粒子着色器

Particle shaders are a special type of shader that runs before the object is drawn. They are used for calculating material properties such as color, position, and rotation. They can be drawn with any regular material for CanvasItem or Spatial, depending on whether they are 2D or 3D.

Particle shaders are unique because they are not used to draw the object itself; they are used to calculate particle properties, which are then used by a CanvasItem or Spatial shader. They contain two processor functions: start() and process().

Unlike other shader types, particle shaders keep the data that was output the previous frame. Therefore, particle shaders can be used for complex effects that take place over multiple frames.

备注

Particle shaders are only available with GPU-based particle nodes (GPUParticles2D and GPUParticles3D).

CPU-based particle nodes (CPUParticles2D and CPUParticles3D) are rendered on the GPU (which means they can use custom CanvasItem or Spatial shaders), but their motion is simulated on the CPU.

渲染模式

渲染模式	描述
keep_data	不要在重启时清除以前的数据.
disable_force	Disable attractor force.
disable_velocity	Ignore `VELOCITY` value.
collision_use_scale	为进行碰撞而缩放粒子的大小。

内置

Values marked as in are read-only. Values marked as out can optionally be written to and will not necessarily contain sensible values. Values marked as inout provide a sensible default value, and can optionally be written to. Samplers cannot be written to so they are not marked.

全局内置

全局的内置在所有地方均可用，包括自定义函数中。

内置	描述
in float TIME	Global time since the engine has started, in seconds. It repeats after every `3,600` seconds (which can be changed with the rollover setting). It's affected by time_scale but not by pausing. If you need a `TIME` variable that is not affected by time scale, add your own global shader uniform and update it each frame.
in float PI	A `PI` constant (`3.141592`). The ratio of a circle's circumference to its diameter and the number of radians in a half turn.
in float TAU	A `TAU` constant (`6.283185`). Equivalent to `PI * 2` and the number of radians in a full turn.
in float E	An `E` constant (`2.718281`). Euler's number, the base of the natural logarithm.

Start 和 Process 内置

These properties can be accessed from both the start() and process() functions.

备注

In order to use the COLOR variable in a StandardMaterial3D, set vertex_color_use_as_albedo to true. In a ShaderMaterial, access it with the COLOR variable.

Process 函数

emit_subparticle() is currently the only custom function supported by particle shaders. It allows users to add a new particle with specified parameters from a sub-emitter. The newly created particle will only use the properties that match the flags parameter. For example, the following code will emit a particle with a specified position, velocity, and color, but unspecified rotation, scale, and custom value:

mat4 custom_transform = mat4(1.0);
custom_transform[3].xyz = vec3(10.5, 0.0, 4.0);
emit_subparticle(custom_transform, vec3(1.0, 0.5, 1.0), vec4(1.0, 0.0, 0.0, 1.0), vec4(1.0), FLAG_EMIT_POSITION | FLAG_EMIT_VELOCITY | FLAG_EMIT_COLOR);

函数	描述
bool emit_subparticle (mat4 xform, vec3 velocity, vec4 color, vec4 custom, uint flags)	Emits a particle from a sub-emitter.
