Matrix-engine [1.8.4]

About Matrix Engine project
Name: MATRIX-ENGINE 1.8.1

STATUS

• [Integrated PWA addToHomePage/cache/] ✔
• [Integrated raycast (hit trigger detect), bvh animation] ✔
• [Basic Physics implementation based on cannon.js] ✔
• [FirstPersonController/SceneController Drag and navigation scene] ✔
• [Shadows vs lights (GLSL)] ✔ *Description *ℹ This is small but inspiring project. The benefits of this project is offering an overview of the entire application logic, easy native implementations (hybrid app), object structural. Thanks to Mr.Keestu i use (gl-program-structure) new version of glmatrix (2.0). Push&Pop matrix just like in opengles 1.1. Also can be downgraded to openGLES 1.1. webGL Lightweight library based on glmatrix engine. For multiplayer used webRTC done with io socket. Physics done with last version of cannon.js.

*Limitation *⚠
Basic implementation for physics (Cube, Sphere)
Raycast not work after walk behind the object in first person mode
Only static object cast spot light in right way for now.
Need general more improvement on GLSL part.
Next Features 🔜
General improvements in Lights section. Shaders must be improved based on work Links -> https://webglfundamentals.org/webgl/lessons/

Install dependencies
Matrix engine keep minimum dependency.

uglify-js, minify
browserify, watchify

npm run install.dep
npm i

@note: For windows users maybe you will need to add browserify to the env PATH if you got errors on commands npm run build.*.

Help for localhost dev stage
Build Application bundle script
From [1.8.0] you can use build for develop with watch task:

npm run examples
npm run app
@note: If you use unsecured http protocol no build needed at all just navigate to the html file who loade script with type=module. No need for this any more but you can use it.

For production/public server you will use npm run build.XXX commands. and then upload project to the usually /var/www/html/.

app-build.html , examples-build.html loads compiled javascript type text/javascript.

Build entry App.js

npm run build.app
Now navigate to the app-build.html page.

Build entry App-Examples.js
npm run build.examples
Now navigate to the examples-build.html page.

Build just library

npm run build.lib

Build with uglify

build.app.ugly;

Build ALL

npm run build.all;

After all for production is recommended to use compressed script.

Production Final (bash):
./compress
Switch example with url params
Usefull also for production for switching whole pages/apps. https://localhost/matrix-engine/query.html?u=adding_color_cube

Features description
Camera config
In ./program/manifest.js. Access is App.camera. Note: One of params FirstPersonController or SceneController must be false.

FirstPersonController is classic first person view with movement WASD and mouse look.
SceneController use direct input WASD. To make camera angle view change press shift to enable camera angle. Middle mouse button will enable drag scene to left/right/top/down. Mouse middle wheel change work only when shift is pressed.

camera: {
viewAngle: 45,
nearViewpoint: 0.1,
farViewpoint: 1000,
edgeMarginValue: 100,
FirstPersonController: false,
SceneController: false,
sceneControllerDragAmp: 0.1,
sceneControllerDragAmp: 0.1,
speedAmp: 0.5,
sceneControllerEdgeCameraYawRate: 3,
sceneControllerWASDKeysAmp: 0.1
},
Light And Shadows [1.7.6]
activateShadows works only for cube for now.

 world.Add("cubeLightTex", 1, "myCube4", textuteImageSamplers);
  App.scene.myCube4.activateShadows();
  App.scene.myCube4.shadows.activeUpdate();
  App.scene.myCube4.shadows.animatePositionY();

If you wanna color vertex but with direction and ambient light then:

// Simple direction light
world.Add("cubeLightTex", 1, "myCube7", textuteImageSamplersTest);
App.scene.myCube7.position.setPosition(3,3,-11);
App.scene.myCube7.geometry.colorData.SetGreenForAll(0.5)
App.scene.myCube7.geometry.colorData.SetRedForAll(0.5)
App.scene.myCube7.geometry.colorData.SetBlueForAll(0.5)
App.scene.myCube7.deactivateTex();

Make square pattern

  // Custom generic textures. Micro Drawing.
  // Example for arg shema square for now only.
  var options = {
    squareShema: [4,4],
    pixels: new Uint8Array(4 * 4 * 4),
    style: {
      type: 'chessboard',
      color1: 0,
      color2: 255
    }
  };

  App.scene.myCube9.textures.push(
    App.scene.myCube9.createPixelsTex(options)
  );

Physics
Physics based on cannon.js

Support list : 😇

cube

Example with physics and raycast hit detect:

 App.camera.SceneController = true;

  canvas.addEventListener('mousedown', (ev) => {
    matrixEngine.raycaster.checkingProcedure(ev);
  });

  window.addEventListener('ray.hit.event', (ev) => {
    console.log("You shoot the object! Nice!", ev)

    /**
     * Physics force apply
     */
     if (ev.detail.hitObject.physics.enabled == true) {
      ev.detail.hitObject.physics.currentBody.force.set(0,0,1000)
     }
  });

  var tex = {
    source: ["res/images/complex_texture_1/diffuse.png"],
    mix_operation: "multiply",
  };

  // Load Physics world!
  let gravityVector = [0, 0, -9.82];
  let physics = world.loadPhysics(gravityVector);
  // Add ground
  physics.addGround(App, world, tex);
  world.Add("cubeLightTex", 1, "CUBE", tex);
  var b = new CANNON.Body({
    mass: 5,
    position: new CANNON.Vec3(0, -15, 2),
    shape: new CANNON.Box(new CANNON.Vec3(1, 1, 1))
  });
  physics.world.addBody(b);
  // Physics
  App.scene.CUBE.physics.currentBody = b;
  App.scene.CUBE.physics.enabled = true;

  const objGenerator = (n) => {
    for(var j = 0;j < n;j++) {

      setTimeout(() => {
        world.Add("cubeLightTex", 1, "CUBE" + j, tex);
        var b2 = new CANNON.Body({
          mass: 1,
          linearDamping: 0.01,
          position: new CANNON.Vec3(1, -14.5, 15),
          shape: new CANNON.Box(new CANNON.Vec3(1, 1, 1))
        });

        physics.world.addBody(b2);
        App.scene['CUBE' + j].physics.currentBody = b2;
        App.scene['CUBE' + j].physics.enabled = true;
      }, 1000 * j)
    }
  }

  objGenerator(100)

Networking [1.8.0]

Networking based on webRTC. If you wanna use multiplayer mode you need to run intro folder networking/ next commands:

 npm i
 node matrix-server.js

Networking Support Methods list: ✅😇
Any scene object: ➡ position SetX() SetY() SetZ() ➡ rotation.rotateX() rotateY() rotateZ()

Cube, Sphere, Square ➡ geometry.setScale() ➡ geometry.setScaleByY() ➡ geometry.setScaleByZ() ➡ geometry.setScaleByZ() ➡ geometry.setTexCoordScaleFactor()

Pyramid ➡ geometry.setScale() ➡ geometry.setSpitz()

Networking minimal example

export var runThis = world => {

  world.Add("pyramid", 1, "MyCubeTex");
  world.Add("square", 1, "MyColoredSquare1");

  // Must be activate
  matrixEngine.Engine.activateNet();

  // Must be activate for scene objects also.
  // This is only to force avoid unnecessary networking emit!
  App.scene.MyCubeTex.net.enable = true;
  App.scene.MyCubeTex.net.activate();

  App.scene.MyColoredSquare1.net.enable = true;
  App.scene.MyColoredSquare1.net.activate();

  // Just call it normally
  App.scene.MyCubeTex.position.SetZ(-8);
  App.scene.MyColoredSquare1.position.SetZ(-8);

};

It is perfect solution webGL vs webRTC. Origin code used broadcaster class from visual-ts game engine project.

Custom textures
We just override function for texture executing code. Next level is full custom opportunity, geometry, collision, networking etc.

App.scene.MySquareTexure1.custom.gl_texture = function (object, t) {
  world.GL.gl.bindTexture(world.GL.gl.TEXTURE_2D, object.textures[t]);
  world.GL.gl.texParameteri(world.GL.gl.TEXTURE_2D, world.GL.gl.TEXTURE_MAG_FILTER, world.GL.gl.LINEAR);
  world.GL.gl.texParameteri(world.GL.gl.TEXTURE_2D, world.GL.gl.TEXTURE_MIN_FILTER, world.GL.gl.LINEAR);
  world.GL.gl.texParameteri(world.GL.gl.TEXTURE_2D, world.GL.gl.TEXTURE_WRAP_S, world.GL.gl.CLAMP_TO_EDGE);
  world.GL.gl.texParameteri(world.GL.gl.TEXTURE_2D, world.GL.gl.TEXTURE_WRAP_T, world.GL.gl.CLAMP_TO_EDGE);

  world.GL.gl.texImage2D(
    world.GL.gl.TEXTURE_2D,
    0,                         // Level of details
    world.GL.gl.RGBA,          // Format
    world.GL.gl.RGBA,
    world.GL.gl.UNSIGNED_BYTE, // Size of each channel
    object.textures[t].image
  );

  world.GL.gl.generateMipmap(world.GL.gl.TEXTURE_2D);
};

*BVH Matrix Skeletal *[1.5.0]
New deps pack bvh-loader. It is bvh parser created for matrix-engine but can be used for any other graphics language.

 const options = {
    world: world,
    autoPlay: true,
    myFrameRate: 10,
    showOnLoad: false, // if autoPLay is true then showOnLoad is inactive.
    type: 'ANIMATION', // "TPOSE' | 'ANIMATION'
    loop: 'playInverse', // true | 'stopOnEnd' | 'playInverse' | 'stopAndReset'
    globalOffset: [-30, -180, -155],
    skeletalBoneScale: 6,
    boneNameBasePrefix: 'backWalk',
    skeletalBlend: { paramDest: 7, paramSrc: 6 }, // remove arg for no blend
    boneTex: {

Raycast
cube , square, triangle, obj (ObjLoader) [1.8.4] From 1.8.4 raycast hit trigger works for obj's.

Raycast works fine also in firstPersonCamera operation. Raycast work perfect after local single rotation x, y, or z. Combination rotx and roty works , roty and rotz only with rotx = 180 for now. Bug if walk behind object then turn arround and try raycast but no work for now.

Usage:

 canvas.addEventListener('mousedown', (ev) => {
    matrixEngine.raycaster.checkingProcedure(ev);
  });

  canvas.addEventListener('ray.hit.event', (ev) => {
    alert("You shoot the object! Nice")
  });

First person controller:

  // In one line activate also deactivate.
  App.camera.FirstPersonController = true;
Animated female droid (morph targets):
// Obj Loader
function onLoadObj(meshes) {

  // No need from [1.8.2]
  // App.meshes = meshes;
  for (const key in App.meshes) {
    matrixEngine.objLoader.initMeshBuffers(world.GL.gl, App.meshes[key]);
  }

  textuteImageSamplers2 = {
    source: ['res/images/RustPaint.jpg'],
    mix_operation: 'multiply'
  };

  setTimeout(function () {
    var animation_construct = {
      id: 'female',
      meshList: meshes, // from [1.8.2]
      sumOfAniFrames: 18,
      currentAni: 0,
      speed: 3
    };

    world.Add('obj', 1, 'female', textuteImageSamplers2, App.meshes.female, animation_construct);

    App.scene.female.position.y = -3;
    App.scene.female.rotation.rotationSpeed.z = 20;
    App.scene.female.position.z = -13;
    // App.scene.armor.mesh.setScale(5)
  }, 100);
}

// Custom list 1, 3, 5, 9
matrixEngine.objLoader.downloadMeshes(
  {
    female: 'res/3d-objects/female/female_000001.obj',
    female1: 'res/3d-objects/female/female_000003.obj',
    female2: 'res/3d-objects/female/female_000005.obj',
    female3: 'res/3d-objects/female/female_000009.obj',
    ...
  },
  onLoadObj
);

// From [1.8.2] you can use makeObjSeqArg
matrixEngine.objLoader.downloadMeshes(
matrixEngine.objLoader.makeObjSeqArg(
{ id: objName,
path: "res/bvh-skeletal-base/swat-guy/seq-walk/low/swat",
from : 1, to: 34 }),
onLoadObj
);
Blending:

// Use it
App.scene.female.glBlend.blendEnabled = true;
App.scene.female.glBlend.blendParamSrc = ENUMERATORS.glBlend.param[4];
App.scene.female.glBlend.blendParamDest = ENUMERATORS.glBlend.param[4];

Load Obj with UV map (Blender export tested):
For more details dee this example script: load_obj_file.js

Video texture:
world.Add('cubeLightTex', 1, 'TV', textuteImageSamplers, App.meshes.TV);
App.scene.TV.streamTextures = new VIDEO_TEXTURE('Galactic Expansion Fractal Morph [Official Video]');
Camera texture:

App.scene.TV.streamTextures = new ACCESS_CAMERA('webcam_beta');

*MatrixBVHCharacter *(MEBvhAnimation)

MatrixBVHCharacter feature use class matrixEngine.MEBvhAnimation. Its load primitives for bvh skeletal. MatrixBVHCharacter is proccess where we load pre defined skelatal obj parts(head, neck, legs...) .

@note Human character failed for noe but func works.
Nice for primitive obj mesh bur rig must have nice description of position/rotation. In maximo skeletal bones simple not fit. If you pripare bones you can get nice bvh obj adaptation for animations.

Example Code:

  const options = {
    world: world,                    // [Required]
    autoPlay: true,                  // [Optimal]
    showOnLoad: false,               // [Optimal] if autoPLay is true then showOnLoad is inactive.
    type: 'ANIMATION',               // [Optimal] 'ANIMATION' | "TPOSE'
    loop: 'playInverse',             // [Optimal] true | 'stopOnEnd' | 'playInverse' | 'stopAndReset'
    globalOffset: [-30, -180, -155], // [Optimal]  for 1.5 diff from obj seq anim
    skeletalBoneScale: 2,            // [Optimal]
    /*skeletalBlend: {               // [Optimal] remove arg for no blend
      paramDest: 4,
      paramSrc: 4
    },*/
    boneTex: {
      source: [
        "res/images/default/default-pink.png",
      ],
      mix_operation: "multiply",
    },
    drawTypeBone: "matrixSkeletal",
    matrixSkeletal: "res/bvh-skeletal-base/y-bot/matrix-skeletal/",
    objList: ['spine', 'hips', 'head'] ,

    matrixSkeletalObjScale: 80,       // [Optimal]

    // Can be predefined `MatrixSkeletal` prepared skeletal obj parts/bones.
    // Can be primitives:
    // pyramid | triangle | cube | square | squareTex | cubeLightTex | sphereLightTex

    // New optimal arg
    // Sometime we need more optimisation
    ignoreList: ['spine1'],
    ifNotExistDrawType: 'triangle'
  };

  const filePath = "res/bvh/Female1_B04_StandToWalkBack.bvh";
  var myFirstBvhAnimation = new matrixEngine.MEBvhAnimation(filePath, options);

This is folder for obj parts (head arm legs ...) Filenames are simplefield like head.obj , arm.obj without any prefix from constructor...

matrixSkeletal: "res/bvh-skeletal-base/y-bot/matrix-skeletal/",

Take a look example: matrix_skeletal.js.

Character (ObjLoader/morph targets)
This good in runtime bad for loading procedure.

How to update character animation? Maximo -> download dea or fbx -> import intro blender Import multi or one animation. -> blender export -> obj (animation)

This is new feature from [1.8.2]. Take a look at : load_obj_sequence.js

For now engine use objLoader to load all morphs.

  matrixEngine.objLoader.downloadMeshes(
      matrixEngine.objLoader.makeObjSeqArg(
        {
          id: objName,
          path: "res/bvh-skeletal-base/swat-guy/anims/swat-multi",
          from: 1,
          to: 61
        }),
      onLoadObj
    );

in onLoadObj :

var animArg = {
    id: objName,
    meshList: meshes,
    // sumOfAniFrames: 61, No need if `animations` exist!
    currentAni: 0,
    // speed: 3, No need if `animations` exist!
    // upgrade - optimal
    animations: {
      active: 'walk',
      walk: {
        from: 0,
        to: 35,
        speed: 3
      },
      walkPistol: {
        from: 36,
        to: 60,
        speed: 3
      }
    }
  };

Texture editor (runtime):
Using Vjs3 with Editor use:

 App.scene.outsideBox.streamTextures = new Vjs3(
  "./2DTextureEditor/actual.html",
  "actualTexture"
);

Running Editor Tool
npm run run.tex.editor
// or

npm run te

After creating 2d texture direct on page at the end run:

npm run build.tex.editor

to make build final pack.

Imports note we can use any canvas 2d app [anyCanvas] .
In examples:

porting2d.js [Old VJS] Example of anyCanvas
porting_text.js [Vjs3]
porting2d_particle.js [Vjs3]
It is very powerfull tool!

Research Vjs3 source examples at: https://github.com/zlatnaspirala/visualjs

On NPM Service npm i visual-js , matrix engine already have visual-js , visual-js-server editor backend part.

To show/hide iframe use: App.scene.outsideBox - is any object who have streamTextures LOADED with 2DCANVAS.

App.scene.outsideBox.streamTextures.showTextureEditor();
E('HOLDER_STREAMS').style.display = 'none';

Access to the [any] canvas2d program: anyCanvas(path-of-html,name-of-canvas)

 App.scene.outsideBox.streamTextures = new anyCanvas(
      "./apps/funny-slot/",
      "HELLO_WORLD")

Live editor [actual.js predefined]
Texture-Editor

Old VJS loading with anyCanvas()
Texture-Editor

Old Live demo: Video and webcam works at: https://maximumroulette.com/webgl2/examples.html

Changes:
From [1.8.0]
Added watchify. We have support for real time connections based on webRTC. You must work on https protocol even in localhost. Change in program/manifest net = false if you dont wanna use networking.

Node.js Multiplayer Server based on webRTC. Take a look at the folder ./netwotking.

Run it:

cd networking
node matrix.server.js

If you wanna in terminal popup then run (bash/work on win also if you have bash) dedicated.sh./ or dedicated.bat.

From [1.7.11]
No need for: // matrixEngine.Engine.load_shaders('shaders/shaders.html');Initial Shaders now loads from code (inside engine). No need any action.

PWA Fully runned
Integrated Add to Home page and regular html5 page options. In same time fixed all autoplay audio and video context construction. It is good to consult pwa test on page. Best way is to keep it on 100% pass. pwa-powered
