Writing VEX normal map - What's wrong?

[JonathanGranskg]

Hey, I'm getting a syntax error.

"...:16:24: Error 1088: Syntax error, unexpected identifier, expecting ´}´."

 

The error is on the line where I create the matrix and it gives me this error when I try to grab a component of a vector and put it in the matrix. What I want is in the comment. If I replace "Vt.x" with 1 it compiles perfectly.

 

Here's the code:

 

#pragma hint map image
#pragma label map "Normal Map"
#pragma label amp "Amplitude"

surface normalMapTest(float amp = 0.1; string map = "";){
    
    vector Nn = normalize(N);
    vector tex, newN;
    
    // normal map
    if (map != ""){
        tex = texture(map)*2 - {1,1,1};
        vector Vs = normalize((dPds * Dv(t)) - (dPdt * Du(t)));
        vector Vt = normalize(cross(Nn, Vs));
        Vs = normalize(cross(Vt, Nn));
        matrix m = { {Vt.x,0,0}, {0,1,0}, {0,0,1} }; //{{Vt.x, Vt.y, Vt.z}, {Vs.x, Vs.y, Vs.z}, {Nn.x, Nn.y, Nn.z}};
        newN = normalize(tex * m);
    } else {
        newN = Nn;
    }

    F = diffuse(newN);
}

 

Oh and if you see any other errors, please tell me. I wanted to do this as an exercise in VEX Shader Writing.

 

Cheers,

Jonathan

use set():

matrix3 m = set(Vt.x, Vt.y, Vt.z, 
                Vs.x, Vs.y, Vs.z, 
                Nn.x, Nn.y, Nn.z);

Yep, it worked. Thanks for the quick answer!

I'm not 100% sure what you're doing with the matrix (Haven't used a matrix for normal maps yet).

But be sure to change the Normal in object space. N is in camera space.
