Dependencies

This extension is written against the SPIR-V Specification, Version 1.3 Revision 2.

This extension requires SPIR-V 1.0.

Overview

This extension provides SPIR-V support for the GLSL GL_NV_fragment_shader_barycentric extension which provides fragment shaders with access to barycentric weights vectors and enables fragment inputs to read the raw per-vertex outputs from the last vertex processing stage.

The extension adds the following functionality under the new FragmentBarycentricNV capability:

  • adds the PerVertexNV decorations for input and/or output variables

  • adds BaryCoordNV and BaryCoordNoPerspNV builtins in fragment shaders

Extension Name

To use this extension within a SPIR-V module, the following OpExtension must be present in the module:

OpExtension "SPV_NV_fragment_shader_barycentric"

Modifications to the SPIR-V Specification, Version 1.3

(Modify Section 3.20, Decoration, add a new row to the Decoration table)
Decoration Enabling Capabilities Extra Operands

PerVertexNV
Must only be used on a memory object declaration or a member of a structure type. No interpolation. Values are accessed by vertex number in the fragment input. Only valid for the Input and Output Storage Classes.

(Modify Section 3.21, BuiltIn)

(add new rows to the Builtin table)

BuiltIn Enabling Capabilities

BaryCoordNV
Input barycentric coordinates in the Fragment Execution Model. These values are perspective-corrected versions of the barycentric weights. See the Vulkan API specification for more detail.

5287

BaryCoordNoPerspNV
Input barycentric coordinates in the Fragment Execution Model. These values vary linearly in screenspace. See the Vulkan API specification for more detail.
