGAL shaders within Unity for Flash Export (or AGAL shaders with Unity at all).
Please submit faulty shaders / shader translation as a bug so we can look at the issue.
