Hi
How can we set default values for vec2 & vec3 in SparkSL?
I know it’s // @param[default=#6680FFFF] for colors and // @param[default=0.0] for numbers but what about vec2 and vec3?
its // @param[default=vec2(1.0, 1.0)] for vec2 and // @param[default=vec3(1.0, 1.0, 1.0)] for vec3
you can also make a slider with min and max values in shaders like this // @param[default=1.0, min=0.0, max=1.0]

Important note: don’t forget the decimal! We can’t use any int values in the inputs, and if you try something like vec2(1, 1), it will be ignored.

wait, so sparkSL doesn’t support ivec2, ivec3 or ivec4?
I don’t think so, but anyway it wouldn’t work in the shader arguments. For some reason the type support is poor. We can’t even send booleans!
what about pulses ? we can’t have pulse inputs?
The shader will run on every frame as long as it’s connected to a material or device output. If you want something like a pulse, you need to pass in a 1 or 0 and use that to affect your shader (e.g. with an if statement, or step).
