Скачать или смотреть SFML C++ of planet Jupiter rotation and pseudo 3d animation with ripple effects

This is an example of pseudo-3d animation of planet Jupiter with rotation and ripple effects for SFML C++ running CodeBlocks 20.03.

The spritesheet animation was created with Photoshop as an *.apng file. It consists of 148 frames at 300 x 300 pixels with 1 full rotation of planet Jupiter. Radial gradient shaders were used for background glow effect and ripple shaders were placed in front of the image to produce an atmospheric like wave-effect using sine interpolation. ImGUI::SFML was used to adjust the settings in realtime and the foreground layer is a separate image over the shader so it is unaffected by the distortion.

Various adjustments for testing are:
*sinWidth, sinHeight, waveSeverity: frequency of the ripple effects.
*time, offset, offsetVal: affects how many ripples per wave.
*alpha: strength of the ripple overlapping the image.
*rotationSpeed: rotational speed of Jupiter. (uses std::fmod for frame handling)
*radialGradientShaders, ripple Radius: the size of background shader & ripple shader

When the radial gradient's strength is increased along with the ripple shader, this turns the surroundings into a boiling hot-like, inhospitable environment. A further improvement to this example would be to add another gradient shader to the ripple shader itself. This would make the circumference edges tapered for improved blending. One way to achieve this would be through multiple shader passes before the final draw.
