OpenGL horizontal pixel pairs drawn swapped - c++

I have problem that is extremely similar to the one described in OpenGL pixels drawn with each horizontal pair swapped. The main difference is that I'm getting this disortion even when I feed the texture one-byte red-only values.
EDIT: By closer inspection of normal textures, I have discovered that this problem manifests when rendering any 2D texture. I tried rotating the resulting texture by swapping the texture coordinates. The resulting picture still have swapped visual horizontal pixels - so I'm assuming that the data in the texture is good, and the disortion occurs when rendering the texture.
Here are the relevant parts of the code:
C++:
struct coord_t { float x; float y; }
GLint loc = glGetAttributeLocation(program, "coord");
if (loc != -1) {
glVertexAttribPointer(loc, 2, GL_FLOAT, GL_FALSE,
sizeof(coord_t), static_cast<void *>(offsetof(coord_t, x)));
glEnableVertexAttribArray(loc);
}
loc = glGetAttributeLocation(program, "tex_coord");
if (loc != -1) {
glVertexAttribPointer(loc, 2, GL_FLOAT, GL_FALSE, sizeof(coord_t),
static_cast<void *>((void*)(4*sizeof(coord_t)+offsetof(coord_t, x)));
glEnableVertexAttribArray(loc);
}
// ... Texture binding to GL_TEXTURE_2D ...
coord_t pos[] = {coord_t{-1.f,-1.f}, coord_t{1.f,-1.f}
coord_t{-1.f,1.f}, coord_t{1.f,1.f}
};
glBufferSubData(GL_ARRAY_BUFFER, 0, sizeof(pos), pos); // position
glBuffefSubData(GL_ARRAY_BUFFER, sizeof(pos), sizeof(pos), pos); // texture coordinates
glDrawArrays(GL_TRIANGLE_STRIP, 0, 4);
Corresponding vertex shader:
#version 110
attribute vec2 coord;
attribute vec2 tex_coord;
varying vec2 tex_out;
void main(void) {
gl_Position = vec4(coord.xy, 0.0, 1.0);
tex_out = tex_coord;
}
Corresponding fragment shader:
#version 110
uniform sampler2D my_texture;
varying vec2 tex_out;
void main(void) {
gl_FragColor = texture(my_texture, tex_out);
}

After extensive code investigation, I managed to find the culprit.
I was setting the blending function incorrectly, using GL_SRC1_ALPHA and GL_ONE_MINUS_SRC1_ALPHA instead of GL_SRC_ALPHA and GL_ONE_MINUS_SRC_ALPHA.

openGL- Drawing Grid of Quads and Manually paint them

I'm doing a simple image processing app using OpenGL and C++.
However, there is one particular thing that I don't know how to do, which is:
I need to let my user to draw a Histogram Graph.
The way I thought to do this is by creating a grid of quads one quad for each pixel intesity of my image. Example: if the image is 8 bits, I would need 256x256 quads in my grid. After drawing the grid I want my to user manually paint the quads in a quantized way (each quad) in the way that he could "draw" the histogram. The problem is that I dont know how to do any of these things...
Would anyone give me direction on how to draw the grid, and how to make the paiting thing.
Iif you're confused about "drawing histogram" just considerit as a regular graph.
You don't have to draw a grid of quads. Just one quad is enough, and then use a shader to sample from the histogram stored in a 1d-texture. Here is what I get:
Vertex shader:
#version 450 core
layout(std140, binding = 0) uniform view_block {
vec2 scale, offset;
} VIEW;
layout(std140, binding = 1) uniform draw_block {
vec4 position;
float max_value;
} DRAW;
out gl_PerVertex {
vec4 gl_Position;
};
void main()
{
ivec2 id = ivec2(gl_VertexID&1, gl_VertexID>>1);
vec2 position = vec2(DRAW.position[id.x<<1], DRAW.position[(id.y<<1) + 1]);
gl_Position = vec4(fma(position, VIEW.scale, VIEW.offset), 0, 1);
}
Fragment shader:
#version 450 core
layout(std140, binding = 1) uniform draw_block {
vec4 position;
float max_value;
} DRAW;
layout(binding = 0) uniform sampler1D hist;
layout(location = 0) out vec4 OUT;
void main()
{
const vec2 extent = DRAW.position.zw - DRAW.position.xy;
vec2 texcoord = (gl_FragCoord.xy - DRAW.position.xy)/(DRAW.position.zw - DRAW.position.xy);
OUT.rgb = vec3(lessThan(texcoord.yyy*DRAW.max_value, texture(hist, texcoord.x).rgb));
OUT.a = 1;
}
Histogram texture creation:
image hist(256, 1, 3, type_float);
// ... calculate the histogram ...
tex.reset(glCreateTextureSN(GL_TEXTURE_1D));
glTextureStorage1D(tex.get(), 1, GL_RGB32F, hist.w);
glTextureSubImage1D(tex.get(), 0, 0, hist.w, GL_RGB, GL_FLOAT, hist.c[0]);
glTextureParameteri(tex.get(), GL_TEXTURE_WRAP_S, GL_CLAMP_TO_BORDER);
Rendering routine:
const vec2i vs = { glutGet(GLUT_WINDOW_WIDTH), glutGet(GLUT_WINDOW_HEIGHT) };
glViewport(0, 0, vs[0], vs[1]);
glClear(GL_COLOR_BUFFER_BIT);
struct view_block {
vec2f scale, offset;
} VIEW = {
vec2f(2)/vec2f(vs), -vec2f(1)
};
GLbuffer view_buf(glCreateBufferStorageSN(sizeof(VIEW), &VIEW, 0));
glBindBufferBase(GL_UNIFORM_BUFFER, 0, view_buf.get());
struct draw_block {
box2f position;
float max_value;
} DRAW = {
box2f(0, 0, vs[0], vs[1]),
max_value
};
GLbuffer draw_buf(glCreateBufferStorageSN(sizeof(DRAW), &DRAW, 0));
glBindBufferBase(GL_UNIFORM_BUFFER, 1, draw_buf.get());
bind_textures(tex.get());
glBindProgramPipeline(pp.get());
glBindVertexArray(0);
glDrawArrays(GL_TRIANGLE_STRIP, 0, 4);
glutSwapBuffers();

OpenGL transformation in NDC coordinates instead of screen coordinates (2D)

I'm having trouble figuring out how to position a 2D object in my scene using screen coordinates. At the moment I have something working (code below) but it want NDC coordinates which isn't easy to work with. I can't figure out where it's going wrong. I think I've used everything like it should be so I think I'm forgetting something.
Here's the code that handles the drawing of the objects in my scene:
glClearDepth(1.0f);
glClear(GL_COLOR_BUFFER_BIT | GL_DEPTH_BUFFER_BIT);
// RENDERING HERE
colorProgram.bind();
for (size_t t = 0; t < objectsWithGraphicsComponentInThisScene.size(); ++t)
{
// set texture
glActiveTexture(GL_TEXTURE0);
glBindTexture(GL_TEXTURE_2D, objectsWithGraphicsComponentInThisScene[t]->getComponent<GraphicsComponent>()->getTexture());
GLint texLocation = colorProgram.getUniformLocation("texSampler");
glUniform1i(texLocation, 0);
glm::mat4 trans;
trans = glm::translate(glm::mat4x4(1.0f), glm::vec3(objectsWithGraphicsComponentInThisScene[t]->getPosition().x, objectsWithGraphicsComponentInThisScene[t]->getPosition().y, 0));
GLint transMatLocation = colorProgram.getUniformLocation("transformMatrix");
glUniformMatrix4fv(transMatLocation, 1, GL_FALSE, glm::value_ptr(trans));
// set camera Matrix
GLint projMatLocation = colorProgram.getUniformLocation("projectionMatrix");
glm::mat4 cameraMatrix = camera->getCameraMatrix();
glUniformMatrix4fv(projMatLocation, 1, GL_FALSE, glm::value_ptr(cameraMatrix));
objectsWithGraphicsComponentInThisScene[t]->getComponent<GraphicsComponent>()->getSprite()->draw();
// unbind all
glBindTexture(GL_TEXTURE_2D, 0);
}
colorProgram.unbind();
where colorProgram is the shader my sprites use and getPosition() simply returns a value which I've set. (where the x y and z value should be given as screen coordinates). so for example, getPosition might return [100, 50, 0] but that will render the object outside of the screen (the screen is 1280x720).
Now the code that renders the sprite (objectsWithGraphicsComponentInThisScene[t]->getComponent()->getSprite()->draw();):
void Sprite::draw()
{
glBindBuffer(GL_ARRAY_BUFFER, vboID);
glEnableVertexAttribArray(0);
// position
glVertexAttribPointer(0, 2, GL_FLOAT, GL_FALSE, sizeof(Vertex), (void*)offsetof(Vertex, position));
//color
glVertexAttribPointer(1, 4, GL_UNSIGNED_BYTE, GL_TRUE, sizeof(Vertex), (void*)offsetof(Vertex, color));
// uv
glVertexAttribPointer(2, 2, GL_FLOAT, GL_TRUE, sizeof(Vertex), (void*)offsetof(Vertex, uv));
glDrawArrays(GL_TRIANGLES, 0, 6);
glDisableVertexAttribArray(0);
glBindBuffer(GL_ARRAY_BUFFER, 0);
}
And here's the code in the shader (colorProgram):
VERTEX SHADER:
#version 130
// per vertex
// input data from VBO
in vec2 vertexPosition;
in vec4 vertexColor;
in vec2 vertexUV;
// output to fragment shader
out vec4 fragmentColor;
out vec2 fragmentUV;
uniform mat4 projectionMatrix;
uniform mat4 transformMatrix;
void main()
{
mat4 resultMatrix = transformMatrix * projectionMatrix;
gl_Position.xy = (resultMatrix * vec4(vertexPosition, 0.0, 1.0)).xy;
gl_Position.z = 0.0;
// Indicate that the coordinates are normalized
gl_Position.w = 1.0;
fragmentColor = vertexColor;
fragmentUV = vec2(vertexUV.x, 1.0 - vertexUV.y);
}
FRAGMENT SHADER
#version 130
// per pixel
// input from vertex shader
in vec4 fragmentColor;
in vec2 fragmentUV;
out vec4 color;
uniform sampler2D texSampler;
void main()
{
vec4 textureColor = texture(texSampler, fragmentUV);
if (textureColor.a < 0.5) discard;
color = fragmentColor * textureColor;
}
If you need more code I'd be happy to add more although I think this is everything that is needed.
This sequence in your vertex shader
mat4 resultMatrix = transformMatrix * projectionMatrix;
gl_Position.xy = (resultMatrix * vec4(vertexPosition, 0.0, 1.0)).xy;
is very unlikely what you actually want. Since you use the matrix * vector convention, you'll end up with
position = transform * projection * v
= transform * (projection * v)
In other words: you apply the transformation after the projection. Since after the projection, the viewing volume is in the [-1,1]^3 range (in euclidean NDC space after the perspecitive divide. In reality, we are working in clip space here, where it is [-w,w]^3, but this is not really important in this context,), translating the object by values like 100 units will certainly move it out of the frustum.
You should just reverse the order of your matrix multiplication.

How to use glDrawElementsInstanced + Texture Buffer Objects?

My use case is a bunch a textured quads that I want to draw. I'm trying to use the same indexed array of a quad to draw it a bunch of times and use the gl_InstanceID and gl_VertexID in GLSL to retrieve texture and position info from a Texture Buffer.
The way I understand a Texture Buffer is that I create it and my actual buffer, link them, and then whatever I put in the actual buffer magically appears in my texture buffer?
So I have my vertex data and index data:
struct Vertex
{
GLfloat position[4];
GLfloat uv[2];
};
Vertex m_vertices[4] =
{
{{-1,1,0,1},{0,1}},
{{1,1,0,1},{1,1}},
{{-1,-1,0,1},{0,0}},
{{1,-1,0,1},{1,0}}
};
GLuint m_indices[6] = {0,2,1,1,2,3};
Then I create my VAO, VBO and IBO for the quads:
glGenBuffers(1,&m_vertexBuffer);
glBindBuffer(GL_ARRAY_BUFFER,m_vertexBuffer);
glBufferData(GL_ARRAY_BUFFER,sizeof(Vertex)*4,&m_vertices,GL_STATIC_DRAW);
glBindBuffer(GL_ARRAY_BUFFER,0);
glGenVertexArrays(1,&m_vao);
glBindVertexArray(m_vao);
glBindBuffer(GL_ARRAY_BUFFER,m_vertexBuffer);
glEnableVertexAttribArray(0);
glVertexAttribPointer(0,4,GL_FLOAT, GL_FALSE, sizeof(struct Vertex),(const GLvoid*)offsetof(struct Vertex, position));
glEnableVertexAttribArray(1);
glVertexAttribPointer(0,2,GL_FLOAT, GL_FALSE, sizeof(struct Vertex),(const GLvoid*)offsetof(struct Vertex, uv));
glBindVertexArray(0);
glBindBuffer(GL_ARRAY_BUFFER,0);
glBindVertexArray(m_vao);
glGenBuffers(1, &m_ibo);
glBindBuffer(GL_ELEMENT_ARRAY_BUFFER, m_ibo);
glBufferData(GL_ELEMENT_ARRAY_BUFFER, sizeof(GLuint)*6,&m_indices,GL_STATIC_DRAW);
glBindBuffer(GL_ELEMENT_ARRAY_BUFFER,0);
glBindVertexArray(0);
I'm pretty sure that I've done the above correctly. My quads have 4 vertices, with six indexes to draw triangles.
Next I create my buffer and texture for the the Texture Buffer:
glGenBuffers(1,&m_xywhuvBuffer);
glBindBuffer(GL_TEXTURE_BUFFER, m_xywhuvBuffer);
glBufferData(GL_TEXTURE_BUFFER, sizeof(GLfloat)*8*100, nullptr, GL_DYNAMIC_DRAW); // 8 floats
glGenTextures(1,&m_xywhuvTexture);
glBindTexture(GL_TEXTURE_BUFFER, m_xywhuvTexture);
glTexBuffer(GL_TEXTURE_BUFFER, GL_RG32F, m_xywhuvBuffer); // they're in pairs of 2, in r,g of each texel.
glBindBuffer(GL_TEXTURE_BUFFER,0);
So, the idea is that every four texels belongs to one quad, or gl_InstanceID.
When I'm drawing my quads, they execute the below:
glActiveTexture(GL_TEXTURE0);
glBindBuffer(GL_TEXTURE_BUFFER, m_xywhuvBuffer);
std::vector<GLfloat> xywhuz =
{
-1.0f + position.x / screenDimensions.x * 2.0f,
1.0f - position.y / screenDimensions.y * 2.0f,
dimensions.x / screenDimensions.x,
dimensions.y / screenDimensions.y,
m_region.x,
m_region.y,
m_region.w,
m_region.h
};
glBufferSubData(GL_TEXTURE_BUFFER, sizeof(GLfloat)*8*m_rectsDrawnThisFrame, sizeof(GLfloat)*8, xywhuz.data());
m_rectsDrawnThisFrame++;
So I increase m_rectsDrawThisFrame for each quad. You'll notice that the data I'm passing is 8 GLfloats, so each of the 4 texels that belong to each gl_InstanceID is the x,y position, the width and height, and then the same details for the real texture that I'm going to texture my quads with.
Finally once all of my rects have updated their section of the GL_TEXTURE_BUFFER I run this:
glActiveTexture(GL_TEXTURE1);
glBindTexture(GL_TEXTURE_2D,texture); // this is my actual texture that the quads take a section from to texture themselves.
glUniform1i(m_program->GetUniformLocation("tex"),1);
glUniform4f(m_program->GetUniformLocation("color"),1,0,1,1);
glBindVertexArray(m_vao);
glDrawElementsInstanced(GL_TRIANGLES,4,GL_UNSIGNED_INT,0,m_rectsDrawnThisFrame);
m_rectsDrawnThisFrame = 0;
I reset the draw count. I also noticed that I had to activate the texture in the second slot. Does the Texture Buffer Object use up one?
Finally my Vert shader
#version 410
layout (location = 0) in vec4 in_Position;
layout (location = 1) in vec2 in_UV;
out vec2 ex_texcoord;
uniform samplerBuffer buf;
void main(void)
{
vec2 position = texelFetch(buf,gl_InstanceID*4).xy;
vec2 dimensions = texelFetch(buf,gl_InstanceID*4+1).xy;
vec2 uvXY = texelFetch(buf,gl_InstanceID*4+2).xy;
vec2 uvWH = texelFetch(buf,gl_InstanceID*4+3).xy;
if(gl_VertexID == 0)
{
gl_Position = vec4(position.xy,0,1);
ex_texcoord = uvXY;
}
else if(gl_VertexID == 1)
{
gl_Position = vec4(position.x + dimensions.x, position.y,0,1);
ex_texcoord = vec2(uvXY.x + uvWH.x, uvXY.y);
}
else if(gl_VertexID == 2)
{
gl_Position = vec4(position.x, position.y + dimensions.y, 0,1);
ex_texcoord = vec2(uvXY.x, uvXY.y + uvWH.y);
}
else if(gl_VertexID == 3)
{
gl_Position = vec4(position.x + dimensions.x, position.y + dimensions.y, 0,1);
ex_texcoord = vec2(uvXY.x + uvWH.x, uvXY.y + uvWH.y );
}
}
And my Frag shader
#version 410
in vec2 ex_texcoord;
uniform sampler2D tex;
uniform vec4 color = vec4(1,1,1,1);
layout (location = 0) out vec4 FragColor;
void main()
{
FragColor = texture(tex,ex_texcoord) * color;
}
Now the problem, after I'm getting no errors reported in GLIntercept, is that I'm getting nothing drawn on the screen.
Any help?
There is one subtle issue in your code that would certainly stop it from working. At the end of the VAO/VBO setup code, you have this:
glBindBuffer(GL_ELEMENT_ARRAY_BUFFER,0);
glBindVertexArray(0);
The GL_ELEMENT_ARRAY_BUFFER binding is part of the VAO state. If you unbind it while the VAO is bound, this VAO will not have an element array buffer binding. Which means that you don't have indices when you draw later.
You should simply remove this call:
glBindBuffer(GL_ELEMENT_ARRAY_BUFFER,0);
Also, since you have 6 indices, the second argument to the draw call should be 6:
glDrawElementsInstanced(GL_TRIANGLES, 6, GL_UNSIGNED_INT, 0, m_rectsDrawnThisFrame);
Apart from that, it all looks reasonable to me. But there's quite a lot of code, so I can't guarantee that I would have spotted all problems.
I also noticed that I had to activate the texture in the second slot. Does the Texture Buffer Object use up one?
Yes. The buffer texture needs to be bound, and the value of the sampler variable set to the corresponding texture unit. Since you bind the buffer texture during setup, never unbind it, and the default value of the sampler variable is 0, you're probably fine there. But I think it would be cleaner to set it up more explicitly. Where you prepare for drawing:
glActiveTexture(GL_TEXTURE0);
glBindTexture(GL_TEXTURE_BUFFER, m_xywhuvTexture);
glUniform1i(m_program->GetUniformLocation("buf"), 0);

Why is texelFetch always returning 0 for a 1D single channel texture?

I'm using a 1D texture to store single-channel integer data which needs to be accessed by the fragment shader. Coming from the application, the integer data type is GLubyte and needs to be accessed as an unsigned integer in the shader. Here is how the texture is created (note that there are other texture units being bound after, which I'm hoping are unrelated to the problem):
GLuint mTexture[2];
std::vector<GLubyte> data;
///... populate with 289 elements, all with value of 1
glActiveTexture(GL_TEXTURE0);
{
glGenTextures(1, &mTexture[0]);
glBindTexture(GL_TEXTURE_1D, mTexture[0]);
{
glTexImage1D(GL_TEXTURE_1D, 0, GL_R8UI, data.size(), 0,
GL_RED_INTEGER, GL_UNSIGNED_BYTE, &data[0]);
}
glBindTexture(GL_TEXTURE_1D, 0);
}
glActiveTexture(GL_TEXTURE1);
{
//Setup the other texture using mTexture[1]
}
The fragment shader looks like this:
#version 420 core
smooth in vec2 tc;
out vec4 color;
layout (binding = 0) uniform usampler1D buffer;
layout (binding = 1) uniform sampler2DArray sampler;
uniform float spacing;
void main()
{
vec3 pos;
pos.x = tc.x;
pos.y = tc.y;
if (texelFetch(buffer, 0, 0).r == 1)
pos.z = 3.0;
else
pos.z = 0.0;
color = texture(sampler, pos);
}
The value returned from texelFetch in this example basicaly dictates which texture layer to use from the 2D array for the final output color. I want it to return the value 1, but it always returns 0 and hits the else clause in the fragment shader. Using NVIDIA's Nsight tool, I can see the texture does contain the value 1, 289 times:

can't draw any other objects before or after drawing particles

I am working on a game, and trying to implement the instancized CPU-Particle System programmed on http://www.opengl-tutorial.org/intermediate-tutorials/billboards-particles/particles-instancing/
i managed to get it working in my code structure, but i am trying to draw other objects in the same window, which i can't, i have tested it, and it only allows me to draw one, either draw the particle system or draw the object i want.
The problem happens specifically at this code part :
glEnable(GL_BLEND);
glBlendFunc(GL_SRC_ALPHA, GL_ONE_MINUS_SRC_ALPHA);
// Use our shader
glUseProgram(particleprogramID->programHandle);
unit2 +=1;
glActiveTexture(GL_TEXTURE0 + unit2);
glBindTexture(GL_TEXTURE_2D, texture);
glUniform1i(TextureID, unit2);
glm::mat4 ViewMatrix = camera->getViewMatrix();
// Same as the billboards tutorial
glUniform3f(CameraRight_worldspace_ID, ViewMatrix[0][0], ViewMatrix[1][0], ViewMatrix[2][0]);
glUniform3f(CameraUp_worldspace_ID , ViewMatrix[0][1], ViewMatrix[1][1], ViewMatrix[2][1]);
glUniformMatrix4fv(ViewProjMatrixID, 1, GL_FALSE, &mvp[0][0]);
//glUniformMatrix4fv(modviewprojID, 1, GL_FALSE, &mvp[0][0]);
//1rst attribute buffer : vertices
glEnableVertexAttribArray(0);
glBindBuffer(GL_ARRAY_BUFFER, billboard_vertex_buffer);
glVertexAttribPointer(
0,
3,
GL_FLOAT,
GL_FALSE,
0,
(void*)0
);
// 2nd attribute buffer : positions of particles' centers
glEnableVertexAttribArray(1);
glBindBuffer(GL_ARRAY_BUFFER, particles_position_buffer);
glVertexAttribPointer(
1,
4,
GL_FLOAT,
GL_FALSE,
0,
(void*)0
);
// 3rd attribute buffer : particles' colors
glEnableVertexAttribArray(2);
glBindBuffer(GL_ARRAY_BUFFER, particles_color_buffer);
glVertexAttribPointer(
2,
4,
GL_UNSIGNED_BYTE,
GL_TRUE,
0,
(void*)0
);
glVertexAttribDivisor(0, 0);
glVertexAttribDivisor(1, 1);
glVertexAttribDivisor(2, 1);
glDrawArraysInstanced(GL_TRIANGLE_STRIP, 0, 4, ParticlesCount);
glDisableVertexAttribArray(0);
glDisableVertexAttribArray(1);
glDisableVertexAttribArray(2);
then i try to draw my star:
unit2 += 1;
starTexture->Bind(unit2);
shaderObject ->useShader();
glUniform1i(glGetUniformLocation(shaderObject->programHandle, "colorTexture"), unit2);
glUniformMatrix4fv(glGetUniformLocation(shaderObject->programHandle, "modelMatrix"), 1, GL_FALSE, glm::value_ptr(star1->getModelMatrix()));
glUniformMatrix4fv(glGetUniformLocation(shaderObject->programHandle, "projectionMatrix"), 1, GL_FALSE, glm::value_ptr(projectionViewMatrix));
star1->draw();
the vertex and fragment shader for the particle system:
#version 330 core
// Input vertex data, different for all executions of this shader.
layout(location = 0) in vec3 squareVertices;
layout(location = 1) in vec4 xyzs; // Position of the center of the particule and size of the square
layout(location = 2) in vec4 color; // Position of the center of the particule and size of the square
// Output data ; will be interpolated for each fragment.
out vec2 UV;
out vec4 particlecolor;
// Values that stay constant for the whole mesh.
uniform vec3 CameraRight_worldspace;
uniform vec3 CameraUp_worldspace;
uniform mat4 VP; // Model-View-Projection matrix, but without the Model (the position is in BillboardPos; the orientation depends on the camera)
void main()
{
float particleSize = xyzs.w; // because we encoded it this way.
vec3 particleCenter_wordspace = xyzs.xyz;
vec3 vertexPosition_worldspace =
particleCenter_wordspace
+ CameraRight_worldspace * squareVertices.x * particleSize
+ CameraUp_worldspace * squareVertices.y * particleSize;
// Output position of the vertex
gl_Position = VP * vec4(vertexPosition_worldspace, 1.0f);
// UV of the vertex. No special space for this one.
UV = squareVertices.xy + vec2(0.5, 0.5);
particlecolor = color;
}
frragment shader:
#version 330 core
// Interpolated values from the vertex shaders
in vec2 UV;
in vec4 particlecolor;
// Ouput data
out vec4 color;
uniform sampler2D myTexture;
void main(){
// Output color = color of the texture at the specified UV
color = texture2D( myTexture, UV ) * particlecolor;
}
and it only displays the particle system:
worth mentioning is:
the object i want to draw is a star modelled in blender and is displayed correctly when drawn alone or with other objects other than the particle system. and has its own class having buffers for psitions, UVs, indices and normals...
it seems like the star data are being swallowed by the buffer...
i appreciate every help...
