Drawing circles with Pixelbender

October 19th, 2010

I am not sure, if this makes any sense at all, but if you ever need to draw antialiased circles in Pixelbender, here is a quite simple solution. I had the idea after watching Mario Klingemanns and Ralph Hauwerts sessions at Flash on the Beach. They were talking about the bad idea of using conditions like if/else in Pixelbender shaders. So this solution runs without any branches and makes just use of built-in functions min/max.

Circles.pbk

Update: There is a useful application for that!

    I feel a little dizzy now. Those circles almost have the same effect as optical illusions! :P Thanks!

    FYI: PyPy uses a tracing JIT and it can JIT-compile even code dynamically generated inside an eval().

    I don’t know how they do that.
