I am trying to implement a color picking algorithm, so I render my entities with a unique color on a different Framebuffer, so I can then query that Framebuffer on the pixel my mouse is on (using glReadPixels) and select the entity under the mouse cursor.
This works fine on my integrated Intel HD Graphics 4600. I am able to read back the exact value I sent on the GPU.
However running the application using my Nvidia GTX 860M, the results are not consistent. A few random pixels have the original color but most of them have the color a bit altered.
The same thing happens on another computer that has a Geforce 8600 GT.
I tried running it using NSight Graphics, which allows me to view the memory of the Textures.
The arrow points to the correct pixel color. I would expect every pixel to have the same color.
I use this union to create a unique color...
union u_picking_color {
struct s_entity *ep;
glm::vec3 color;
};
then I query the Framebuffer like this:
struct s_entity *Renderer::GetEntity(int x, int y) {
union u_picking_color picking_color = { 0 };
m_picking_fbo.SetReadTarget();
glReadPixels(x, y, 1, 1, GL_RGB, GL_FLOAT, &picking_color.color);
return picking_color.ep;
}
here are the API calls used to create the Framebuffer:
glGenFramebuffers(1, &m_frameBufferId);
glBindFramebuffer(GL_FRAMEBUFFER, m_frameBufferId);
glGenTextures(1, &m_colorTextureId);
glBindTexture(GL_TEXTURE_2D, m_colorTextureId);
glTexParameteri(GL_TEXTURE_2D, GL_TEXTURE_MIN_FILTER, GL_LINEAR);
glTexParameteri(GL_TEXTURE_2D, GL_TEXTURE_MAG_FILTER, GL_LINEAR);
glTexImage2D(GL_TEXTURE_2D, 0, GL_RGBA32F, width, height, 0, GL_RGBA, GL_FLOAT, nullptr);
glFramebufferTexture2D(GL_FRAMEBUFFER, GL_COLOR_ATTACHMENT0, GL_TEXTURE_2D, m_colorTextureId, 0);
glGenTextures(1, &m_depthTextureId);
glBindTexture(GL_TEXTURE_2D, m_depthTextureId);
glTexParameteri(GL_TEXTURE_2D, GL_TEXTURE_MIN_FILTER, GL_LINEAR);
glTexParameteri(GL_TEXTURE_2D, GL_TEXTURE_MAG_FILTER, GL_LINEAR);
glTexImage2D(GL_TEXTURE_2D, 0, GL_DEPTH_COMPONENT24, width, height, 0, GL_DEPTH_COMPONENT, GL_FLOAT, nullptr);
glFramebufferTexture2D(GL_FRAMEBUFFER, GL_DEPTH_ATTACHMENT, GL_TEXTURE_2D, m_depthTextureId, 0);
Also, here are the shaders used to draw on the framebuffer. They do not change the color. They only pass it through the pipeline.
Vertex:
#version 330 core
layout(location = 0) in vec3 v_Position;
//layout(location = 1) in vec3 v_Normal;
//layout(location = 2) in vec4 v_Color;
layout(location = 3) in vec3 v_PickingColor;
out vec4 color;
uniform mat4 u_ViewProjection;
void main()
{
color = vec4(v_PickingColor, 1);
gl_Position = u_ViewProjection * vec4(v_Position.x, v_Position.y, v_Position.z, 1.0f);
}
Fragment:
#version 330 core
out vec4 fragColor;
in vec4 color;
void main()
{
fragColor = color;
}
I tried disabling GL_BLEND and GL_DITHER with no success.
Turns out, even though I was using the same colour per-vertex, I should have used the 'flat' keyword on my shaders to prevent interpolation and avoid precision errors.
Vertex Shader:
flat out vec4 color;
Fragment Shader:
flat in vec4 color;
I am writing an openGL program and have multiple models drawn into the environment, but I don't know how to apply different textures to each of those models, so for now they all have the same texture. I've read that I need to add multiple texture units into the program or use a texture atlas. A texture atlas seems more complicated, so I'm trying to add texture units.
The way I thought this process worked is:
Generate two texture units with glGenTextures.
Bind the data of the first image to the first texture unit with glBindTexture and glTexImage2D.
Do the same with the second image.
From here, I thought I could tell openGL which texture unit I want to use using glActiveTexture. This seems to work with just one texture (i.e. skip step 3) but fails with two or more.
I'm sure I'm missing something, so could someone point me in the right direction?
//Generate textures
int texturec=2;
int w[texturec],h[texturec];
unsigned char *data[texturec];
data[0]=getImage(&w[0],&h[0],"resources/a.png");
data[1]=getImage(&w[1],&h[1],"resources/b.png");
//Apply textures
GLuint textures[texturec];
glGenTextures(texturec, textures);
//Bind a.png to the first texture unit
glBindTexture(GL_TEXTURE_2D, textures[0]);
glTexImage2D(GL_TEXTURE_2D, 0,GL_RGB, w[0], h[0], 0, GL_RGB, GL_UNSIGNED_BYTE, data[0]);
//Bind b.png to the second texture unit
glBindTexture(GL_TEXTURE_2D, textures[1]);
glTexImage2D(GL_TEXTURE_2D, 0,GL_RGB, w[1], h[1], 0, GL_RGB, GL_UNSIGNED_BYTE, data[1]);
glActiveTexture(GL_TEXTURE0);
//Not super clear on what this does, but it needs to be here.
glTexParameteri(GL_TEXTURE_2D, GL_TEXTURE_MIN_FILTER, GL_NEAREST);
And here are my shaders:
Fragment:
#version 330 core
in vec2 UV;
out vec3 color;
uniform sampler2D textureSampler;
void main(){
color=texture(textureSampler,UV).rgb;
}
Vertex:
#version 330 core
layout(location=0) in vec3 vertexPos;
layout(location=1) in vec2 vertexUV;
out vec2 UV;
uniform mat4 MVP;
void main(){
gl_Position=MVP*vec4(vertexPos,1);
UV=vertexUV;
}
Edit:
Here is my new code after applying Rabid76's suggestions:
//Generate textures
int texturec=2;
int w[texturec],h[texturec];
unsigned char *data[texturec];
data[0]=getImage(&w[0],&h[0],"resources/a.png");
data[1]=getImage(&w[1],&h[1],"resources/b.png");
//Apply textures
GLuint textures[texturec];
glGenTextures(texturec, textures);
glActiveTexture(GL_TEXTURE0);
glBindTexture(GL_TEXTURE_2D, textures[0]);
glTexImage2D(GL_TEXTURE_2D, 0,GL_RGB, w[0], h[0], 0, GL_RGB, GL_UNSIGNED_BYTE, data[0]);
glActiveTexture(GL_TEXTURE1);
glBindTexture(GL_TEXTURE_2D, textures[1]);
glTexImage2D(GL_TEXTURE_2D, 0,GL_RGB, w[1], h[1], 0, GL_RGB, GL_UNSIGNED_BYTE, data[1]);
glTexParameteri(GL_TEXTURE_2D, GL_TEXTURE_MIN_FILTER, GL_NEAREST);
//Shaders
programID=loadShaders("shaders/vertex.shader","shaders/fragment.shader");
glUseProgram(programID);
//Use texture unit 1
glActiveTexture(GL_TEXTURE1);
GLint texLoc=glGetUniformLocation(programID, "textureSampler");
glUniform1i(texLoc, 1);
Generate two texture units with glGenTextures.
No. glGenTextures doesn't generate a texture unit.
glGenTextures reserves name value(s), which can be used for texture objects.
glBindTexture binds a named texture to a texturing target. When this function is called, then the texture object is bound to the current texture unit.
The current texture unit can be set by glActiveTexture:
e.g.
GLuint textures[texturec];
glGenTextures(texturec, textures);
glActiveTexture(GL_TEXTURE0);
glBindTexture(GL_TEXTURE_2D, textures[0]);
// [...]
glActiveTexture(GL_TEXTURE1);
glBindTexture(GL_TEXTURE_2D, textures[1]);
// [...]
The texture objects name value and the texture unit are completely different things.
The texture unit is the binding point between the texture object and the shader program.
On the one side, the texture object has to be bound to the texture unit, on the other side the texture unit has to be set to the texture sampler uniform. So the texture unit is the "link" in between.
Since GLSL version 4.2, the texture unit can be set by a Layout Qualifier (GLSL) within the shader. The Binding point corresponds to the texture unit. e.g. binding = 1 means texture unit 1:
layout(binding = 1) uniform sampler2D textureSampler;
Alternatively the texture unit index can be assigned to the texture sampler uniform by glUniform1i:
GLint texLoc = glGetUniformLocation(programID, "textureSampler");
glUniform1i(texLoc, 1);
If the shader program uses 1 texture sampler uniform
uniform sampler2D textureSampler;
then it is sufficient to bind the proper texture object before the draw call:
glActiveTexture(GL_TEXTURE0); // this is default
glBindTexture(GL_TEXTURE_2D, textures[0]);
But if the shader program uses multiple texture sampler uniforms (of the same target), then the different texture objects have to be bound to different texture units:
e.g.
layout(binding = 3) uniform sampler2D textureSampler1;
layout(binding = 4) uniform sampler2D textureSampler2;
glActiveTexture(GL_TEXTURE3);
glBindTexture(GL_TEXTURE_2D, textures[0]);
glActiveTexture(GL_TEXTURE4);
glBindTexture(GL_TEXTURE_2D, textures[1]);
respectively
layout(location = 7) uniform sampler2D textureSampler1;
layout(location = 8) uniform sampler2D textureSampler2;
glActiveTexture(GL_TEXTURE3);
glBindTexture(GL_TEXTURE_2D, textures[0]);
glActiveTexture(GL_TEXTURE4);
glBindTexture(GL_TEXTURE_2D, textures[1]);
glUseProgram(programID);
glUniform1i(7, 3); // location = 7 <- texture unit 3
glUniform1i(8, 4); // location = 8 <- texture unit 4
I have a program that takes the following texture:
which is generated via FreeType2. Basically, it's creating a texture atlas for every character that I've requested to be drawn. As you can see, the characters are bright and clear. In fact, you can see that the top-leftmost pixel of the lowercase 'i' has a value of 71 (out of 255) or 0.7098 when I inspect the texture in RenderDoc.
Next, the engine blits letters onto a Framebuffer Object. This is done via textured quads. The vertex shader:
#version 330
layout(location=0) in vec2 inVertexPosition;
layout(location=1) in vec2 inTexelCoords;
layout(location=2) in float inDepth;
out vec2 texelCoords;
out float depth;
void main()
{
gl_Position = vec4(inVertexPosition.x,-inVertexPosition.y, 0.0, 1.0);
texelCoords = vec2(inTexelCoords.x,1-inTexelCoords.y);
depth = inDepth;
}
And the frag shader:
#version 330
layout(location=0) out vec4 frag_colour;
in vec2 texelCoords;
in float depth;
uniform sampler2D uTexture;
uniform vec4 uTextColor;
void main()
{
vec4 c = texture(uTexture,texelCoords);
frag_colour = uTextColor * c.r;
gl_FragDepth = depth;
}
As you can see, it's sets the pixel color to be a factor of the red channel.
However, when I view the contents of the FBO via RenderDoc, and saved out to file here, you see this:
If you look at this without transparency (just a second layer added underneath in Gimp to illustrate better):
You can see that the text is a little faded compared to what it was before. If you look at the top-leftmost pixel of the lowercase 'i', it's now a value of 50.2, or for a range of 0-1 it's 0.50196 (via RenderDoc).
Next, when the FBO is finally put onto the screen via another textured quad it fades even more. First here's the vertex shader:
#version 330
layout(location=0) in vec2 inVertexPosition;
layout(location=1) in vec2 inTexelCoords;
varying vec2 texelCoords;
void main()
{
gl_Position = vec4(inVertexPosition.x,-inVertexPosition.y, 0.0, 1.0);
texelCoords = vec2(inTexelCoords.x,1-inTexelCoords.y);
}
and the fragment shader:
#version 330
precision highp float;
layout(location=0) out vec4 frag_colour;
varying vec2 texelCoords;
uniform sampler2D uTexture;
void main()
{
vec4 c = texture(uTexture,texelCoords);
frag_colour = c;
}
The results, as I said are more faded than before:
original:
gimp background for clarity:
now that pixel has a value of 25.1 or 0.05139.
What is causing this fading after every render?
I think it's important to note that the brighter areas don't fade.

My blending is done as
glBlendFunc(GL_SRC_ALPHA, GL_ONE_MINUS_SRC_ALPHA);
has a value of 71 (out of 255) or 0.7098
No idea, what you even mean here. 71/255 would be 0.278. 0.7098 normalized would be 181 out of 255. Looks like your "out of 255" are just percentage values, out of 100%.
glBlendFunc(GL_SRC_ALPHA, GL_ONE_MINUS_SRC_ALPHA);
You use that color values from the red channel also as alpha, so, when you have blending enabled, you end up with 0.7098*0.7098=.5038. Since the result will be rounded to the nearest reprersentable value, we rather end with 181/255 * 181/255 = .50382 rounded to 128/255
it's now a value of 50.2, or for a range of 0-1 it's 0.50196
128/255 is 0.50196078....
So the solution is: disable blending for all steps when you don't need it. Or if you need it, set useful alpha values.
Side note:
now that pixel has a value of 25.1 or 0.05139.
No Idea what this means, the 25.1 does not relate to 0.05139 in any obvious way, you definitively switched the meaning of those values again.
I have two framebuffers that I am rendering two different objects to. When I use the default framebuffer, I have both the objects rendering on the same one.
I want this behaviour to work when using multiple framebuffers! How do I merge two framebuffers and render the winning fragments on top (Depth tested)! Basically like a Photoshop Layer Merge but with depth testing!
I got as far as blitting a single framebuffer onto the default framebuffer, but I'm lost as to how I would merge two framebuffers together!
Note: I have a color and a depth attachment to the framebuffers.
Edit:
Alright. I almost have the setup of rendering to a quad working except for one little thing. My color buffes are properly sent to the shader using uniform samplers but my depth values return '0' all the time from the depth buffers.
This is how I have my depth buffers setup within the framebuffer.
glGenFramebuffers(1, &_fbo);
glBindFramebuffer(GL_FRAMEBUFFER, _fbo);
glGenTextures(1, &_cbo);
glGenTextures(1, &_dbo);
{
glBindTexture(GL_TEXTURE_2D, _cbo);
glTexParameteri(GL_TEXTURE_2D, GL_TEXTURE_WRAP_S, GL_CLAMP_TO_EDGE);

glTexParameteri(GL_TEXTURE_2D, GL_TEXTURE_MAG_FILTER, GL_NEAREST);
glTexImage2D(GL_TEXTURE_2D, 0, GL_RGBA, dim.x, dim.y, 0, GL_RGBA, GL_UNSIGNED_BYTE, nullptr);
}
{
glBindTexture(GL_TEXTURE_2D, _dbo);
glTexParameteri(GL_TEXTURE_2D, GL_TEXTURE_MIN_FILTER, GL_LINEAR);

glTexParameteri(GL_TEXTURE_2D, GL_TEXTURE_WRAP_S, GL_CLAMP_TO_EDGE);
glTexParameteri(GL_TEXTURE_2D, GL_TEXTURE_WRAP_T, GL_CLAMP_TO_EDGE);
glTexImage2D(GL_TEXTURE_2D, 0, GL_DEPTH_COMPONENT24, dim.x, dim.y, 0, GL_DEPTH_COMPONENT, GL_UNSIGNED_INT, nullptr);
}
glBindFramebuffer(GL_FRAMEBUFFER, _fbo);
glFramebufferTexture2D(GL_FRAMEBUFFER, GL_COLOR_ATTACHMENT0, GL_TEXTURE_2D, _cbo, 0);
glFramebufferTexture2D(GL_FRAMEBUFFER, GL_DEPTH_ATTACHMENT, GL_TEXTURE_2D, _dbo, 0);
This is how I send uniform samplers to the shader.
glActiveTexture(GL_TEXTURE0);
glBindTexture(GL_TEXTURE_2D,cbo1);
glUniform1i(glGetUniformLocation(QuadShader.Program, "color1"),0);
glActiveTexture(GL_TEXTURE1);
glBindTexture(GL_TEXTURE_2D, cbo2);
glUniform1i(glGetUniformLocation(QuadShader.Program, "color2"), 1);
glActiveTexture(GL_TEXTURE2);
glBindTexture(GL_TEXTURE_2D, dbo1);
glUniform1i(glGetUniformLocation(QuadShader.Program, "depth1"), 2);
glActiveTexture(GL_TEXTURE3);
glBindTexture(GL_TEXTURE_2D, dbo2);
glUniform1i(glGetUniformLocation(QuadShader.Program, "depth2"), 3);
glBindVertexArray(BgVao);
glDrawArrays(GL_TRIANGLES, 0, 6);
This is how my shader looks:
uniform sampler2D color1;
uniform sampler2D color2;
uniform sampler2D depth1;
uniform sampler2D depth2;
out vec4 FragColor;
void main()
{
ivec2 texcoord = ivec2(floor(gl_FragCoord.xy));
vec4 depth1 = texelFetch(depth1, texcoord,0);
vec4 depth2 = texelFetch(depth2, texcoord,0);
if(depth1.z > depth2.z)
{
FragColor = texelFetch(color1, texcoord, 0);
}
else
{
FragColor = texelFetch(color2, texcoord, 0);
}
}
You will need a shader to achieve this. There is no built-in way to blit with depth values. Here is one way to do it that combines the contents of both FBOs.
Vertex shader (assumes a quad is drawn from (-1,-1) to (1,1) )
layout(location = 0) in vec4 Position;
void main()
{
// Snap the input coordinates to a quad with it lower-left at (-1, -1, 0)
// and its top-right at (1, 1, 0)
gl_Position = vec4(sign(Position.xy), 0.0, 1.0);
}
The pixel shader could look like this:
uniform sampler2D Color0;
uniform sampler2D Color1;
uniform sampler2D Depth0;
uniform sampler2D Depth1;
in vec2 TexCoords;
layout(location = 0) out vec4 FragColor;
void main()
{
ivec2 texcoord = ivec2(floor(gl_FragCoord.xy));
float depth0 = texelFetch(Depth0, texcoord, 0).r;
float depth1 = texelFetch(Depth1, texcoord, 0).r;
// possibly reversed depending on your depth buffer ordering strategy
if (depth0 < depth1) {
FragColor = texelFetch(Color0, texcoord, 0);
} else {
FragColor = texelFetch(Color1, texcoord, 0);
}
}
See also OpenGL - How to access depth buffer values? - Or: gl_FragCoord.z vs. Rendering depth to texture for how to access the depth texture.
Note that I use texelFetch() here because linearly interpolating depth values does not give valid results.
Blitting will never use the depth test, so you have to use a full-screen shader pass to combine both framebuffers. There are two options:
Combine both framebuffers into a third one. This requires that both the color attachments as well as the depth attachments of both input FBOs are textures. You then render a full-screen quad and sample from both color buffers and depth textures. You basically do the depth test manually in the shader by comparing the two depth to decide which of the two color values you use as final output color for the fragment.
You composite one of the framebuffers into the other, using the real depth test. In that case, only one of the FBOs has to use textures, the other one can use renderbuffers or the window-system provided buffers. You just have to render a full-screen quad, this time sampling the depth and color textures only from one input FBO, and render into the output FBO with depth testing enabled. YOu just set the color value as output of the fragment shader and additionally output the depth value to gl_FragDepth.
This should be possible with a fragment shader that uses the color data from both framebuffers and the depth data from both framebuffers and fills in each pixel by evaluating, for each fragment, the texture corresponding to the fragment that won the depth test.
#version 430
layout(location = 0) in vec2 tex_coord;
layout(binding = 0) uniform sampler2D color_texture_1;
layout(binding = 1) uniform sampler2D color_texture_2;
layout(binding = 2) uniform sampler2D depth_texture_1;
layout(binding = 3) uniform sampler2D depth_texture_2;
layout(location = 0) out vec4 fragment_color;
void main() {
float depth_1 = texture(depth_texture_1, tex_coord).z;
float depth_2 = texture(depth_texture_2, tex_coord).z;
if(!/*check to verify *something* was rendered here in either framebuffer*/)
discard;
else {
if(depth_1 > depth_2) //I'm pretty sure positive z values face the user
fragment_color = texture(color_texture_1, tex_coord);
else
fragment_color = texture(color_texture_2, tex_coord);
}
}
You'd render a (full-screen, presumably) quad, use a pass-through vertex shader with this fragment shader, and attach the respective textures.
I don't know what format your Depth Texture is in; my assumption is that it contains vectors representing the individual fragment coordinates, and that the z-coordinate contains its depth. If that isn't the case, you'll need to make adjustments.
I'm trying to show a greyscale texture on the screen. I create my texture via
glGenTextures(1, &heightMap);
glBindTexture(GL_TEXTURE_2D, heightMap);
glTexImage2D(GL_TEXTURE_2D, 0, GL_R32F, 512, 512, 0, GL_RED, GL_FLOAT, colorData);
colorData is a float[512*512] with values between 0.0 and 1.0.
When rendering, I use:
glBindTexture(GL_TEXTURE_2D, heightMap);
glUniform1i(shader.GetUniformLocation("textureSampler"), 0);
shader.GetUniformLocation is a function of a library we use at university. It is essentially the same as glGetUniformLocation(shader, "textureSampler"), so don't be confused by it.
I render two triangles via triangle strip. My fragment shader is:
#version 330
layout(location = 0) out vec4 frag_color;
in vec2 texCoords;
uniform sampler2D textureSampler;
void main()
{
frag_color = vec4(texture(textureSampler, texCoords).r, 0, 0, 1);
}
I know the triangles are rendered correctly (e.g. if I use vec4(1.0, 0, 0, 1) for frag_color, I get a completely red screen). However with the line above, I only get a completely black screen. Every texture value seems to be 0.0.
Does anyone have an idea, what I have done wrong? Are there mistakes in that few lines of code or are these completely correct and the error is somewhere else?
As one of the comments below says, setting glTexParameteri(GL_TEXTURE_2D, GL_TEXTURE_MIN_FILTER, GL_LINEAR); and glTexParameteri(GL_TEXTURE_2D, GL_TEXTURE_MAG_FILTER, GL_LINEAR); solves the problem. :)
