optimization - 在GLSL中选择cubmap面的快速方法

Question

我希望优化以下执行 cubmap 面部选择的 glsl 函数。它需要一个 3 分量向量并返回人脸、人脸的 texcoords 和最大的分量。

vec4 cubemap( vec3 P )
{
    vec4 Coord;
    vec3    s = abs(P.xyz);
    bvec3   b = greaterThan( P.xyz, vec3(0,0,0) );

    if ( all( greaterThanEqual( s.xx, s.yz ) ) )
    {
        if ( b.x )
            Coord = vec4( -P.z, -P.y, 0, s.x );
        else
            Coord = vec4(  P.z, -P.y, 1, s.x );
    } else 
    if ( all( greaterThanEqual( s.yy, s.xz ) ) )
    {
        if ( b.y )
            Coord = vec4(  P.x,  P.z, 2, s.y );
        else
            Coord = vec4(  P.x, -P.z, 3, s.y );
    } else 
    {
        if ( b.z )
            Coord = vec4(  P.x, -P.y, 4, s.z );
        else
            Coord = vec4( -P.x, -P.y, 5, s.z );
    }

    Coord.xy = ((Coord.xy / Coord.w) + 1.0) * 0.5;
    return Coord;
}

这种方式可能仍然很慢，但它不会做任何分支:

vec2 directionToUV(vec3 v) {
    vec3 abs = abs(v);
    float max = max(max(abs.x, abs.y), abs.z); // Get the largest component
    vec3 weights = step(max, abs); // 1.0 for the largest component, 0.0 for the others
    float sign = dot(weights, sign(v)) * 0.5 + 0.5; // 0 or 1

    // Find the uv coordinate 
    float sc = dot(weights, mix(vec3(v.z, v.x, -v.x), vec3(-v.z, v.x, v.x), sign));
    float tc = dot(weights, mix(vec3(-v.y, -v.z, -v.y), vec3(-v.y, v.z, -v.y), sign));
    vec2 uv = (vec2(sc, tc) / max) * 0.5 + 0.5;

    // Offset into the right region of the texture
    float offsetX = dot(weights, vec3(0.0, 1.0, 2.0));
    float offsetY = sign;
    uv.x = (uv.x + offsetX) / 3.0;
    uv.y = (uv.y + offsetY) / 2.0;
    return uv;
}
