setUniform4f

setUniform4f(name, fx,fy,fz, fw)

Used to pass four float values from the main program to the vertex or fragment program.

Type:  string
fx:
Type:  float
fy:
Type:  float
fz:
Type:  float
fw:
Type:  float

Sample Code

# define the main part of the program
def main():

# get the current scene
scene = GameLogic.getCurrentScene()

# get a list of the objects in the scene
objList = scene.objects
 
# Get the object you want to use
obj =  objList['OBCube']
 
# Only one mesh on Cube
mesh = obj.meshes[0]
 
# only one material on mesh
mat = mesh.materials[0]
 
# Using Blender GLSL Materials or Blender Multitexture Materials?
if hasattr( mat, 'getMaterialIndex') == True: 
     
#Get shader envelope
shader = mat.getShader()
     
# shader envelope created?
if shader != None:
     
# set the shader
shader.setSource(VertexShader, FragmentShader, True)
 
# pass vec4 float variable to shader
shader.setUniform4f("RedGreenBlueAlpha", 0.0, 1.0, 0.0, 1.0)

Game developers can use the game engine to create casual video games, first and third person shooters, role playing games, racing simulations and more. The game engine can be used to make both 2D games and 3D games.  Beginning game developers will only need basic knowledge of game design and programming to create rich and complex game models with photo realistic textures to add detail to the graphics of the video game.  Today's games need more than good looking low polygon game models.  Use normal maps and photo realistic textures to create high quality game models.
