   GLSL: Stupid question about emulating fixed pipeline
  Im getting into GLSL, and i want to write a pair of shaders for emulating the fixed pipeline functionality.Im kinda stuck at the point when the texture coordinates are transformed inside the vertex shader. gl_TexCoord = gl_TextureMatrix * gl_MultiTextureCoordi;This is supposed to happen for every set of texture coordinates up to gl_MaxTextureCoords, right? (which i would assume varies from app to app). How am i supposed to iterate the set of gl_MultiTextureCoords from 0 to gl_MaxTextureCoords, if they arent in an array?I guess this is more of a C/C++ question than a GLSL question, but it might be that i am missing something really obvious.Thanks in advance!PS: Is there a mirror for the ShaderGen framework? 3dLabs seems to have made it disappear from their website.
  You should only be manipulating the data that you actually need. So if your primary shader has two textures, then only manipulate the first two texture coordinates and make sure they are initialized properly in the app.You shouldn't try to make one size fits all shaders, just make the few exclusively different shaders that you will actually need.So the array isn't accesed via a variable and a loop. It's accessed with constants.gl_TexCoord[0] = gl_TextureMatrix[0] * gl_MultiTextureCoord0;gl_TexCoord[1] = gl_TextureMatrix[1] * gl_MultiTextureCoord1;Most of your shaders will expect the texture matrix to be identity, so typically this computation can be excluded.   ;Quote:Original post by bzroomYou should only be manipulating the data that you actually need.

But im trying to get as generic as possible in emulating fixed functionality.Is it just not possible to do it? Or is it just considered bad coding?
