OpenGL Texture Sampling not working - c++

I'm using VC++10 + OpenGL + the Assimp Library to consume and then render some 3D models.
The code is rendering the positions correctly, but for some reason the textures are seriously bugged. My texcoords appear to be loading correctly as are the texture files themselves - however I can't help but feel that the issue must be located with the loaded textures themselves.

{ i seem to have a lack of rep to post inline images }
********** EDIT1 : ***********
So, I've been using the awesome GDebugger application to debug and interrogate the OpenGL pipeline in realtime. 2 things stand out really :
1. The biggy here is that the loaded texture is meant to look like this ->

but actually looks like this when loaded into OpenGL memory :

2. Not sure if this is still applicable(as discussed in the comments), however the GL_TEXTURE_2D state variable is always FALSE throughout the game loop.
So I'm going to have to play with the texture loading code to see if I can get any traction there and post another update.
A few big relevant code chunks{sorry!} :
* Vertex Shader *
#version 420
layout(location = 0) in vec3 position;
layout(location = 1) in vec3 normal;
layout(location = 2) in vec2 texCoord;
uniform mat4 cameraToClipMatrix;
uniform mat4 modelToCameraMatrix;
out vec2 oTexCoord;
out vec4 oNormal;
void main()
{
oTexCoord = texCoord;
vec4 cameraPos = modelToCameraMatrix * vec4(position,1.0);
gl_Position = cameraToClipMatrix * cameraPos;
oNormal = normalize(vec4(modelToCameraMatrix * vec4(normal,0.0)));
}
* Fragment Shader *
#version 420
in vec4 Normal;
in vec2 TexCoord;
layout (location = 0) out vec4 FragColor;
uniform sampler2D gSampler;
void main()
{
FragColor = texture(gSampler, TexCoord);
//FragColor = vec4(1.1, 0.0, 1.1, 1.0);
}

cameraToClipMatrixUnif = glGetUniformLocation(theProgram, "cameraToClipMatrix"); // projection matrix
m_samplerUnif = glGetUniformLocation(theProgram, "gSampler"); // grab the gSampler uniform location reference in the fragment shader
float fzNear = 1.0f; float fzFar = 45.0f;
cameraToClipMatrix[0].x = fFrustumScale;
cameraToClipMatrix[1].y = fFrustumScale;
cameraToClipMatrix[2].z = (fzFar + fzNear) / (fzNear - fzFar);
cameraToClipMatrix[2].w = -1.0f;
cameraToClipMatrix[3].z = (2 * fzFar * fzNear) / (fzNear - fzFar);

I notice your vertex shader declares:
out vec2 oTexCoord;
but your fragment shader declares:
in vec2 TexCoord;
This might leave your texture coordinates undefined.

I think you need to enable textures with glEnable(GL_TEXTURES_2D) in your init section. I get the same look by commenting out that line from my project. Here's the code, if that helps:
EnableGraphics::EnableGraphics()
{
glMatrixMode(GL_PROJECTION);
glPushMatrix();
glOrtho(-1.0, 1.0, -1.0, 1.0, 0.0, 1.0);
glEnable(GL_DEPTH_TEST);
glDepthFunc(GL_LEQUAL);
glEnable(GL_BLEND);
glBlendFunc(GL_SRC_ALPHA, GL_ONE_MINUS_SRC_ALPHA); // typical alpha transparency
glEnable(GL_TEXTURE_2D);
glEnableClientState(GL_VERTEX_ARRAY);
glEnableClientState(GL_COLOR_ARRAY);
glEnableClientState(GL_TEXTURE_COORD_ARRAY);
}
EDIT:
In case your link dies, I should add that your screenshot shows a 3D model with no textures or shading, although it has colors.

OpenGL Model/Texture rendering using VAO/VBO

I am trying to render 3D models with textures using Assimp. The conversion goes perfect, all textures positions and what not gets loaded. I have tested the texture images by drawing them to the screen in 2D.
For some reason it does not render the textures to the model.
I am a beginner in OpenGL so forgive me if i dont explain it right.
The tutorial I have based the code on is from here, but i stripped a big part since I have my own camera/movement system.
The model renders like this: http://i.stack.imgur.com/5sK9K.png
whilest the texture in use looks like this: http://i.stack.imgur.com/sWGp7.jpg
The relevant rendering code is the following:

/* getTexture Filenames and Numb of Textures */
for (unsigned int m = 0; m<scene->mNumMaterials; m++){
int texIndex = 0;
aiReturn texFound;
aiString path; // filename
while ((texFound = scene->mMaterials[m]->GetTexture(aiTextureType_DIFFUSE, texIndex, &path)) == AI_SUCCESS){
textureIdMap[path.data] = NULL; //fill map with textures, pointers still NULL yet
texIndex++;
}
}
int numTextures = textureIdMap.size();
/* create and fill array with GL texture ids */
GLuint* textureIds = new GLuint[numTextures];
/* get iterator */
std::map<std::string, GLuint>::iterator itr = textureIdMap.begin();
std::string basepath = getBasePath(path);
ALLEGRO_BITMAP *image;
for (int i = 0; i<numTextures; i++){
std::string filename = (*itr).first; // get filename
(*itr).second = textureIds[i]; // save texture id for filename in map
itr++; // next texture
std::string fileloc = basepath + filename; /* Loading of image */
image = al_load_bitmap(fileloc.c_str());
if (image) /* If no error occured: */{
GLuint texId = al_get_opengl_texture(image);

}
}
Any other relevant code parts can be found in my open github project https://github.com/kwek20/StrategyGame/tree/master/Strategy
Mesh.cpp is relevant, as well as main.cpp and Camera.cpp.
As far as I understaind I followed the guidelines well, created a VAO, created VBOs, added data and enabled the proper vertex array attriute tot render the scene with.
I have checked all the data variables and everything is filled according to plan
Could anyone here spot the mistake I have made and or explain it?
Some links are typed weird because of the limit I have :(
It would help if you posted your shaders also.

//assimp-wrapping function to load obj to vectors

Then comes the shader-part:
In the vertex shader you just hand-through the UV-coordinate layer
#version 400 core
layout (location = 0) in vec3 vertexPosition_modelspace;
layout (location = 1) in vec3 vertexNormal_modelspace;
layout (location = 2) in vec2 vertexUV;
out vec2 UV;
[... in main then ...]
UV = vertexUV;
While in the fragment shader you assign the value to the pixel:
#version 400 core
in vec2 UV;
uniform sampler2D textureSampler;
layout(location = 0) out vec4 outColor;
[... in main then ...]
// you probably want to calculate lighting here then too, so its just the simplest way to get the texture inside
outColor = vec4(texture2D(textureSampler, UV).rgb, cosAngle);
//you can also check whether the UV coords are correctly bound by using:
outColor = vec4(UV.x, UV.y,1,1);
//and then checking the pixel-values in the resulting image (e.g. render it to a PBO and then download it onto the CPU for)
In the rendering loop also make sure that all the uniforms are correctly bound (especially texture related ones) and that the texture is active and bound
if (mTextureID != -1) {
glActiveTexture(GL_TEXTURE0);
glBindTexture(GL_TEXTURE_2D, mTextureID);
}
GLint textureLocation = glGetUniformLocation(mShaderProgram, "textureSampler");
glUniform1i(textureLocation, 0);
//**set the poligon mode
glPolygonMode(GL_FRONT_AND_BACK, GL_FILL);
//**drawElements because of indexing
glDrawElements(GL_TRIANGLES, mNumIndices, GL_UNSIGNED_INT, 0);
I hope I could help you!

Instantiation order changing draw in OpenGL using VAO

I trying to use VAOs, VBOs and IBOs to draw a bunch of sphere over a plane. Before using these, everything was drawn as expected. After I started to use those, things got weird. I can't post my whole code here because I have 5 classes (but if necessary I can provide a link to my code), so I'll try to post what I think it's useful.
With this class I can draw a sphere:

Instantiating the plane and then the sphere program, I get the following result (no plane at all):
Changing the order, that is the result:
I'm trying to find a clue about what I'm missing, because I don't have any idea about what is wrong. Before using VAOs (just using glVertexAttribPointer and glDrawElements), everything was drawn correctly.
Thank you in advance.
The problem is with the placement of the glVertexAttribPointer() call. You're calling it in the LoadAtributeVariables() method, which in turn is called from the Draw*() method.
This should really be part of the VAO setup, for a couple of reasons:
It's inefficient to make the call on every redraw. This call sets up state that is part of the VAO state. That's the whole idea of using VAOs in the first place. You can set up all this state once during setup, and then only need to bind the VAO again before the draw call, which sets up all the state again with a single call.
In your case, the VBO is not bound at the time you make the call. glVertexAttribPointer() sets up the attribute to pull data from the currently bound VBO, i.e. the buffer bound as GL_ARRAY_BUFFER.
The first problem is only a performance issue. The second is the reason why your code does not work, since you do not have the correct VBO bound when glVertexAttribPointer() is called.
To fix this, you only need to move the LoadAtributeVariables() call into BuildVAO(), at this location:
// Generate and bind the vertex buffer object
glGenBuffers(1, &_vbo);
glBindBuffer(GL_ARRAY_BUFFER, _vbo);
glBufferData(GL_ARRAY_BUFFER, _sphereCoordinates.size() * sizeof(float), &_sphereCoordinates[0], GL_STATIC_DRAW);
LoadAtributeVariables();
and remove it from where it currently is, so that it is not called before each draw call anymore.

OpenGL vertex shader transform, object disappearing

I have successfully set up a shader and a test triangle for OpenGL. And I want to set up a transformation uniform that can be applied in the vertex shader. Problem is, I can't see my object anymore after I multiply my vec4 position with the mat4 transform. Where am I doing something wrong?
Vertex shader:
#version 120
attribute vec3 vertices;
attribute vec3 colors;
attribute vec2 texCoords;
uniform mat4 transform;
varying vec3 shared_colors;
varying vec2 shared_texCoords;
void main() {
gl_Position = transform * vec4(vertices, 1.0);
//Send data to fragment shader
shared_colors = colors;
shared_texCoords = texCoords;
}
Fragment shader:
#version 120
uniform sampler2D diffuse;
varying vec3 shared_colors;
varying vec2 shared_texCoords;
void main() {
gl_FragColor = vec4(shared_colors, 1);
//gl_FragColor = texture2D(diffuse, shared_texCoords); //vec4(1, 0, 0, 1);

From your code:
void Mesh::draw() {
if (initialized) {
shader->update(transform);
shader->enable(true);
GL uniforms are per program state, and setting a uniform will affect the currently bound program object. Since you do not have the program object bound at the time you try to set the uniform, the uniform is left at its default state (all zeros). Just switch these two lines...

BillBoarding Implementation

I am trying to implement soft particles in my projects.
Everything is fine , I implement the texture also. But when the mouse is moved to a certain angle,
the particles get distorted. The particle is generated in view space.
So, I would like to know how could I implement the billboard in my project so that every particles seem uniform.Here is my code:
bool CETSmokeRenderer::InitBuffers()
{
size_t vertexSize = 3 * 4 * m_NumVertex * sizeof(float);
size_t colorSize = 4 * 4 * m_NumVertex * sizeof(float);
size_t texCoordSize = 2 * 4 * m_NumVertex * sizeof(float);

This code is pretty old and I have no way to test rendering here (no distinct GFX card) so if there are any issues let me know and I can fix it once at my GFX dev machine.
Addendum:
Shaders may help too (dont know how I forgot them, old age maybe catching up on me!) so here they are:
Vertex shader (shader.vert)
#version 330 // set this to whatever minimum version you want to support
in vec3 vVertex;
uniform mat4 MVP;
void main()
{
gl_Position = MVP*vec4(vVertex,1);
}
Fragment shader (shader.frag)
#version 330
out vec4 vFragColour;
uniform vec3 Colour;
uniform vec3 lightDirection;
void main(void)
{
// calculate normal from texture coordinates
vec3 N;
N.xy = gl_PointCoord* 2.0 - vec2(1.0);
float mag = dot(N.xy, N.xy);
if (mag > 1.0) discard; // kill pixels outside the circle we want
N.z = sqrt(1.0-mag); // this might be expensive depending on your hardware
float diffuse = max(0.0, dot(lightDirection, N)); // calculate lighting
vFragColour = vec4(Colour,1) * diffuse;
}
Addendum 2:
To add the freeglut libraries to your build and resolve LNK 1104 errors simply go to *Project >> Properties >> VC++ Directories* and add the directories where your freeglut includes, source libraries and dlls are stored, for example for lib files go to
Add the folders as follows:
DLL Directories: add to Executable Directories
.h file Directories(include folder): add to Include Directories
.cpp file Directories: add to Source Directories
.lib file Directories: add to Library Directories
Hope this helps:)

Crash in glDrawArrays for large models

I have implemented a simple (slow) method that would imitate OpenGL immediate mode for drawing lines.
Each frame, I add a pair of vertices, that indicate lines to vector structure, as well as add some specified or default color to another vector structure.
void WindowsGraphicsManager::vertex(float x, float y, float z) {
vertices_.push_back(x);
vertices_.push_back(y);
vertices_.push_back(z);
colors_.push_back(vertexColor_.getR());
colors_.push_back(vertexColor_.getG());
colors_.push_back(vertexColor_.getB());
colors_.push_back(vertexColor_.getA());
}
And at the end of each frame I clear these vectors.
My render code looks like this:
void WindowsGraphicsManager::renderVertices(Mat4 mat) {
if (vertices_.size() == 0) {
return;
}
static Shader* shader = (Shader*) services_->getRM()->get(
Resource::SHADER, "openglimmediate");
glUseProgram(shader->getId());
shader->setMatrix4(Shader::WVP, mat);
glEnableVertexAttribArray(shader->getHandle(Shader::POS));
glVertexAttribPointer(shader->getHandle(Shader::POS),
3, GL_FLOAT, GL_FALSE, 0, &vertices_[0]);
glEnableVertexAttribArray(shader->getHandle(Shader::COL));
glVertexAttribPointer(shader->getHandle(Shader::COL),
4, GL_FLOAT, GL_FALSE, 0, &colors_[0]);
//LOGI("Before crash.");
//LOGI("Vertices size: %d", vertices_.size());
//LOGI("Colors size: %d", colors_.size());
//INFO: Vertices size: 607590
//INFO: Colors size: 810120
glDrawArrays(GL_LINES, 0, vertices_.size() / 3);
CHECK_GL_ERROR("Rendering lines.");
//LOGI("After crash.");
glDisableVertexAttribArray(shader->getHandle(Shader::COL));
glDisableVertexAttribArray(shader->getHandle(Shader::POS));
vertices_.clear();
colors_.clear();
}
When I add 607590 floats (divide by 3 for vertices) to vertices vector, rendering crashes on line with glDrawArrays function. Strange thing though, when I first maximize the window and render, then it works fine for model with 607590 floats, though it still crashes for model with ~800k flaots.
What might be causing this?
[Edit] Before rendering vertices I call one other method. After removing it, rendering stopped crashing, so I guess I do something wrong here.

I had to move glBindBuffer() to the end of same method, and I also wrote glDisableVertexAttribArray for position, normal and UV buffers. This solved the problem, but I'm not sure why. I thought there is no need to call glDisableVertexAttribArray for VBO.
I think this problem is specific for NVIDIA drivers and gives first chance exception for nvoglv32.dll.
