uniform sampler2D sampler0;
uniform vec2 tc_offset[9];
void blur()
{
  vec4 sample[9];
  for(int i = 0; i < 9; ++i)
    sample[i] = texture2D(sampler0, gl_TexCoord[0].st + tc_offset[i]);

  gl_FragColor = (sample[0] + (2.0 * sample[1]) + sample[2] +
      (2.0 * sample[3]) + sample[4] + 2.0 * sample[5] +
      sample[6] + 2.0 * sample[7] + sample[8] ) / 13.0;
}

How does the sample[i] = texture2D(sample0, ...) line work?

It seems like to blur an image, I have to first generate the image, yet here, I'm somehow trying to query the very iamge I'm generating. How does this work?

I'm playing with custom fragment shaders for a CCSprite (see http://www.raywenderlich.com/4428/how-to-mask-a-sprite-with-cocos2d-2-0). But I can't figure out why I get a white color whith the following line: gl_FragColor = vec4(1.0,1.0,1.0,0.0); Whereas I have a transparent color with this: gl_FragColor… >>> More

I'm trying to use the unscaled (true distance from the front clipping plane) distance to objects in my scene in a GLSL fragment shader. The gl_FragCoord.z value is smaller than I expect. In my vertex shader, I just use ftransform() to set gl_Position. I'm seeing values between 2 and 3 when I expect… >>> More

Good morning, I'm new to shader coding and trying to implement some visual effects code in shaders using billboards.
