OpenGL 4 Shading Language Cookbook - Third Edition

Getting ready

Set up your OpenGL program to provide the vertex position in attribute location 0 and the vertex normal in attribute location 1. As with the previous recipe, we'll need to provide the model matrix in the uniform variable ModelMatrix.

Load the cube map using the technique shown in the previous recipe. Place it in texture unit zero.

Set the uniform variable WorldCameraPosition to the location of your viewer in world coordinates. Set the value of the uniform variable Material.Eta to the ratio between the index of refraction of the environment n₁ and the index of refraction of the material n₂ (n₁/n₂). Set the value of the uniform Material.ReflectionFactor to the fraction of light that is reflected at the interface (a small value ...
