OpenGL: failed to create frame buffer object - c++

An OpenGL FBO is created and bind color buffer and stencil buffer to it .
glCheck(glBindFramebuffer(GL_FRAMEBUFFER, fbo));
// Delete old framebuffers if ever created.
if ( clrRbo != 0)
glDeleteRenderbuffers(1, & clrRbo);
if ( stencilRbo != 0)
glDeleteRenderbuffers(1, & stencilRbo);
// Create new framebuffers with new size.
int maxSize; glGetIntegerv(GL_MAX_RENDERBUFFER_SIZE, &maxSize);
glCheck(glGenRenderbuffers(1,&clrRbo));
glCheck(glBindRenderbuffer(GL_RENDERBUFFER,clrRbo));
glCheck(glRenderbufferStorage(GL_RENDERBUFFER, GL_RGBA, (std::min)(maxSize,m_localvp.pix_width),(std::min)(maxSize, m_localvp.pix_height)))
glCheck(glGenRenderbuffers(1,&stencilRbo));
glCheck(glBindRenderbuffer(GL_RENDERBUFFER,stencilRbo));
glCheck(glRenderbufferStorage(GL_RENDERBUFFER, GL_STENCIL_INDEX, (std::min)(maxSize,m_localvp.pix_width),(std::min)(maxSize, m_localvp.pix_height)))
// Bind new framebuffers to FBO;
glCheck(glBindFramebuffer(GL_FRAMEBUFFER, fbo));
glCheck(glFramebufferRenderbuffer(GL_FRAMEBUFFER, GL_COLOR_ATTACHMENT0, GL_RENDERBUFFER, clrRbo));
glCheck(glFramebufferRenderbuffer(GL_FRAMEBUFFER, GL_STENCIL_ATTACHMENT, GL_RENDERBUFFER, stencilRbo));
Problem that bothers me lies at :
glRenderbufferStorage(GL_RENDERBUFFER, GL_RGBA, (std::min)(maxSize,m_localvp.pix_width),(std::min)(maxSize, m_localvp.pix_height))
This call fails (get GL_INVALID_OPERATION error ) when different internal formats are used, which caused the failed creation of FBO. Some machine works fine with GL_RGBA and some works with GL_RGBA8, and some works with both. What's the difference between GL_RGBA8 and GL_RGBA. How could I figure out which format is supported on current machine?

Invalid framebuffer operation after glCheckFramebufferStatus

I am getting a weird OpenGL error when running my application on my HD4000 (Windows 64bit, driver version 15.28.20.64.3347).
I boiled it down to a few OpenGL calls to reproduce it:
Create two framebuffer objects.
Create a texture and bind it as GL_COLOR_ATTACHMENT0 to both FBOs.
Call glTexImage2D a second time on the texture
Bind the first FBO and call glCheckFramebufferStatus (returns GL_FRAMEBUFFER_COMPLETE).
Bind the second FBO and call glClear. The glClear gives an GL_INVALID_FRAMEBUFFER_OPERATION.
Step 3 and 4 are required to reproduce the error, which I find especially disturbing for the glCheckFramebufferStatus call. The problem also does not occur on other graphics cards (including the Nvidia card on the same machine).
If you call glCheckFramebufferStatus on the second FBO, it also returns GL_FRAMEBUFFER_COMPLETE. However, when inspecting the internal OpenGL state with apitrace, it says that the second FBO has now a color attachment with object name zero.
Re-binding the texture to the second FBO after the glCheckFramebufferStatus call resolves the error. This is working as a workaround for now, but I suppose that binding textures to various FBOs each frame is not a good idea.
Here is the C++ code that reproduces the error:
// Create a texture and bind it to two FBOs
GLuint textureName;
glGenTextures(1, &textureName);
glBindTexture(GL_TEXTURE_RECTANGLE, textureName);
glTexImage2D(GL_TEXTURE_RECTANGLE, 0, GL_RGBA, 2, 2, 0, GL_RGBA, GL_UNSIGNED_BYTE, NULL);
GLuint fboNames[2];
glGenFramebuffers(2, fboNames);
glBindFramebuffer(GL_FRAMEBUFFER, fboNames[0]);
glFramebufferTexture2D(GL_FRAMEBUFFER, GL_COLOR_ATTACHMENT0, GL_TEXTURE_RECTANGLE, textureName, 0);
glBindFramebuffer(GL_FRAMEBUFFER, fboNames[1]);
glFramebufferTexture2D(GL_FRAMEBUFFER, GL_COLOR_ATTACHMENT0, GL_TEXTURE_RECTANGLE, textureName, 0);
glBindTexture(GL_TEXTURE_RECTANGLE, textureName);
glTexImage2D(GL_TEXTURE_RECTANGLE, 0, GL_RGBA, 2, 2, 0, GL_RGBA, GL_UNSIGNED_BYTE, NULL);
glBindFramebuffer(GL_FRAMEBUFFER, fboNames[0]);
// Removing this line resolves the error
glCheckFramebufferStatus(GL_FRAMEBUFFER); // Returns GL_FRAMEBUFFER_COMPLETE
glBindFramebuffer(GL_FRAMEBUFFER, fboNames[1]);
GLenum bufferTarget = GL_COLOR_ATTACHMENT0;
glDrawBuffers(1, &bufferTarget);
// Adding this line resolves the error
// glFramebufferTexture2D(GL_FRAMEBUFFER, GL_DEPTH_ATTACHMENT, GL_TEXTURE_RECTANGLE, 1, 0);
glCheckFramebufferStatus(GL_FRAMEBUFFER); // Returns GL_FRAMEBUFFER_COMPLETE
//This call causes a GL_INVALID_FRAMEBUFFER_OPERATION error.
glClear(GL_COLOR_BUFFER_BIT);
Here is a minimal Visual Studio 2013 Project to reproduce it: https://www.dropbox.com/s/5142j26d839gkp9/HD4000Error.zip
Now, my question is: Am I doing something illegal with OpenGL here or is this simply a driver bug?
We reported this issue to Intel and it seems that it was in fact a bug. It is fixed in the current driver version.

glReadPixels() sets GL_INVALID_OPERATION error

I'm trying to implement color picking with FBO. I have multisampled FBO (fbo[0]) which I use to render the scene and I have non multisampled FBO (fbo[1]) which I use for color picking.
The problem is: when I try to read pixel data from fbo[1] everything goes well until glReadPixels call which sets GL_INVALID_OPERATION flag. I've checked the manual and can't find the reason why.
The code to create FBO:
glBindRenderbuffer(GL_RENDERBUFFER, rbo[0]);
glRenderbufferStorageMultisample(GL_RENDERBUFFER, numSamples, GL_RGBA8, resolution[0], resolution[1]);
glBindRenderbuffer(GL_RENDERBUFFER, rbo[1]);
glRenderbufferStorageMultisample(GL_RENDERBUFFER, numSamples, GL_DEPTH24_STENCIL8, resolution[0], resolution[1]);
glBindRenderbuffer(GL_RENDERBUFFER, rbo[2]);
glRenderbufferStorage(GL_RENDERBUFFER, GL_R32UI, resolution[0], resolution[1]);
glBindRenderbuffer(GL_RENDERBUFFER, rbo[3]);
glRenderbufferStorage(GL_RENDERBUFFER, GL_DEPTH24_STENCIL8, resolution[0], resolution[1]);
glBindFramebuffer(GL_DRAW_FRAMEBUFFER, fbo[1]);
glFramebufferRenderbuffer(GL_DRAW_FRAMEBUFFER, GL_DEPTH_STENCIL_ATTACHMENT, GL_RENDERBUFFER, rbo[3]);
glFramebufferRenderbuffer(GL_DRAW_FRAMEBUFFER, GL_COLOR_ATTACHMENT0, GL_RENDERBUFFER, rbo[2]);
OGLChecker::checkFBO(GL_DRAW_FRAMEBUFFER);
glBindFramebuffer(GL_DRAW_FRAMEBUFFER, fbo[0]);
glFramebufferRenderbuffer(GL_DRAW_FRAMEBUFFER, GL_DEPTH_STENCIL_ATTACHMENT, GL_RENDERBUFFER, rbo[1]);
glFramebufferRenderbuffer(GL_DRAW_FRAMEBUFFER, GL_COLOR_ATTACHMENT0, GL_RENDERBUFFER, rbo[0]);
OGLChecker::checkFBO(GL_DRAW_FRAMEBUFFER);
My checker stays silent so the FBOs are complete. Next the picking code
glBindFramebuffer(GL_DRAW_FRAMEBUFFER, fbo[1]);
glClear(GL_COLOR_BUFFER_BIT | GL_DEPTH_BUFFER_BIT );
// bla, bla, bla
// do the rendering
unsigned int result;
glBindFramebuffer(GL_DRAW_FRAMEBUFFER, 0);
glBindFramebuffer(GL_READ_FRAMEBUFFER, fbo[1]);
int sb;
glReadBuffer(GL_COLOR_ATTACHMENT0);
glBindBuffer(GL_PIXEL_PACK_BUFFER, 0);
glGetIntegerv(GL_SAMPLE_BUFFERS, &sb);
// glBindFramebuffer(GL_READ_FRAMEBUFFER, 0);
OGLChecker::getGlError();
std::cerr << "Sample buffers " << sb << std::endl;
glReadPixels(pos.x(), resolution.y() - pos.y(), 1, 1, GL_RED, GL_UNSIGNED_INT, &result);
OGLChecker::getGlError();
return result;
the output:
Sample buffers 0
OpenGL Error : Invalid Operation
The interesting fact that if I uncomment glBindFramebuffer(GL_READ_FRAMEBUFFER, 0); then no error happens and pixels are read from screen (but I don't need this).
What may be wrong here?
Your problem is the format parameter. For a texture that has a one-channel integer internal format the correct parameter isn't GL_RED, but GL_RED_INTEGER:
glReadPixels(pos.x(), resolution.y() - pos.y(), 1, 1, GL_RED_INTEGER, GL_UNSIGNED_INT, &result);
Look at the OpenGL documentation wiki (emphasis mine):
...
format
Specifies the format of the pixel data. For transfers of depth, stencil, or depth/stencil data, you must use GL_DEPTH_COMPONENT, GL_STENCIL_INDEX, or GL_DEPTH_STENCIL, where appropriate. For transfers of normalized integer or floating-point color image data, you must use one of the following: GL_RED, GL_GREEN, GL_BLUE, GL_RG, GL_RGB, GL_BGR, GL_RGBA, and GL_BGRA. For transfers of non-normalized integer data, you must use one of the following: GL_RED_INTEGER, GL_GREEN_INTEGER, GL_BLUE_INTEGER, GL_RG_INTEGER, GL_RGB_INTEGER, GL_BGR_INTEGER, GL_RGBA_INTEGER, and GL_BGRA_INTEGER. Even if no actual pixel transfer is made (data​ is NULL and no buffer is bound to GL_PIXEL_UNPACK_BUFFER), you must set this parameter correctly for the internal format of the destination image.
...
Note: the official reference page is incomplete/wrong.
Given that it's "fixed" if you uncomment that line of code, I wonder if your driver is lying to you about GL_SAMPLE_BUFFERS being 0. From http://www.opengl.org/sdk/docs/man/xhtml/glReadPixels.xml:
GL_INVALID_OPERATION is generated if GL_READ_FRAMEBUFFER_BINDING is non-zero, the read framebuffer is complete, and the value of GL_SAMPLE_BUFFERS for the read framebuffer is greater than zero.
If you're using NVIDIA's binary driver on Linux and have switched to a non-graphical virtual console (e.g. CTRL+ALT+F1) then any attempt to glReadPixels() will return GL_INVALID_OPERATION (0x502).
Solution: Switch back to the graphical console (usually CTRL+ALT+F7).

Binding a stencil render buffer to a frame buffer in opengl

Have anyone done this succesfully? It seems whatever index format I use in the stencil render buffer glCheckFramebufferStatus(...) returns GL_FRAMEBUFFER_UNSUPPORTED.
I've succesfully bound both a depth\color render buffer, but whenever I try to do the same thing with my stencil buffer I get (as I said) GL_FRAMEBUFFER_UNSUPPORTED.
Here is snippets of my code:
// Create frame buffer
GLuint fb;
glGenFramebuffers(1, &fb);
// Create stencil render buffer (note that I create depth buffer the exact same way, and It works.
GLuint sb;
glGenRenderbuffers(1, &sb);
glBindRenderbuffer(GL_RENDERBUFFER, sb);
glRenderbufferStorage(GL_RENDERBUFFER, GL_STENCIL_INDEX8, w, h);
// Attach color
glFramebufferTexture2D(GL_FRAMEBUFFER, GL_COLOR_ATTACHMENT0, GL_TEXTURE_2D, cb, 0);
// Attach stencil buffer
glBindFramebuffer(GL_FRAMEBUFFER, fb);
glFramebufferRenderbuffer(GL_FRAMEBUFFER, GL_STENCIL_ATTACHMENT, GL_RENDERBUFFER, rb);
// And here I get an GL_FRAMEBUFFER_UNSUPPORTED when doing glCheckFramebufferStatus()
Any ideas?
Note: The color attachement is a texture and not a renderbuffer
Never use a free-standing stencil buffer. If you need stencil, always use a depth+stencil image format. Note that the stencil index formats are not required image formats.
Even though you're not using a depth buffer here, you still should use GL_DEPTH24_STENCIL8, which you should attach to GL_DEPTH_STENCIL_ATTACHMENT​.
You can use stencil-only on recent nvidia hardware/drivers
glFramebufferTexture2DEXT(GL_FRAMEBUFFER_EXT, GL_STENCIL_ATTACHMENT_EXT, GL_TEXTURE_2D, fboStencilTexture, 0);
Still no support for both separate depth and stencil

Problems outputting gl_PrimitiveID to custom frame buffer object (FBO)

I have a very basic fragment shader which I want to output 'gl_PrimitiveID' to a fragment buffer object (FBO) which I have defined. Below is my fragment shader:
#version 150
uniform vec4 colorConst;
out vec4 fragColor;
out uvec4 triID;
void main(void)
{
fragColor = colorConst;
triID.r = uint(gl_PrimitiveID);
}
I setup my FBO like this:
GLuint renderbufId0;
GLuint renderbufId1;
GLuint depthbufId;
GLuint framebufId;
// generate render and frame buffer objects
glGenRenderbuffers( 1, &renderbufId0 );
glGenRenderbuffers( 1, &renderbufId1 );
glGenRenderbuffers( 1, &depthbufId );
glGenFramebuffers ( 1, &framebufId );
// setup first renderbuffer (fragColor)
glBindRenderbuffer(GL_RENDERBUFFER, renderbufId0);
glRenderbufferStorage(GL_RENDERBUFFER, GL_RGBA, gViewWidth, gViewHeight);
// setup second renderbuffer (triID)
glBindRenderbuffer(GL_RENDERBUFFER, renderbufId1);
glRenderbufferStorage(GL_RENDERBUFFER, GL_RGB32UI, gViewWidth, gViewHeight);
// setup depth buffer
glBindRenderbuffer(GL_RENDERBUFFER, depthbufId);
glRenderbufferStorage(GL_RENDERBUFFER, GL_DEPTH_COMPONENT32, gViewWidth, gViewHeight);
// setup framebuffer
glBindFramebuffer(GL_FRAMEBUFFER, framebufId);
glFramebufferRenderbuffer(GL_FRAMEBUFFER, GL_COLOR_ATTACHMENT0, GL_RENDERBUFFER, renderbufId0);
glFramebufferRenderbuffer(GL_FRAMEBUFFER, GL_COLOR_ATTACHMENT1, GL_RENDERBUFFER, renderbufId1);
glFramebufferRenderbuffer(GL_FRAMEBUFFER, GL_DEPTH_ATTACHMENT, GL_RENDERBUFFER, depthbufId );
// check if everything went well
GLenum stat = glCheckFramebufferStatus(GL_FRAMEBUFFER);
if(stat != GL_FRAMEBUFFER_COMPLETE) { exit(0); }
// setup color attachments
const GLenum att[] = {GL_COLOR_ATTACHMENT0, GL_COLOR_ATTACHMENT1};
glDrawBuffers(2, att);
// render mesh
RenderMyMesh()
// copy second color attachment (triID) to local buffer
glReadBuffer(GL_COLOR_ATTACHMENT1);
glReadPixels(0, 0, gViewWidth, gViewHeight, GL_RED, GL_UNSIGNED_INT, data);
For some reason glReadPixels gives me a 'GL_INVALID_OPERATION' error? However if i change the internal format of renderbufId1 from 'GL_RGB32UI' to 'GL_RGB' and I use 'GL_FLOAT' in glReadPixels instead of 'GL_UNSIGNED_INT' then everything works fine. Does anyone know why I am getting the 'GL_INVALID_OPERATION' error and how I can solve it?
Is there an alternative way of outputting 'gl_PrimitiveID'?
PS: The reason I want to output 'gl_PrimitiveID' like this is explained here: Picking triangles in OpenGL core profile when using glDrawElements
glReadPixels(0, 0, gViewWidth, gViewHeight, GL_RED, GL_UNSIGNED_INT, data);
As stated on the OpenGL Wiki, you need to use GL_RED_INTEGER when transferring true integer data. Otherwise, OpenGL will try to use floating-point conversion on it.
BTW, make sure you're using glBindFragDataLocation to set up which buffers those fragment shader outputs go to. Alternatively, you can set it up explicitly in the shader if you're using GLSL 3.30 or above.

Frame Buffer Object (FBO) and Render & Depth Buffers Relation

I saw many examples on the web (for example) which do the following
Create and Bind FBO
Create and Bind BUFFERS (texture, render, depth, stencil)
Then, UnBind BUFFERS
To work with FBO- Bind FBO, do the work then UnBind FBO
However, also Bind texture BUFFER for read, write etc. with texture BUFFER
BUT NEVER EVER SEEN re-Bind of other BUFFERS (render, depth, stencil), Why?
Example of BUFFERS creation and bind/unbind (Below code is just for example only to show what I explained and works perfectly),
// create a framebuffer object, you need to delete them when program exits.
glGenFramebuffersEXT(1, &fboId);
glBindFramebufferEXT(GL_FRAMEBUFFER_EXT, fboId);
// create color buffer object and attached to fbo
glGenRenderbuffersEXT(1, &rboId);
glBindRenderbufferEXT(GL_RENDERBUFFER_EXT, rboId);
glRenderbufferStorageEXT(GL_RENDERBUFFER_EXT, GL_RGB, TEXTURE_WIDTH, TEXTURE_HEIGHT);
glBindRenderbufferEXT(GL_RENDERBUFFER_EXT, 0); //UnBind
if(useDepthBuffer) {
glGenRenderbuffersEXT(1, &rboIdDepth);
glBindRenderbufferEXT(GL_RENDERBUFFER_EXT, rboIdDepth);
glRenderbufferStorageEXT(GL_RENDERBUFFER_EXT, GL_DEPTH_COMPONENT, TEXTURE_WIDTH, TEXTURE_HEIGHT);
glBindRenderbufferEXT(GL_RENDERBUFFER_EXT, 0); //UnBind
}
glFramebufferRenderbufferEXT(GL_FRAMEBUFFER_EXT, GL_COLOR_ATTACHMENT0_EXT, GL_RENDERBUFFER_EXT, rboId);
if(useDepthBuffer)
glFramebufferRenderbufferEXT(GL_FRAMEBUFFER_EXT, GL_DEPTH_ATTACHMENT_EXT, GL_RENDERBUFFER_EXT, rboIdDepth);
// check FBO status
printFramebufferInfo();
bool status = checkFramebufferStatus();
if(!status)
fboUsed = false;
.
//then,
.
glBindFramebufferEXT(GL_FRAMEBUFFER_EXT, fboId);
// Do the work
glBindFramebufferEXT(GL_FRAMEBUFFER_EXT, 0);
1. Why dont we need to bind all the BUFFERS again (I mean while
working-with/drawing-objects-to
FBO)?
2. What is going on under-the-hood here?
EDIT: attach-> Bind and deattach-> UnBind
I don't know if I completely understood you, but the renderbuffers bound to the attachment points (GL_COLOR_ATTACHMENT...) are per-FBO state and this FBO state remains unchanged you only need to bind the FBO to tell OpenGL that this FBO is now used and all its state (that you set earlier) will take effect.
I think by
Then, deattach BUFFERS
You refer to this
glBindRenderbufferEXT(GL_RENDERBUFFER_EXT, rboIdDepth);
However this is not a detach, this is a unbind, which means something different. The renderbuffer is still attached to the FBO. The binding however selects the buffer object on which the following buffer object operations are to be performed on. It's kinda like the with statement found in some languages.
The actual attaching of a buffer object, that doesn't have to be bound, happens here
glFramebufferRenderbufferEXT(GL_FRAMEBUFFER_EXT,
GL_COLOR_ATTACHMENT0_EXT,
GL_RENDERBUFFER_EXT,
rboId ); // rboID != 0
It would be detached by a matching
glFramebufferRenderbufferEXT(GL_FRAMEBUFFER_EXT,
GL_COLOR_ATTACHMENT0_EXT,
GL_RENDERBUFFER_EXT,
0 );
