Rainbow Six Extraction Operator Montagne.

Gilles "Montagne" Touré (pronounced "Mon-tah-niuhh" [mɔ̃.taɲ]) is an Attacking Operator featured in Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Siege.

Touré began his career in law enforcement as a uniformed police officer with the National Gendarmerie. They used his imposing form whenever there was a need to show a strong police presence, earning him a spot in the Mobile Gendarmerie where the focus was on crowd control as well as military and counter-terrorism patrol missions. Touré’s push for extensive training provided him with a broad skillset and earned him a position in the GIGN. Though he’s best utilized for his breaching techniques, Touré also has training in combat engineering and reconnaissance. When not deployed with Rainbow, Touré is an instructor at GIGN.

Shadertoy: iChannel texture - 003.

In the last tutorial I add a sphere distortion and sphere distortion with movement.

Today I use iChannel2 ro get input from keyboard and use this input to move with an offset.

The source code is not perfect because I used multiple areas with texture and I add keyboard offset.

This can be solve easy if I use a buffer.

The main goal of this tutorial is to see how you can use keyboard with iChannel input.

Shadertoy: iChannel texture - 002.

In the last example I created a surface with a texture by channel inputs.

Now, I add a sphere distortion and sphere distortion with movement.

This is the source code I used:

#define PI 3.1415926

void mainImage( out vec4 fragColor, in vec2 fragCoord )
{
    vec2 uv = fragCoord.xy / iResolution.xy;
    // get poins 
    vec2 p = (2.0 * fragCoord - iResolution.xy) / iResolution.y;
    // set surface formula
    vec3 v = vec3(p.x, p.y, sqrt(1.0 - p.x * p.x - p.y * p.y));
    // create normals 
    vec3 n = normalize(v);
    
    // https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Distortion_(optics)
    vec2 sphere_distortion = vec2(atan(n.z, n.x) / PI,0.00000001 * p.y);

    vec4 color = vec4(0.0,0.0,0.0,0.0);
    
    if (uv.x > 0.0 && uv.x < 0.5)
    {
   		//color = texture(iChannel0, vec2(1.0 - (uv.x/0.5),uv.y/0.5)+ sphere_distortion);
        // with movement iTime
        color = texture(iChannel0, vec2(1.0 * iTime- (uv.x/0.5),uv.y/0.5)+ sphere_distortion);
    } 
    else if (uv.x > 0.5 && uv.x < 1.0) 
    { 
        //color = texture(iChannel1, vec2((uv.x/0.5),uv.y)+ sphere_distortion);
        // with movement iTime
        color = texture(iChannel0, vec2(iTime-(uv.x/0.5),uv.y)+ sphere_distortion);
        
    } 
	fragColor = color;
}

Ubisoft and climate.

I don't know exactly how much they will solve in the future climate, but it is a nice gesture from the Ubisoft team to make people give up excessive energy consumption. Finally, a break and a reflection can be worth a lot in a few years ...

Take a break and you will be satisfied that you are not destroying your future with a disastrous climate.

Shadertoy: iChannel texture - 001.

In this example with shadertoy online tool I will show you how to map a texture from iChannel texture input and UV areas.

 void mainImage( out vec4 fragColor, in vec2 fragCoord )
{
vec2 uv = fragCoord.xy / iResolution.xy;
    
   vec4 color = vec4(0.0,0.0,0.0,0.0);
    
    if (uv.x > 0.0 && uv.x < 0.5)
    {
   		color = texture(iChannel0, vec2(1.0 - (uv.x/0.5), uv.y/0.5));
    } 
    else if (uv.x > 0.5 && uv.x < 1.0) 
    { 
        color = texture(iChannel1, vec2(1.0 - (uv.x/0.5), uv.y));
    } 
	fragColor = color;
}
