I am new to OpenGL. I have the following code that I am using from a tutorial I followed, what it does is render a tile map. It does this successfully but my problem now is that I want to add a moveable object onto the window however it is not appearing.

The tile map will disappear and my moveable square is visible and works...I just can't implement the two together successfully. Again i'm completely new to this so apologise if I am doing something really stupid Any ideas where I am going wrong?
Are you sure you want to draw the tile map with a perspective projection? It seems to me that you should be using an orthographic projection for both the tile map and the ball.
Change your reshape function to simply call enable2D(w, h). Then change your drawTiles function to draw using screen coordinates instead. That should work.
Some additional notes:
Don't forget to disable texturing when drawing your ball (you don't seem to be setting any texture for it, so it will just render with the last texture set).
You could also disable depth testing with glDisable(GL_DEPTH_TEST) since you don't really need it (and use glVertex2f for drawing the tile map instead of glVertex3f)
I'm trying to move my code over to modern Opengl, but am having trouble. Right now my code will draw a cube and it will put a texture on, but it will only attach the first texture to all of my face. I am also using SOIL to load my textures into my program. What am I doing wrong?

The posted code has a few issues:
It's loading only one texture:
glGenTextures(6, m_Textures);
for(int i = 0 ; i < 1 ; i++)
{
glBindTexture(GL_TEXTURE_2D, m_Textures[i]);
...
If you want to load 6 textures, like the rest of the code suggests, you'll have to use 6 for the end value of the loop:
for(int i = 0 ; i < 6 ; i++)
It's creating texture ids twice, and sets parameters with the wrong texture bound. At the start of LoadTexture(), it generates 6 texture ids:
glGenTextures(6, m_Textures);
and then binds them, and makes glTexParameteri() to set various parameters on them. But then it calls SOIL_load_ogl_texture() with a flag asking it to create a new id again, and then stores that one away:
m_Textures[i] = SOIL_load_OGL_texture(
m_TextureNames[i].c_str(),
SOIL_LOAD_AUTO,
SOIL_CREATE_NEW_ID,
SOIL_FLAG_MIPMAPS | SOIL_FLAG_INVERT_Y | SOIL_FLAG_NTSC_SAFE_RGB | SOIL_FLAG_COMPRESS_TO_DXT
);
To fix this, you can omit the gGenTextures() call, and move the code to bind the texture and call glTexParameteri() after the SOIL_load_ogl_texture() call. Also, this uses a flag to generate mipmaps, but sets the texture filters to not use mipmapping.
In the draw function, it loops over the 6 faces, but then draws the entire cube each time:
for (int i=0;i<6;i++)
{
glPushMatrix();
glActiveTexture(GL_TEXTURE0);
glBindTexture(GL_TEXTURE_2D, m_Textures[i]);
glDrawElements(GL_TRIANGLES, 36, GL_UNSIGNED_BYTE, m_Indices);
glPopMatrix();
}
The second argument to glDrawElements() specifies the number of vertices to be rendered. With the value 36, all vertices will be used (6 sides of the cube, with 2 triangles each, with 3 vertices each.
Also, the glPushMatrix()/glPopMatrix() serves absolutely no purpose. The draw loop should look something like this:
glActiveTexture(GL_TEXTURE0);
for (int i=0;i<6;i++)
{
glBindTexture(GL_TEXTURE_2D, m_Textures[i]);
glDrawElements(GL_TRIANGLES, 6, GL_UNSIGNED_BYTE, m_Indices + i * 6);
}
I don't see the depth test being enabled anywhere. Add this to setup():
glEnable(GL_DEPTH_TEST);
I do it a little differently that works, so maybe the issue is in the difference.
I would bind each texture to a different GL_Texture (GL_Texture0, GL_Texture1...) so that each texture has it's own data. I don't know how SOIL works, but in my case for the first texture after:
glTexParameteri(GL_TEXTURE_2D,GL_TEXTURE_MIN_FILTER,GL_NEAREST);
I would include a call:
glTexImage2D(GL_TEXTURE_2D, 0, GL_RGBA, texture1Width, texture1Height, 0, GL_RGBA, GL_UNSIGNED_BYTE, bitmapData);
glActiveTexture(GL_TEXTURE0);
glBindTexture(GL_TEXTURE_2D, m_Textures[0]);
And I would repeat this process for each of the 6 textures.
Then I would draw each face:
// First face
glActiveTexture(GL_TEXTURE0);
glBindTexture(GL_TEXTURE_2D, m_Textures[0]);
glDrawElements(GL_TRIANGLES, 36, GL_UNSIGNED_BYTE, m_Indices);
// Second face
glActiveTexture(GL_TEXTURE1);
glBindTexture(GL_TEXTURE_2D, m_Textures[1]);
glDrawElements(GL_TRIANGLES, 36, GL_UNSIGNED_BYTE, m_Indices);
And so on for each face.
EDIT:
I did some checking about SOIL, and it looks to me like (using SOIL) you would:
GLuint m_Textures[6];
int img_width, img_height;
glGenTextures(6, m_Textures);
// For each texture
unsigned char* img = SOIL_load_image(m_TextureNames[0].c_str(), &img_width, &img_height, NULL, 0); // or m_TextureNames[1].c_str() ...
glBindTexture(GL_TEXTURE_2D, m_Textures[0]); // or m_textures[1]...
glTexParameteri(GL_TEXTURE_2D, GL_TEXTURE_WRAP_S, GL_REPEAT);
glTexParameteri(GL_TEXTURE_2D, GL_TEXTURE_WRAP_T, GL_REPEAT);
// Set texture filtering
glTexParameteri(GL_TEXTURE_2D,GL_TEXTURE_MAG_FILTER,GL_NEAREST); // NOTE the GL_NEAREST Here!
glTexParameteri(GL_TEXTURE_2D,GL_TEXTURE_MIN_FILTER,GL_NEAREST); // NOTE the GL_NEAREST Here!
glTexImage2D(GL_TEXTURE_2D, 0, GL_RGB, img_width, img_height, 0, GL_RGB, GL_UNSIGNED_BYTE, img);
glActiveTexture(GL_TEXTURE0); // or GL_TEXTURE1....
glBindTexture(GL_TEXTURE_2D, m_Textures[0]); // or m_Textures[1]...
I've previously asked how I might be able to display my colour buffer and also save it to disk, and the answer I got was that I should;
Render to a FBO and use glReadPixels() to slurp images out of that instead of the front buffer.
How can I generate a screenshot when glReadPixels is empty?
However, I've read a bit about framebuffers and am still totally confused, so I thought I would ask about how to do this on SO. My code does something like this:
/* Callback handler for window re-paint event */
void display()
{
glClear(GL_COLOR_BUFFER_BIT); //Clear the color buffer
glMatrixMode(GL_MODELVIEW); //To operate on the model-view matrix
// do some rendering
glFlush(); // display
}
when I want to save the image at any point, I run this:
std::unique_ptr<RGBA2D> GrabScreen()
{
//we get the width/height of the screen into this array
GLint screen[4];
//get the width/height of the window
glGetIntegerv(GL_VIEWPORT, screen);
GLint width = screen[2];
GLint height = screen[3];
std::unique_ptr<RGBA2D> pixels(new RGBA2D(height, width * 4));
glReadPixels(0, 0, width, height, GL_RGBA, GL_UNSIGNED_BYTE, pixels->data());
return std::move(pixels);
}
Note that RGBA2D is a 2D eigen vector object (not important). This all works fine, except that it only saves the image if it is being displayed. I want to be able to run my program on a unix machine without a display. I want to render to an FBO. How do I do this?
Not hand-holding, but I can hopefully point you in the right direction.
You will use glGenFramebuffers and glBindFramebuffer to create and bind a Framebuffer Object (FBO).
Then you have a choice if you want to render to a texture or to a renderbuffer. For your purpose, either one will work. The renderbuffer is easier, IMHO. Use glGenRenderbuffers, glBindRenderbuffer and glRenderbufferStorage to set up your color renderbuffer.
Then you attach your color renderbuffer to the FBO, using glFramebufferRenderbuffer.
If you need a depth buffer, repeat the previous two steps to create and attach another renderbuffer used as the depth buffer for your FBO rendering.
Then do your rendering, and grab the frame with glReadPixels.
All these calls are documented in the man pages at www.opengl.org. If you search for the keywords and some of the function names, you should also be able to find some full code samples.
Recently I had a small discussion on the Wayland devel maillist where I wanted to demonstrate how FBOs don't get updated when the X-Server managing the GPU is not holding the VT. Anyway, for demonstration purposes I hacked a quick and dirty program from various sources I had around, that renders to an FBO in a loop and writes the created picture out to a file. It's not optimized for performance, but does what you're interested in, so I drop the source code here (note that the malloc for the readout buffer misses a paired free, so there's a nongrowing memory leak in there)

I've got a fairly complicated scene with many GL_POINTS that I need to render. The scene will be largely static, so I'd like to render it to a Framebuffer Object and then only update that FBO when my scene actually changes. I'd then like to render the FBO to the screen each frame.
I've found examples that render an FBO into a texture. I've found examples that render an FBO into a RenderBuffer (still not quite sure what that is). I'm not sure what the steps are to achieve this. Do I need to render to a texture and the draw the texture to the screen?
Can you please enumerate the steps (ideally even in pseudocode or actual code) to render my scene to an FBO and then draw that FBO to the screen.
draw() is sufficient for a placeholder for my own drawing functions.
I provide a minimal FBO example just for this
Basically the steps are: Create FBO with depth renderbuffer and color texture attachment. To render to FBO unbind the target texture, bind FBO, render to FBO. Unbind FBO, bind texture, render.

Here is alternative example which does not require textures:
// copy framebuffer
if(fboUsed)
{
glBindFramebuffer(GL_READ_FRAMEBUFFER, fboId);
glBindFramebuffer(GL_DRAW_FRAMEBUFFER, 0);
glBlitFramebuffer(0, 0, TEXTURE_WIDTH, TEXTURE_HEIGHT,
0, 0, screenWidth, screenHeight,
GL_COLOR_BUFFER_BIT,
GL_LINEAR);
glBindFramebuffer(GL_READ_FRAMEBUFFER, 0);
}
Replace variables in blit with your own.
Apperently frame buffer 0 is front buffer.
fboId is your frame buffer number.
I have a vertex/fragment shader that draws a rectangle performing many calculations based on a texture. (It blends pixels, modifies them, etc). The thing is that each rectangle and the pixels it contains will not change. I only move the entire rectangle(s) around and zoom them.
Is there any way to optimize the fragment shader since the rectangles do not really need to be recomputed?
So, if I understood you correctly you compute those rectangles once and then want to reuse them? This kind of task is solved by rendering to a texture and then use the generated textures further on.
Render to texture is easiest done through Framebuffer Objects.
EDIT: A simple example for using FBO to render to texture
// test_fbo_teapot.cpp
#include <GL/glew.h> // Uses GLEW for extension loading
#include <GL/glut.h> // Uses GLUT as framework
// Check those are on your system for compilation
// and if not please install them.
