Predefined Variables

RenderMonkey provides a set of predefined variables for added shader development
convenience. Such variables will display an appropriate tool tip (Predefined Variable) if
the mouse hovers over them. Predefined variables are shader constants whose values get
filled in at run-time by the viewer module directly at every frame. You cannot modify the
values directly through the same user interface that you can use to edit other variables of
similar types. A properly flagged predefined variable will be denoted in the workspace
tree view with a symbol over the nodes icon. For example:
RenderMonkey provides this set of predefined variables for your convenience:

Time

"Time0_X"
Provides a floating point time value (in seconds) which repeats itself based on the
“Cycle time” set in the RenderMonkey Preferences dialog. By default this “Cycle
time” is set to 120 seconds. This means that the value of this variable cycles from
0 to 120 in 120 seconds and then goes back to 0 again.
"CosTime0_X"
This variable will provide the cosine of Time0_X.
"SinTime0_X"
This variable will provide the sine of Time0_X.
"TanTime0_X"
This variable will provide the tangent of Time0_X.
"Time0_X_Packed"
This variable will pack the above xxxTime0_X variables into a 4 component
floating point vector.
Example: float4(Time0_X,CosTime0_X,SinTime0_X,TanTime0_X).
"Time0_1"
This variable provides a scaled floating point time value [0..1] which repeats itself
based on the “Cycle time” set in the RenderMonkey Preferences dialog. By
default this “Cycle time” is set to 120 seconds. This means that the value of this
variable cycles from 0 to 1 in 120 seconds and then goes back to 0 again.
"CosTime0_1"
This variable will provide the cosine of Time0_1.
"SinTime0_1"
This variable will provide the sine of Time0_1.
"TanTime0_1"
This variable will provide the tangent of Time0_1.
"Time0_1_Packed"
This variable will pack the above xxxTime0_1 variables into a 4 component
floating point vector.
Example: float4(Time0_1,CosTime0_1,SinTime0_1,TanTime0_1).
"Time0_2PI"
This variable provides a scaled floating point time value [0..2PI] which repeats
itself based on the “Cycle time” set in the RenderMonkey Preferences dialog. By
default this “Cycle time” is set to 120 seconds. This means that the value of this
variable cycles from 0 to 2PI in 120 seconds and then goes back to 0 again.
"CosTime0_2PI"
This variable will provide the cosine of Time0_2PI.
"SinTime0_2PI"
This variable will provide the sine of Time0_2PI.
"TanTime0_2PI"
This variable will provide the tangent of Time0_2PI .

floating point vector.
Example: float4(Time0_2PI,CosTime0_2PI,SinTime0_2PI,TanTime0_2PI).
"TimeCyclePeriod"
This variable provides the “Cycle time” floating point value, as set in the
RenderMonkey Preferences dialog. By default this “Cycle time” is set to 120
seconds.
"FPS"
This variable provides the calculated frames per second, returned as a floating
point value.
"TimeElapsed"
This variable provides the elapsed time (in seconds) from the last frame to the
current frame, returned as a floating point value.

Each of these variables provide a random floating point value in the range of
[0..1]. These values are updated each effect.

"LeftMouseButton"
This variable will return a floating point value of 1.0 if the left mouse button is
currently pressed, or 0.0 if it is not currently pressed.

support implementation of a scene graph, we have decided to keep the world
matrix as identity, but provide this predefined variable for your development
convenience. The user may apply this variable in their shader and when imported
into their engine, they may provide appropriate value of the world view projection
matrix through the engine’s calculations.
"WorldView"
"WorldViewTranspose"
"WorldViewInverse"
"WorldViewInverseTranspose"
These 4x4 matrix variables provide the world * view matrix, its transpose, its
inverse, and the inverse transpose.
"WorldViewProjection"
"WorldViewProjectionTranspose"
"WorldViewProjectionInverse"
"WorldViewProjectionInverseTranspose"
These 4x4 matrix variables provide the World * View * Projection matrix, its
transpose, its inverse, and the inverse transpose.

Customizing Predefined Variable Names

All predefined variable names are customizable through editing the
“.\UserData\RmPredefinedVariabled.txt” file. The data file is organized into four
columns. The first column contains the name that the variable will be created with by
default. This column is editable by the user. No other column data should be modified.
 The second column specifies the variable type; the third column specifies the rendering
update frequency, and the fourth column species the predefined variable semantic. When
items in the first column have been modified, RenderMonkey should be restarted for the
changes to take effect.
