// DEFORM EFFECT

//

// Deform the whole shape of the Object by force V. Algorithm is as follows:

//

// Suppose we apply force (Vx,Vy) at point (Cx,Cy) (i.e. the center of the effect). Then, first of all,

// divide the rectangle into 4 smaller rectangles along the 1 horizontal + 1 vertical lines that pass

// through (Cx,Cy). Now suppose we have already understood the following case:

//

// A vertical (0,Vy) force applied to a rectangle (WxH) in size, at center which is the top-left corner

// of the rectangle.  (*)

//

// If we understand (*), then we understand everything, because in order to compute the movement of the

// whole rectangle we can apply (*) 8 times: for each one of the 4 sub-rectangles, apply (*) twice,

// once for the vertical component of the force vector, the second time for the horizontal one.

//

// Let's then compute (*):

// 1) the top-left point will move by exactly (0,Vy)

// 2) we arbitrarily decide that the top-right point will move by (|Vy|/(|Vy|+A*W))*Vy, where A is some

//    arbitrary constant (const float A below). The F(V,W) = (|Vy|/(|Vy|+A*W)) comes from the following:

//    a) we want F(V,0) = 1

//    b) we want lim V->inf (F) = 1

//    c) we actually want F() to only depend on W/V, which we have here.

// 3) then the top edge of the rectangle will move along the line Vy*G(x), where G(x) = (1 - (A*W/(|Vy|+A*W))*(x/W)^2)

// 4) Now we decide that the left edge of the rectangle will move along Vy*H(y), where H(y) = (1 - |y|/(|Vy|+C*|y|))

//    where C is again an arbitrary constant. Again, H(y) comes from the requirement that no matter how

//    strong we push the left edge of the rectangle up or down, it can never 'go over itself', but its

//    length will approach 0 if squeezed very hard.

// 5) The last point we need to compute is the left-right motion of the top-right corner (i.e. if we push

//    the top-left corner up very hard, we want to have the top-right corner not only move up, but also to

//    the left at least a little bit).

//    We arbitrarily decide that, in addition to moving up-down by Vy*F(V,W), the corner will also move

//    left-right by I(V,W) = B*W*F(V,W), where B is again an arbitrary constant.

// 6) combining 3), 4) and 5) together, we arrive at a movement of an arbitrary point (x,y) away from the

//    top-left corner:

//    X(x,y) = -B*x * (|Vy|/(|Vy|+A*W)) * (1-(y/H)^2)                               (**)

//    Y(x,y) = Vy * (1 - |y|/(|Vy|+C*|y|)) * (1 - (A*W/(|Vy|+A*W))*(x/W)^2)         (**)

//

// We notice that formulas (**) have been construed so that it is possible to continously mirror them

// left-right and up-down (i.e. apply not only to the 'bottom-right' rectangle of the 4 subrectangles

// but to all 4 of them!).

//

// Constants:

// a) A : valid values: (0,infinity). 'Bendiness' if the surface - the higher A is, the more the surface

//        bends. A<=0 destroys the system.

// b) B : valid values: <-1,1>. The amount side edges get 'sucked' inwards when we pull the middle of the

//        top edge up. B=0 --> not at all, B=1: a looot. B=-0.5: the edges will actually be pushed outwards

//        quite a bit. One can also set it to <-1 or >1, but it will look a bit ridiculous.

// c) C : valid values: <1,infinity). The derivative of the H(y) function at 0, i.e. the rate of 'squeeze'

//        surface gets along the force line. C=1: our point gets pulled very closely to points above it

//        even when we apply only small vertical force to it. The higher C is, the more 'uniform' movement

//        along the force line is.

//        0<=C<1 looks completely ridiculous and C<0 destroys the system.

// a=Py/Sy (N --> when (Px,Py) is above (Sx,Sy)) or a=Px/Sx (W) or a=(w-Px)/(w-Sx) (E) or a=(h-Py)/(h-Sy) (S) 

// It remains to be computed which of the N,W,E or S case we have: answer: a = min[ Px/Sx , Py/Sy , (w-Px)/(w-Sx) , (h-Py)/(h-Sy) ]

// Computations above are valid for screen (0,0)x(w,h) but here we have (-w/2,-h/2)x(w/2,h/2)

//  

// the vertical part

// Let |(v.x,v.y),(ux,uy)| = |PS|, ux-v.x=dx,uy-v.y=dy, f(x) (0<=x<=|SX|) be the shape of the side of the bubble.

// H(v.x,v.y) = |PS|>|SX| ? 0 : f(|PX|)

// N(v.x,v.y) = |PS|>|SX| ? (0,0,1) : ( -(dx/|PS|)sin(beta), -(dy/|PS|)sin(beta), cos(beta) ) where tan(beta) is f'(|PX|) 

// ( i.e. normalize( dx, dy, -|PS|/f'(|PX|))         

//

// Now we also have to take into account the effect horizontal move by V=(u_dVx[i],u_dVy[i]) will have on the normal vector.

// Solution: 

// 1. Decompose the V into two subcomponents, one parallel to SX and another perpendicular.

// 2. Convince yourself (draw!) that the perpendicular component has no effect on normals.

// 3. The parallel component changes the length of |SX| by the factor of a=(|SX|-|Vpar|)/|SX| (where the length

//    can be negative depending on the direction)

// 4. that in turn leaves the x and y parts of the normal unchanged and multiplies the z component by a!

//

// |Vpar| = (u_dVx[i]*dx - u_dVy[i]*dy) / sqrt(ps_sq) = (Vx*dx-Vy*dy)/ sqrt(ps_sq)  (-Vy because y is inverted)

// a =  (|SX| - |Vpar|)/|SX| = 1 - |Vpar|/((sqrt(ps_sq)/(1-d)) = 1 - (1-d)*|Vpar|/sqrt(ps_sq) = 1-(1-d)*(Vx*dx-Vy*dy)/ps_sq 

//

// Side of the bubble

// 

// choose from one of the three bubble shapes: the cone, the thin bubble and the thick bubble          

// Case 1: 

// f(t) = t, i.e. f(x) = uz * x/|SX|   (a cone)

// -|PS|/f'(|PX|) = -|PS|*|SX|/uz but since ps_sq=|PS|^2 and d=|PX|/|SX| then |PS|*|SX| = ps_sq/(1-d)

// so finally -|PS|/f'(|PX|) = -ps_sq/(uz*(1-d))

//                    

// Case 2: 

// f(t) = 3t^2 - 2t^3 --> f(0)=0, f'(0)=0, f'(1)=0, f(1)=1 (the bell curve)

// here we have t = x/|SX| which makes f'(|PX|) = 6*uz*|PS|*|PX|/|SX|^3.

// so -|PS|/f'(|PX|) = (-|SX|^3)/(6uz|PX|) =  (-|SX|^2) / (6*uz*d) but

// d = |PX|/|SX| and ps_sq = |PS|^2 so |SX|^2 = ps_sq/(1-d)^2

// so finally -|PS|/f'(|PX|) = -ps_sq/ (6uz*d*(1-d)^2)

//                  

// Case 3:

// f(t) = 3t^4-8t^3+6t^2 would be better as this satisfies f(0)=0, f'(0)=0, f'(1)=0, f(1)=1,

// f(0.5)=0.7 and f'(t)= t(t-1)^2 >=0 for t>=0 so this produces a fuller, thicker bubble!

// then -|PS|/f'(|PX|) = (-|PS|*|SX)) / (12uz*d*(d-1)^2) but |PS|*|SX| = ps_sq/(1-d) (see above!) 

// so finally -|PS|/f'(|PX|) = -ps_sq/ (12uz*d*(1-d)^3)  

//

// Now, new requirement: we have to be able to add up normal vectors, i.e. distort already distorted surfaces.

// If a surface is given by z = f(x,y), then the normal vector at (x0,y0) is given by (-df/dx (x0,y0), -df/dy (x0,y0), 1 ).

// so if we have two surfaces defined by f1(x,y) and f2(x,y) with their normals expressed as (f1x,f1y,1) and (f2x,f2y,1) 

// then the normal to g = f1+f2 is simply given by (f1x+f2x,f1y+f2y,1), i.e. if the third components are equal, then we

// can simply add up the first and second components.

//

// Thus we actually want to compute N(v.x,v.y) = a*(-(dx/|PS|)*f'(|PX|), -(dy/|PS|)*f'(|PX|), 1) and keep adding

// the first two components. (a is the horizontal part)

// WAVE EFFECT

//

// Directional sinusoidal wave effect.

//

// This is an effect from a (hopefully!) generic family of effects of the form (vec3 V: |V|=1 , f(x,y) )  (*)

// i.e. effects defined by a unit vector and an arbitrary function. Those effects are defined to move each

// point (x,y,0) of the XY plane to the point (x,y,0) + V*f(x,y).

//

// In this case V is defined by angles A and B (sines and cosines of which are precomputed in

// EffectQueueVertex and passed in the uniforms).

// Let's move V to start at the origin O, let point C be the endpoint of V, and let C' be C's projection

// to the XY plane. Then A is defined to be the angle C0C' and angle B is the angle C'O(axisY).

//

// Also, in this case f(x,y) = amplitude*sin(x/length), with those 2 parameters passed in uniforms.

//

//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

// How to compute any generic effect of type (*)

//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

//

// By definition, the vertices move by f(x,y)*V.

//

// Normals are much more complicated.

// Let angle X be the angle (0,Vy,Vz)(0,Vy,0)(Vx,Vy,Vz).

// Let angle Y be the angle (Vx,0,Vz)(Vx,0,0)(Vx,Vy,Vz).

//

// Then it can be shown that the resulting surface, at point to which point (x0,y0,0) got moved to,

// has 2 tangent vectors given by

//

// SX = (1.0+cosX*fx , cosY*sinX*fx , |sinY|*sinX*fx);  (**)

// SY = (cosX*sinY*fy , 1.0+cosY*fy , |sinX|*sinY*fy);  (***)

//

// and then obviously the normal N is given by N= SX x SY .

//

// We still need to remember the note from the distort function about adding up normals:

// we first need to 'normalize' the normals to make their third components equal, and then we

// simply add up the first and the second component while leaving the third unchanged.

//

// How to see facts (**) and (***) ? Briefly:

// a) compute the 2D analogon and conclude that in this case the tangent SX is given by

//    SX = ( cosA*f'(x) +1, sinA*f'(x) )    (where A is the angle vector V makes with X axis )

// b) cut the resulting surface with plane P which

//    - includes vector V

//    - crosses plane XY along line parallel to X axis

// c) apply the 2D analogon and notice that the tangent vector to the curve that is the common part of P

//    and our surface (I am talking about the tangent vector which belongs to P) is given by

//    (1+cosX*fx,0,sinX*fx) rotated by angle (90-|Y|) (where angles X,Y are defined above) along vector (1,0,0).

//

//    Matrix of rotation:

//

//    |sinY|  cosY

//    -cosY  |sinY|

//

// d) compute the above and see that this is equal precisely to SX from (**).

// e) repeat points b,c,d in direction Y and come up with (***).

//

// Note: we should avoid passing certain combinations of parameters to this function. One such known

// combination is ( A: small but positive, B: any, amplitude >= length ).

// In this case, certain 'unlucky' points have their normals almost horizontal (they got moved by (almost!)

// amplitude, and other point length (i.e. <=amplitude) away got moved by 0, so the slope in this point is

// very steep). Visual effect is: vast majority of surface pretty much unchanged, but random 'unlucky'

// points very dark)

//

// Generally speaking I'd keep to amplitude < length, as the opposite case has some other problems as well.
