Unsolved Are the variable names "mvp",“modelMatrix”,“modelNormalMatrix" reserved words?
-
when I run the example of advancedcustommaterial ,I can find the "mvp" word in water.vert es2 shaders file,but I cann't find this word in any other( .qml) files in this project .I wonder how the qml set the value of "mvp" .Is the variable names "mvp" a reserved word in qml? How can I get the Reference documents about this?(version,Qt 5.11.0 64bit ,Qt Creator 4.6.1 )

Hi and welcome to devnet,
No they are not, if we take
mvp
, you can find the declaration as:uniform mat4 mvp
.From the khronos documentation:
A uniform is a global Shader variable declared with the "uniform" storage qualifier. These act as parameters that the user of a shader program can pass to that program. Their values are stored in a program object. Uniforms are so named because they do not change from one shader invocation to the next within a particular rendering call. This makes them unlike shader stage inputs and outputs, which are often different for each invocation of a shader stage.
For more details, see the definition of a uniform in GLSL.
