Синтаксис ShaderLab: Stencil

The stencil buffer can be used as a general purpose per pixel mask for saving or discarding pixels.

The stencil buffer is usually an 8 bit integer per pixel. The value can be written to, increment or decremented. Subsequent draw calls can test against the value, to decide if a pixel should be discarded before running the pixel shader.

Синтаксис

Ref

    Ref referenceValue

The value to be compared against (if Comp is anything else than always) and/or the value to be written to the buffer (if either Pass, Fail or ZFail is set to replace). 0–255 integer.

ReadMask

    ReadMask readMask

An 8 bit mask as an 0–255 integer, used when comparing the reference value with the contents of the buffer (referenceValue & readMask) comparisonFunction (stencilBufferValue & readMask). Default: 255.

WriteMask

    WriteMask writeMask

An 8 bit mask as an 0–255 integer, used when writing to the buffer. Note that, like other write masks, it specifies which bits of stencil buffer will be affected by write (i.e. WriteMask 0 means that no bits are affected and not that 0 will be written). Default: 255.

Comp

    Comp comparisonFunction

The function used to compare the reference value to the current contents of the buffer. Default: always.

Pass

    Pass stencilOperation

What to do with the contents of the buffer if the stencil test (and the depth test) passes. Default: keep.

Fail

    Fail stencilOperation

What to do with the contents of the buffer if the stencil test fails. Default: keep.

ZFail

    ZFail stencilOperation

What to do with the contents of the buffer if the stencil test passes, but the depth test fails. Default: keep.

Comp, Pass, Fail and ZFail will be applied to the front-facing geometry, unless Cull Front is specified, in which case it’s back-facing geometry. You can also explicitly specify the two-sided stencil state by defining CompFront, PassFront, FailFront, ZFailFront (for front-facing geometry), and CompBack, PassBack, FailBack, ZFailBack (for back-facing geometry).

Comparison Function

Comparison function is one of the following:

Greater Only render pixels whose reference value is greater than the value in the buffer.
GEqual Only render pixels whose reference value is greater than or equal to the value in the buffer.
Less Only render pixels whose reference value is less than the value in the buffer.
LEqual Only render pixels whose reference value is less than or equal to the value in the buffer.
Equal Only render pixels whose reference value equals the value in the buffer.
NotEqual Only render pixels whose reference value differs from the value in the buffer.
Always Make the stencil test always pass.
Never Make the stencil test always fail.

Stencil Operation

Stencil operation is one of the following:

Keep Keep the current contents of the buffer.
Zero Write 0 into the buffer.
Replace Write the reference value into the buffer.
IncrSat Increment the current value in the buffer. If the value is 255 already, it stays at 255.
DecrSat Decrement the current value in the buffer. If the value is 0 already, it stays at 0.
Invert Negate all the bits.
IncrWrap Increment the current value in the buffer. If the value is 255 already, it becomes 0.
DecrWrap Decrement the current value in the buffer. If the value is 0 already, it becomes 255.

Deferred rendering path

Stencil functionality for GameObjects that Unity renders in the deferred rendering path is limited. This is because Unity uses the stencil buffer for other purposes during the G-buffer pass and lighting pass, and the stencil state that Unity defines in the Shader is ignored.

As such, you cannot mask out the GameObjects that Unity renders in the deferred rendering path based on a stencil test, but they can still modify the buffer contents that GameObjects rendered later in the frame use. GameObjects that Unity renders in the forward rendering path after the deferred path, such as transparent GameObjects or GameObjects without a surface shader, set their stencil state as expected.

Unity uses these bits for the stencil buffer in the deferred rendering path:

  • Bit #7 (value=128) indicates any non-background object.
  • Bit #6 (value=64) indicates non-lightmapped objects.
  • Bit #5 (value=32) is not used by Unity.
  • Bit #4 (value=16) is used for light shape culling during the lighting pass, so that Unity executes only the lighting shader on pixels that the light touches, and not on pixels where the surface geometry is behind the light volume.
  • Unity uses the Lowest four bits (values 1,2,4,8) for light layer culling masks.

You can operate within the range of the unused bits by using the stencil read and write masks, or you can force the camera to clean the stencil buffer after the lighting pass with Camera.clearStencilAfterLightingPass.

Пример

The first example shader will write the value ‘2’ wherever the depth test passes. The stencil test is set to always pass.

Shader "Red" {
    SubShader {
        Tags { "RenderType"="Opaque" "Queue"="Geometry"}
        Pass {
            Stencil {
                Ref 2
                Comp always
                Pass replace
            }
        
            CGPROGRAM
            #pragma vertex vert
            #pragma fragment frag
            struct appdata {
                float4 vertex : POSITION;
            };
            struct v2f {
                float4 pos : SV_POSITION;
            };
            v2f vert(appdata v) {
                v2f o;
                o.pos = UnityObjectToClipPos(v.vertex);
                return o;
            }
            half4 frag(v2f i) : SV_Target {
                return half4(1,0,0,1);
            }
            ENDCG
        }
    } 
}

The second shader will pass only for the pixels which the first (red) shader passed, because it is checking for equality with the value ‘2’. It will also decrement the value in the buffer wherever it fails the Z test.

Shader "Green" {
    SubShader {
        Tags { "RenderType"="Opaque" "Queue"="Geometry+1"}
        Pass {
            Stencil {
                Ref 2
                Comp equal
                Pass keep 
                ZFail decrWrap
            }
        
            CGPROGRAM
            #pragma vertex vert
            #pragma fragment frag
            struct appdata {
                float4 vertex : POSITION;
            };
            struct v2f {
                float4 pos : SV_POSITION;
            };
            v2f vert(appdata v) {
                v2f o;
                o.pos = UnityObjectToClipPos(v.vertex);
                return o;
            }
            half4 frag(v2f i) : SV_Target {
                return half4(0,1,0,1);
            }
            ENDCG
        }
    } 
}

The third shader will only pass wherever the stencil value is ‘1’, so only pixels at the intersection of both red and green spheres - that is, where the stencil is set to ‘2’ by the red shader and decremented to ‘1’ by the green shader.

Shader "Blue" {
    SubShader {
        Tags { "RenderType"="Opaque" "Queue"="Geometry+2"}
        Pass {
            Stencil {
                Ref 1
                Comp equal
            }
        
            CGPROGRAM
            #include "UnityCG.cginc"
            #pragma vertex vert
            #pragma fragment frag
            struct appdata {
                float4 vertex : POSITION;
            };
            struct v2f {
                float4 pos : SV_POSITION;
            };
            v2f vert(appdata v) {
                v2f o;
                o.pos = UnityObjectToClipPos(v.vertex);
                return o;
            }
            half4 frag(v2f i) : SV_Target {
                return half4(0,0,1,1);
            }
            ENDCG
        }
    }
}

Another example of a more directed effect. The sphere is first rendered with this shader to mark-up the proper regions in the stencil buffer:

Shader "HolePrepare" {
    SubShader {
        Tags { "RenderType"="Opaque" "Queue"="Geometry+1"}
        ColorMask 0
        ZWrite off
        Stencil {
            Ref 1
            Comp always
            Pass replace
        }

        CGINCLUDE
            struct appdata {
                float4 vertex : POSITION;
            };
            struct v2f {
                float4 pos : SV_POSITION;
            };
            v2f vert(appdata v) {
                v2f o;
                o.pos = UnityObjectToClipPos(v.vertex);
                return o;
            }
            half4 frag(v2f i) : SV_Target {
                return half4(1,1,0,1);
            }
        ENDCG

        Pass {
            Cull Front
            ZTest Less
        
            CGPROGRAM
            #pragma vertex vert
            #pragma fragment frag
            ENDCG
        }
        Pass {
            Cull Back
            ZTest Greater
        
            CGPROGRAM
            #pragma vertex vert
            #pragma fragment frag
            ENDCG
        }
    } 
}

And then rendered once more as a fairly standard surface shader, with the exception of front face culling, disabled depth test and stencil test discarding previously marked pixels:

Shader "Hole" {
    Properties {
        _Color ("Main Color", Color) = (1,1,1,0)
    }
    SubShader {
        Tags { "RenderType"="Opaque" "Queue"="Geometry+2"}

        ColorMask RGB
        Cull Front
        ZTest Always
        Stencil {
            Ref 1
            Comp notequal 
        }

        CGPROGRAM
        #pragma surface surf Lambert
        float4 _Color;
        struct Input {
            float4 color : COLOR;
        };
        void surf (Input IN, inout SurfaceOutput o) {
            o.Albedo = _Color.rgb;
            o.Normal = half3(0,0,-1);
            o.Alpha = 1;
        }
        ENDCG
    } 
}
