Implementing depth testing for semi-transparent objects

问题


I've been carefully trolling the internet for the past two days to understand depth testing for semi-transparent objects. I've read multiple papers/tutorials on the subject and in theory I believe I understand how it works. However none of them give me actual example code.

I have three requirements for my depth testing of semi-transparent objects:

  1. It should be order independant.

  2. It should work if two quads of the same objects are intersection each other. Both semi-transparent. Imagine a grass object that looks like a X when viewed from above:

  1. It should correctly render a semi-transparent player rgba(0, 1, 0, 0.5), behind a building's window rgba(0, 0, 1, 0.5), but in front of a background object rgba(1, 0, 0, 1):

The line on the far left is how I imagine the light/color changes as it travels through the semi-transparent objects towards the camera

Final Thoughts

I suspect the best approach to go for is to do depth peeling, but I'm still lacking some implementation/example. I'm leaning towards this approach because the game is 2.5D and since it could get dangerous for performance (lots of layers to peel), there won't need to be more than two semi-transparent objects to "peel".

I'm already familiar with framebuffers and how to code them (doing some post processing effects with them). I will be using them, right?

Most of the knowledge of opengl comes from this tutorial but it covers depth testing and semi-transparency separately. He also sadly doesn't cover order independent transparency at all (see bottom of Blending page).

Finally, please don't answer only in theory. e.g.

Draw opaque, draw transparent, draw opaque again, etc.

My ideal answer will contain code of how the buffers are configured, the shaders, and screenshots of each pass with an explanation of what its doing.

The programming language used is also not too important as long as it uses OpenGL 4 or newer. The non-opengl code can be pseudo (I don't care how you sort an array or create an GLFW window).

EDIT:

I'm updating my question to just have so example of the current state of my code. This example draws the semi-transparent player (green) first, opaque background (red) second and then the semi-transparent window (blue). However the depth should be calculated by the Z position of the square and not the order of which it is drawn.

Some things to note:

  • It's using WebGL2 but it should be possible in WebGL1, you'd have to change the shaders to use GLSL ES 1.0.
  • It's using floating point textures. The paper mentions you can use half float textures as well. Note that rendering to both half and float textures is an optional feature in even WebGL2. I believe most mobile hardware can render to half but not to float.
  • It's using weight equation 10 from the paper. There are 4 weight equations in the paper. 7, 8, 9, and 10. To do 7, 8, or 9 you'd need to pass in view space z from the vertex shader to the fragment shader
  • It's switching the order of drawing every second

The code is pretty straight forward.

It creates 3 shaders. One to draw a checkerboard just so we have something that is opaque to see the transparent stuff drawn above. One is the transparent object shader. The last is the shader the composites the transparent stuff into the scene.

Next it makes 2 textures, a floating point RGBA32F texture and a floating point R32F texture (red channel only). It attaches those to a framebuffer. (that is all done in the 1 function, twgl.createFramebufferInfo. That function makes the textures the same size as the canvas by default.

We make a single quad that goes from -1 to +1

We use that quad to draw the checkerboard into the canvas

Then we turn on blending, setup the blend equations as the paper said, switch to rendering onto our framebuffer, clear that framebuffer. note, it's cleared to 0,0,0,1 and 1 respectively. This is the version where we don't have separate blend functions per draw buffer. If you switch to the version that can use separate blending functions per draw buffer then you need to clear to different values and use a different shader (See paper)

Using our transparency shader we that same quad to draw 6 rectangles each of a solid color. I just used a solid color to keep it simple. Each is at a different Z and the Zs change every second just to see the results Z changing.

In the shader Ci is the input color. It's expected to be a premultiplied alpha color according to the paper. fragData[0]is the "accumulate" texture andfragData[1]is the "revealage" texture and is only one channel, red. Thew` function represents the equation 10 from the paper.

After all 6 quads are drawn we switch back to rendering to the canvas and use the compositing shader to composite the transparency result with the non-transparent canvas contents.

Here's an example with some geometry. Differences:

  • It's using equations (7) from the paper instead of (10)
  • In order to do correct zbuffering the depth buffer needs to be shared when doing opaque and transparent rendering. So there are 2 frames buffers. One buffer has RGBA8 + depth, the other is RGBA32F + R32F + depth. The depth buffer is shared.
  • The transparent renderer computes simple lighting and then uses the result as the Ci value from the paper
  • After compositing the transparent into the opaque we still need to copy the opaque into the canvas to see the result

It occurs to me rather than use standard OpenGL blending for the last 2 steps (composite followed by blit) we could change the composite shader so it takes 3 textures (ATexutre, BTexture, opaqueTexture) and blends in the shader outputting directly to the canvas. That would be faster.

回答2:


I have three requirements for my depth testing of semi-transparent objects

It's actually quite rare to have self-intersecting objects with partially transparent (actually blended) samples. The common cases for self-intersecting geometry is grass and leaves. However, in these cases the actual areas covered by grass and leaves are not transparent - they are opaque.

The common solution here is alpha testing. Render the leaves as an opaque (not blended) quad (with a normal depth test and write), and discard fragments which have insufficient alpha (e.g. because they are outside of the leaf). Because individual samples here are opaque, then you get order independence for free because the depth test works as you would expect for an opaque object.

If you want blended edges, then enable alpha-to-coverage and let the multi-sample resolve clean up the edges a little.

For the small amount of actually transparent stuff you have left, then normally you need to a back-to-front sort on the CPU, and render it after the opaque pass.

Proper OIT is possible, but is is generally quite an expensive technique, so I've yet to see anyone actually use it outside of an academic environment (at least on mobile OpenGL ES implementations).
